Bound states in the continuum (BICs) provide a viable way of achieving high-Q resonances in both photonics and acoustics. In this work, we proposed a general method of constructing Friedrich-Wintgen (FW) BICs and accidental BICs in a…
Plane waves are regarded as the general solution of the wave equation. However the plane wave expansion of standing waves by means of complex phasors leads to a theory in which the time coordinate does not receive the same treatment as the…
In recent decades, alternative propulsion systems have been investigated and have attracted great interest in the space community. Most of these alternative propulsion systems need propellants. One alternative propulsion system that does…
In the electromagnetic theory, the Hertz vector reduces the number of potentials in the free fields. The further advantage of this potential is that it is much easier to solve some radiation processes. It indicates that the related method…
The ghost note is a natural note which can be played exclusively on bass brass instruments with a predominantly-expanding bore profile such as tubas, euphoniums or saxhorns. It stands between the pedal note-the lowest natural note playable,…
We solve analytically the differential equations for a skier on a circular hill and for a particle on a loop-the-loop track when the hill or track is endowed with a coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$. For each problem, we determine the…
The famous bifurcation analysis performed by Fl\"ugge on compressed thin-walled cylinders is based on a series of simplifying assumptions, which allow to obtain the bifurcation landscape, together with explicit expressions for limit…
In this work, we examine the whip dynamics in a freely falling chain. We consider an inextensible chain with free ends in the presence of gravity hanging from a fixed pulley. If the configuration is unbalanced, the chain begins to…
We demonstrate that Robb-Geroch's definition of a relativistic interval admits a simple and fairly natural generalization leading to a Finsler extension of special relativity. Another justification for such an extension goes back to the…
In this paper, we consider isotropic Mindlin-Toupin strain gradient elasticity theory in which the equilibrium equations contain two additional length-scale parameters and have the fourth order. For this theory we developed an extended form…
In this work, we study lattice structures that exhibit a bistable behavior, i. e., they can snap from one stable state to another, and are also completely reversible, capable of reverting back to its original state through a heat treatment.…
A structural element is designed and investigated, forming the basis for the development of an elastic multistable metamaterial. The leitmotif of the structural design is the implementation of a strut characterized by a bifurcation…
The electromagnetic fields of linear radiating systems working without dispersive and dissipative losses are analyzed both in the time and the frequency domains. In the case of the time domain radiating system, the parameter studied is the…
We consider the motion of charged particles in the presence of a Dirac magnetic monopole. We use an extension of Noether's theorem for systems with magnetic forces and integrate explicitly the equations of motion.
A treatment is given of the precession of a Foucault pendulum by means of two successive rotational transformations of coordinate system. The simplicity and accuracy of this approach is emphasized.
We address three issues. i. The point particle assumption, inherent to non-quantum physics, is singular and entails divergent fields and integrals. ii. In quantum physics EM plays an asymmetric roll. It acts on quantum wave fields (wave…
A classic problem of the motion of a projectile thrown at an angle to the horizon is studied. Air resistance force is taken into account with the use of the quadratic resistance law. The action of the wind is also taken into account, which…
Cyclic multiaxial loadings of soft materials are usually studied throughout experiments involving machines that prescribe a combination of uniaxial tension and torsion. Due to the large strain framework, classical kinematic analyses of…
Based on the band theory of Bloch waves, a modified Bragg's law is established for Class I Bragg resonances when linear long waves are reflected by a finite periodic array of artificial bars, including rectangular, parabolic, rectified…
The important consequence of the Kramers-Kronig relations (KKrs) is that dissipative behavior in material media inevitably implies the existence of dispersion, i.e., a frequency dependence in the constitutive equations. Basically, the…
