Self-similarity and singularity formation in a coupled system of Yang-Mills-dilaton evolution equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We study both analytically and numerically a coupled system of spherically symmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills-dilaton equation in 3+1 Minkowski space-time. It has been found that the system admits a hidden scale invariance which becomes transparent if a special ...

The non-linear Schr\"odinger equation and the conformal properties of non-relativistic space-time

open access: yes, 2009
The cubic non-linear Schr\"odinger equation where the coefficient of the nonlinear term is a function $F(t,x)$ only passes the Painlev\'e test of Weiss, Tabor, and Carnevale only for $F=(a+bt)^{-1}$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants.

The Viscous Nonlinear Dynamics of Twist and Writhe [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Exploiting the "natural" frame of space curves, we formulate an intrinsic dynamics of twisted elastic filaments in viscous fluids. A pair of coupled nonlinear equations describing the temporal evolution of the filament's complex curvature and twist ...

Adhesive contact of rough brushes

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018
The adhesive contact between a rough brush-like structure and an elastic half-space is numerically simulated using the fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based boundary element method and the mesh-dependent detachment criterion of Pohrt and Popov.

Crack-Like Processes Governing the Onset of Frictional Slip

open access: yes, 2006
We perform real-time measurements of the net contact area between two blocks of like material at the onset of frictional slip. We show that the process of interface detachment, which immediately precedes the inception of frictional sliding, is governed ...

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Nonmonotonic Aging and Memory in a Frictional Interface

open access: yes, 2017
We measure the static frictional resistance and the real area of contact between two solid blocks subjected to a normal load. We show that following a two-step change in the normal load the system exhibits nonmonotonic aging and memory effects, two ...

Improved Precision Measurement of the Casimir Force [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We report an improved precision measurement of the Casimir force. The force is measured between a large Al coated sphere and flat plate using an Atomic Force Microscope.
