The covariance of the d'Alembert equation for acoustic phenomena, described by mechanical waves in one or three spatial dimensions, under Galilean transformations, is demonstrated without the need to abandon the hypothesis that time is…
Topological transformations of dielectric structures radically change the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of photonic resonances. Moreover, optical effects may arise that characterize the moment of transition from one structure to another,…
Non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) is one of the most fundamental phenomena in non-Hermitian physics. Although it is established that one-dimensional NHSE originates from the nontrivial spectral winding topology, the topological origin behind…
We consider in this paper the general properties of laminates designed to be isotropic in extension and in bending and with a coupling between the in- and out-of plane responses. In particular, we analyze the mathematical properties of the…
The motion of rockets is part of the study devoted to the motion of variable mass systems. Notably those in which the mass leaves permanently the considered system. Rockets are propelled forward by the reaction force produced by the hot…
We derive the constitutive equation for a suspension of lopsided Hookean dumbbells. By lopsided, we mean that one bead is larger than the other. We find that all results derived for symmetric Hookean dumbbells can be taken over for lopsided…
Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics predicts the existence of traveling waves of pure potentials, with zero electromagnetic fields, denoted as gauge waves, or g-waves for short. In general, these waves cannot be shielded by matter since their…
Rotary dynamics of polarized composite particles as dipole rigid bodies is considered. It is described the Euler equations singularly perturbed by the radiation reaction torque. The Schott term is taken into account, and the reduction…
In order to enhance safety, nuclear reactors in the design phase consider natural circulation as a mean to remove residual power. The simulation of this passive mechanism must be qualified between the validation range and the scope of…
The effects of the Ohmic and magnetic density currents are investigated in the linearized Euler-Heisenberg electrodynamics. The linearization is introduced through an external magnetic field, in which the vector potential of the…
Considering the importance of correctly understanding the dynamics of microstructure materials for their applications in related technologies, by eliminating the shortcomings and some overlooked physical concepts in the existing asymmetric…
We have analytically determined the refractive index for the mechanical refraction of a relativistic particle for its all possible speeds. We have critically analysed the importance of Descartes' metaphysical theory and extended it in this…
Acoustic waves in fluid with spin-0 nature have been long believed not to support spin Hall effect and strong orbital Hall effect that enables experimental observation. Here we report the first theoretical explication and experimental…
The rod and slit paradox, as first proposed by R. Shaw, is revisited. In this paradox, a rod of rest length $l_0$ moves parallel to the horizontal x-axis. Simultaneously, a thin sheet parallel to the horizontal xz-plane with a rod-shaped…
The aim of this study is to present an alternative way to deduce the equations of motion of general (i.e., also nonlinear) nonholonomic constrained systems starting from the d'Alembert principle and proceeding by an algebraic procedure. The…
The moir\'{e} effect provides an interpretation for the steering of antennas that form beams through internal spatial interferences. We make an explicit connection between such antennas and the moir\'{e} effect, and use it to model six…
For a given class of materials, \emph{universal deformations} are those deformations that can be maintained in the absence of body forces and by applying solely boundary tractions. For inhomogeneous bodies, in addition to the universality…
In order to analyze the wave propagation in three-dimensional isotropic and viscoelastic body, the Cauchy initial value problem on unbounded domain is considered for the wave equation written as a system of fractional partial differential…
We show that the action of a dynamical system can be supplemented by an effective action for its environment to reproduce arbitrary coordinate dependent ohmic dissipation and gyroscopic forces. The action is a generalization of the harmonic…
Seven derivations of the Lambert-Beer law are proposed in this paper. They were designed to be simple and intuitive. Most of them are suitable for the classroom. Readers can also benefit from them by looking at the phenomenon from different…
