The sol-gel transition is studied in two purely entropic models consisting of hard spheres in continuous three-dimensional space, with a fraction $p$ of nearest neighbor spheres tethered by inextensible bonds. When all the tethers are…
We extend the equations of motion that describe non-relativistic elastic collision of two particles in one dimension to an arbitrary associative algebra. Relativistic elastic collision equations turn out to be a particular case of these…
Different descriptions used to model a point-defect in an elastic continuum are reviewed. The emphasis is put on the elastic dipole approximation, which is shown to be equivalent to the infinitesimal Eshelby inclusion and to the…
Using multiple scattering theory, we derived for the first time analytical formulas for electrostrictive tensors for two dimensional metamaterial systems. The electrostrictive tensor terms are found to depend explicitly on the symmetry of…
We discuss several physical constraints imposed on elasticity parameters of a transversely isotropic (TI) tensor. There are three types of restrictions we investigate; a fundamental one of stability conditions, and two additional ones,…
The metric perturbation tensor corresponding to a transverse oscillation of spacetime is composed of products of cosines. When averaged over many wavelengths, such a metric may look either Minkowskian or Euclidean at large scales, depending…
We describe how the kinematic consistency relations satisfied by density correlations of the large-scale structures of the Universe can be derived within the usual Newtonian framework. These relations express a kinematic effect and show how…
The Nelson stochastic mechanics of inhomogeneous quantum diffusion in flat spacetime with a tensor of diffusion can be described as a homogeneous one in a Riemannian manifold where this tensor of diffusion plays the role of a metric tensor.…
Diffusive molecular dynamics is a novel model for materials with atomistic resolution that can reach diffusive time scales. The main ideas of diffusive molecular dynamics are to first minimize an approximate variational Gaussian free energy…
In classical mechanics, the motion of an object is described with Newton's three laws of motion, which means that the motion of the material elements composing a continuum can be described with the particle model. However, this viewpoint is…
For any configuration of a static plane-symmetric distribution of matter along space-time, there are coordinates where the metric can be put explicitly as a functional of the energy density and pressures. It satisfies Einstein equations as…
It is suggested, that a curved 4-dimensional space-time manifold is a strained elastic plate in multidimensional embedding space-time. Its thicknesses along extradimensions are much less than 4-dimensional sizes. Reduced 4-dimensional free…
Physical foundations for relativistic spacetimes are revisited, in order to check at what extent Finsler spacetimes lie in their framework. Arguments based on inertial observers (as in the foundations of Special Relativity and Classical…
Special relativity is reformulated as a symmetry property of space-time: Space-Time Exchange Invariance. The additional hypothesis of spatial homogeneity is then sufficient to derive the Lorentz transformation without reference to the…
This is a review of the chrono-geometrical structure of special and general relativity with a special emphasis on the role of non-inertial frames and of the conventions for the synchronization of distant clocks. ADM canonical metric and…
The derivation of the transformations between inertial frames made by Mansouri and Sexl is generalised to three dimensions for an arbitrary direction of the velocity. Assuming lenght contraction and time dilation to have their relativistic…
A physical interpretation of axioms of the differential structure of space-time is presented. Consequences of such interpretation for cosmic string's space-time with a scalar field are studied. It is shown that the assumption of smoothness…
Incompressible MHD turbulence is investigated under the presence of a uniform magnetic field $\bb0$. Such a situation is described in the correlation space by a divergence relation which expresses the statistical conservation of the…
Purpose: This essay is a retelling of general relativity in a language in which space-time geometry is expressed as a fluid. This trivial and useful reformulation gives 1) a non-perturbative covariant description of cosmological…
We revisit the classical problem of the planar Euler \emph{elastica} with applied forces and moments, and present a classification of the shapes in terms of tangentially conserved quantities associated with spatial and material symmetries.…
