Soft wetting and the Shuttleworth effect, at the crossroads between thermodynamics and mechanics [PDF]

, 2016
Extremely compliant elastic materials, such as thin membranes or soft gels, can be deformed when wetted by a liquid drop. It is commonly assumed that the solid capillarity in “soft wetting” can be treated in the same manner as liquid surface tension ...

Elastic, thermal expansion, plastic and rheological processes - theory and experiment [PDF]

, 2015
Rocks are important examples for solid materials where, in various engineering situations, elastic, thermal expansion, rheological/viscoelastic and plastic phenomena each may play a remarkable role.

Hawking radiation without black hole entropy [PDF]

, 1997
In this Letter I point out that Hawking radiation is a purely kinematic effect that is generic to Lorentzian geometries. Hawking radiation arises for any test field on any Lorentzian geometry containing an event horizon regardless of whether or not the ...

Thermodynamic analysis of the change of solid solubility in a binary system processed by mechanical alloying

Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2009
Abstract Using a non-equilibrium process, it is possible to extend the solid solubility range in metallic systems. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to apply a thermodynamic model to predict the change in the solubility limit of systems with positive enthalpy mixing (Cu–Cr and Fe–Cu) processed by mechanical alloying.

In silico estimates of the free energy rates in growing tumor spheroids [PDF]

, 2010
The physics of solid tumor growth can be considered at three distinct size scales: the tumor scale, the cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) scale and the sub-cellular scale. In this paper we consider the tumor scale in the interest of eventually developing a

Atomic thermodynamics and microkinetics of the reduction mechanism of electrolyte additives to facilitate the formation of solid electrolyte interphases in lithium-ion batteries

RSC Advances, 2020
The formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) between the anode surface and the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been considered to be the most important yet the least understood issue of LIBs.

Incommensurate Crystallization of Neutron Matter in Neutron Stars

East European Journal of Physics, 2020
The composition of the neutron stars from its surface region, outer-core, inner-core, and to its center is still being investigated. One can only surmise on the properties of neutron stars from the spectroscopic data that may be available from time to ...

Heat-exchange statistics in driven open quantum systems

New Journal of Physics, 2014
As the dimensions of physical systems approach the nanoscale, the laws of thermodynamics must be reconsidered due to the increased importance of fluctuations and quantum effects.

Heat–fluid–solid coupling model for gas-bearing coal seam and numerical modeling on gas drainage promotion by heat injection

International Journal of Coal Science & Technology, 2019
Improving the absorbed gas to active desorption and seepage and delaying gas drainage attenuation are considered as key methods for increasing drainage efficiency and gas output. According to the solid mechanics theory, the nonlinear Darcy seepage theory

Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics

Probably Not, 2019
Outline: The title of the course specifies the main topics to be covered. Our approach will be an integrated one going back and forth between the macroscopic (classical thermodynamics) and the microscopic (statistical mechanics) to the study of the ...
