The analysis using the partial-wave series expansion (PWSE) method in spherical coordinates is extended to evaluate the acoustic radiation force experienced by rigid oblate and prolate spheroids centered on the axis of wave propagation of…
Analytical expressions for the axial and transverse acoustic radiation forces as well as the radiation torque per length are derived for a rigid elliptical cylinder placed arbitrarily in the field of in plane progressive, quasi-standing or…
Stemming from the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld surface integral, the addition theorems for the spherical wave and Legendre functions, and a weighing function describing the behavior of the radial component of the normal velocity at the surface of a…
The tractor behavior of a zero-order Bessel acoustic beam acting on a fluid sphere, and emanating from a finite circular aperture (as opposed to waves of infinite extent) is demonstrated theoretically. Conditions for an attractive force…
A method based on the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld surface integral is provided, which makes it feasible to rigorously model, evaluate and compute the acoustic scattering and other mechanical effects of finite-aperture vortex beams such as the…
The near-field acoustic scattering from a sphere centered on the axis of a finite Bessel acoustic beam is derived stemming from the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction surface integral and the addition theorems for the spherical wave and…
The established way of looking at special relativity is based on Einstein postulates: the principle of relativity and the constancy of the velocity of light. In the most general geometric approach to the theory of special relativity, the…
Apr\`es avoir d\'etaill\'e les principales difficult\'es li\'ees \`a l'usinage 5 axes UGV, nous pr\'esentons un mod\`ele de repr\'esentation des trajectoires 5 axes sous forme surfacique permettant de prendre en compte des contraintes…
Experiments with acoustic waves guided along the mechanically free surface of an unconsolidated granular packed structure provide information on the elasticity of granular media at very low pressures that are naturally controlled by the…
1-Dimensional (1D) photonics crystals with and without defects have been numerically studied using efficient Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). Detailed numerical recipe of the TMM has been laid out. Dispersion relation is verified for the…
The shallow water equations without shear effects are similar to the gas dynamics equations with a polytropic equation of state. When the shear effects are taken into account, the equations contain additional evolution equations…
We propose two models of the Boltzmann equation (BGK and Fokker-Planck models) for rarefied flows of diatomic gases in vibrational non-equilibrium. These models take into account the discrete repartition of vibration energy modes, which is…
The calculus of apsidal precession frequencies of the planets is developed by means of a perturbation thecnique. A model of concentric rings (ring model), suitable for improving calculations, is introduced. Conclusive remarks concerning a…
The Random Coupling Model (RCM) has been successfully applied to predicting the statistics of currents and voltages at ports in complex electromagnetic (EM) enclosures operating in the short wavelength limit. Recent studies have extended…
We consider the effect of an array of plates or beams over a semi-infinite elastic ground on the propagation of elastic waves hitting the interface. The plates/beams are slender bodies with flexural resonances at low frequencies able to…
Radiation from magnetic and electric dipole moments is a key subject in theory of electrodynamics. Although people treat the problem thoroughly in the context of frequency domain, the problem is still not well understood in the context of…
In PT-symmetric gratings, asymmetric diffraction can be generated by modulating the ratio between imaginary and real refractive indices. In this paper, a rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) has been developed to analyze the diffraction…
This article analysis differential equations which represents damped and fractional oscillators. First, it is shown that prior to using physical quantities in fractional calculus, it is imperative that they are turned dimensionless.…
In this paper, we show that bending of spaghetti beams and columns exposed to hot steam reveals the time evolution of young modulus, the diffusion coefficient of water molecules penetrating the spaghetti, the partial Fickian behavior of…
Using 3D printing we manufactured two rodlike phononic crystals. Viewed from the top, one is a Penrose tile and the second is a quasicrystal. We explored the acoustic properties and band gaps for both in the frequency range of 5kHz to…
