Applied Sciences, 2020 Soil-abutment or soil-pile interactions under cyclic static loads have been widely studied in integral abutment jointless bridges (IAJBs). However, the IAJB has the combinational interaction of soil-abutment and soil-pile, and the soil-abutment-pile ...

Thermal Ratchet Effect in Confining Geometries [PDF]
Entropy, 2017 The stochastic model of the Feynman–Smoluchowski ratchet is proposed and solved using generalization of the Fick–Jacobs theory. The theory fully captures nonlinear response of the ratchet to the difference of heat bath temperatures. The ratchet performance is discussed using the mean velocity, the average heat flow between the two heat reservoirs and ...

Microstructural Effects on Thermal-Mechanical Alleviation of Cold Dwell Fatigue in Titanium Alloys
Crystals, 2022 Cold dwell fatigue is a well-known problem in the titanium components of aircraft engines. The high temperature and low dwell stress of in-service conditions have been reported to give rise to dwell fatigue resistance through a thermal-mechanical ...

Controlling the Ratchet Effect for Cold Atoms [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 Low-order quantum resonances manifested by directed currents have been realized with cold atoms. Here we show that by increasing the strength of an experimentally achievable delta-kicking ratchet potential, quantum resonances of a very high order may naturally emerge and can induce larger ratchet currents than low-order resonances, with the underlying ...

Numerical Investigation of Preload Process of Bolted Joint with Superelastic Shape Memory Alloy
Metals, 2018 A phenomenological constitutive model is developed to describe the uniaxial transformation ratcheting behaviors of the superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) by employing a cosine–type phase transformation equation with the initial martensite ...

Polymer Testing, 2023 Monotonic and pulsating cyclic compression tests were performed systematically based on high density polyethylene (HDPE). The compressive creep behaviors were further implemented to compare with the ratcheting deformation under the same peak stress level.

Ratchet Effects in Luttinger Liquids [PDF]
, 2006 We investigate a one-dimensional electron liquid with two point scatterers of different strength. In the presence of electron interactions, the nonlinear conductance is shown to depend on the current direction. The resulting asymmetry of the transport characteristic gives rise to a ratchet effect, i.e., the rectification of a dc current for an applied ...

Systemic Risk and the Refinancing Ratchet Effect [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 The confluence of three trends in the U.S. residential housing market—rising home prices, declining interest rates, and near-frictionless refinancing opportunities—led to vastly increased systemic risk in the financial system. Individually, each of these trends is benign, but when they occur simultaneously, as they did over the past decade, they impose
