Elastic Spherical Shell

A solution, exact within the framework of linear elastokinetics, is obtained for a vibrating, elastic, arbitrarily thick spherical shell subject only to a spherically symmetric body force field of the form FR(r, τ) = Fr(r)Ft(τ). Fr(r) is taken in the form of a polynomial whereas Ft(τ) is restricted only to being a sectionally continuous function of time.

Geometry of the spacetime with a spherical shell embedded in it is studied in two coordinate systems: Kodama-Schwarzschild coordinates and Gaussian normal coordinates. We find explicit coordinate transformation between the Kodama-Schwarzschild and Gaussian normal coordinate systems. We show that projections of the metrics on the surface swept by the shell in the 4D spacetime in both cases are identical. In the general case of time-dependent metrics we calculate extrinsic curvatures of the shell in both coordinate systems and show that the results are identical. Applications to the Israel junction conditions are discussed.

A Charge

In this work the Cherenkov effect for extended charge distributions is analyzed using two different methods. In the first method, the Poynting vector is employed to determine the energy radiated, whereas in the second one, we apply the idea of generating time-dependent elemental dipoles, induced by a charge distribution moving with constant velocity, inside a material medium. An explicit expression for the Cherenkov radiation generated by some different kinds of spherically symmetric charge, travelling inside a medium, is obtained.PACS Nos.: 03.50.De, 41.20.Bt, 41.60.-m, 41.60.Bq
