Electromagnetic effects in the theory of rods

This paper is concerned with the nonlinear and linear thermomechanical theories of deformable rod-like bodies in which account is taken of electromagnetic effects. The development is made by a direct approach with the use of the one-dimensional formulation of a theory of directed media called a Cosserat curve . The first part of the paper deals with the formulation of appropriate nonlinear equations governing the motion of a rod in the presence of electromagnetic and thermal effects. In the second part of the paper, emphasis is placed on the linearized version of the theory, a general discussion of the linear constitutive equations and determination of the constitutive coefficients, along with applications in a number of special cases including a magnetic thermoelastic rod and a non-conducting rod in free space.

The paper considers one model of SOC close to BTW and slider blocks models. In addition, it introduces an additional time parameter and imposes special restrictions on the avalanche geometrical structure. The generalization and modification of the avalanche's concept allows us to apply H. Weyl's theorem in the dynamical system theory so as to obtain the strong and exact results in this area. We introduce some combinatorial characteristic of clusters and use it as a tool for estimating the frequency of the avalanches. The results obtained give the asymptotically exact expressions for the asymptotical frequency as well as two special types of such extended avalanches. In some special cases, they reduce the determination of the frequency of the avalanches to combinatorial enumerative problem for lattice animals on the d-dimensional torus. The other two results are related to the one-dimensional model and establish the connection between the SOC and the theory of number partitions.

If the potential energy is independent of time, the energy of the system remains constant during the motion of a closed system. A system with one degree of freedom allows for the determination of the law of motion in quadrature. In this chapter, the authors consider motion of the particles in the one-dimensional fields. They discuss also how the law and the period of a particle moving in the potential field change due to adding to the given field a small correction.

The capsular polysaccharide antigen of Neisseriameningitidis group K was isolated by Cetavlon precipitation and purified by ion-exchange chromatography. The structure of the K polysaccharide was determined to a large extent by comprehensive proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) studies. In these studies one-dimensional and two-dimensional experiments were carried out directly on the K polysaccharide. The K polysaccharide is composed of the following repeating unit: -4)β-D-ManpNAcA(1→3) [4-OAc]β-D-ManpNAcA(1→. Except for the one-bond couplings between their anomeric carbons and protons [Formula: see text], all the nmr spectroscopic evidence was consistent with both 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-mannopyranosyluronic acid residues adopting the 4C1 (D) conformation and having the β-D-configuration. This ambiguity in [Formula: see text] is probably due to through-space electronic effects generated by the presence of contiguous carboxylated sugar residues in the K polysaccharide. The O-acetyl substituents of the K polysaccharide are essential for its antigenicity to group K polysaccharide-specific antibodies.

The general Lie point transformation group and the associated reduced differential equations and similarity forms for the solutions are derived here for the coupled (nonlinear) Vlasov–Maxwell equations in one spatial dimension. The case of one species in a background is shown to admit a larger group than the multi-species case. Previous exact solutions are shown to be special cases of the above solutions, and many of the new solutions are found to constrain the form of the distribution function much more than, for example, the BGK solutions do. The individual generators of the Lie group are used to find the possible subgroups. Finally, a simple physical argument is given to show that the asymptotic solution (t→∞) for a one-species, one-dimensional plasma is one of the general similarity solutions.

AbstractAn exact invariant is found for the one-dimensional oscillator with equation of motion . The method used is that of linear canonical transformations with time-dependent coeffcients. This is a new approach to the problem and has the advantage of simplicity. When f(t) and g(t) are zero, the invariant is related to the well-known Lewis invariant. The significance of extension to higher dimension of these results is indicated, in particular for the existence of non-invariance dynamical symmetry groups.
