Aging of the frictional properties induced by temperature variations [PDF]
The dry frictional contact between two solid surfaces is well-known to obey Coulomb friction laws. In particular, the static friction force resisting the relative lateral (tangential) motion of solid surfaces, initially at rest, is known to be ...

Origin of `end of aging' and sub-aging scaling behavior in glassy dynamics
Linear response functions of aging systems are routinely interpreted using the scaling variable $t_{\rm obs}/t_{\rm w}^\mu$,where $t_{\rm w}$ is the time at which the field conjugated to the response is turned on or off, and where $t_{\rm obs}$ is the ...

Measurement of Effective Temperatures in an Aging Colloidal Glass [PDF]
We study the thermal fluctuations of an optically confined probe particle, suspended in an aging colloidal suspension, as the suspension transforms from a viscous liquid into an elastic glass. The micron-sized bead forms a harmonic oscillator.

Out of equilibrium dynamics of a Quantum Heisenberg Spin Glass
We study the out of equilibrium dynamics of the infinite range quantum Heisenberg spin glass model coupled to a thermal relaxation bath. The SU(2) spin algebra is generalized to SU(N) and we analyse the large-N limit. The model displays a dynamical phase

Off equilibrium fluctuations in a polymer glass [PDF]
The fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR) is measured on the dielectric properties a polymer glass (polycarbonate). It is observed that the fluctuation dissipation theorem is strongly violated for a quench from above to below the glass transition ...

Surface Fluctuations of an Aging Colloidal Suspension: Evidence for Intermittent Quakes
We present measurements of the thermal fluctuations of the free surface of an aging colloidal suspension, Laponite. The technique consists in measuring the fluctuations of the position of a laser beam that reflects from the free surface.

Adjustment of model parameters to estimate distribution transformers remaining lifespan [PDF]
Currently, the electrical system in Argentina is working at its maximum capacity, decreasing the margin between the installed power and demanded consumption, and drastically reducing the service life of transformer substations due to overload (since the ...
