Under mechanical deformation, most materials exhibit both elastic and fluid (or plastic) responses. No existing formalism derived from microscopic principles encompasses both their fluid-like and solid-like aspects. We define the {\it…
It is shown that change in transverse momentum of a relativistic particle, crossing an accelerating cavity parallel to its axis, may be presented as an integral over trajectory, the integrand of which is proportional to the component of…
This brief paper investigates the consequences for the metric tensor of space-time when the Weyl tensor (in its conformally invariant form) and the energy-momentum tensor is specified. It is shown that, unless rather special conditions…
Bekenstein's theory of relativistic gravity is conventionally written as a bi-metric theory. The two metrics are related by a disformal transformation defined by a dynamical vector field and a scalar field. In this comment we show that the…
An important methodological problem of theoretical mechanics related to inertia is discussed. Analysis Inertia is performed in four-dimensional Minkowski space-time based on the law of conservation of energy-momentum. This approach allows…
Most of the logical objections against the classical laws of motion, as they are usually presented in textbooks, centre on the fact that defining force in terms of mass and acceleration, the first two laws are mere assertions of concepts to…
We analyze the problem of one dimensional quantum particle falling in a constant gravitational field, also known as the {\it bouncing ball}, employing a semiclassical approach known as momentous effective quantum mechanics. In this…
The quantum mechanical formalism for position and momentum of a particle in a one dimensional cyclic lattice is constructively developed. Some mathematical features characteristic of the finite dimensional Hilbert space are compared with…
To study the coupling system of space-time and Fermions, we need the explicit form of the energy-momentum tensor of spinors. The energy-momentum tensor is closely related to the tetrad frames which cannot be uniquely determined by the…
For steady-state and some other types of mechanical waves of an arbitrary form, intensity and nature, propagating in a free uniform waveguide, we present the following. Relations for the axial momentum as it directly follows from the…
During the last few years, several studies have proposed the existence of a threshold separating classical from quantum behavior of objects that is dependent on the size and mass of an object as well as being dependent on certain properties…
In this paper we present a semantic study of motion complexes (ie. of a motion verb followed by a spatial preposition). We focus on the spatial and the temporal intrinsic semantic properties of the motion verbs, on the one hand, and of the…
It is shown that in curved spacetime none of the known definitions of four-momentum correspond to the definition, in which all the system particles and fields, including fields outside matter, make an explicit contribution to the…
In this paper, we investigate the connection between the M-projective curvature tensor and other tensors. Also, we obtain the divergence of M-projective curvature tensor. A symmetry of spacetime known as M-projective collineation has been…
We consider the motion of tachyons (faster-than-light particles) in the framework of General Relativity. An important feature is the large contribution of low energy tachyons to the energy-momentum tensor. We also calculate the…
The possibility to derive an equation for the mean velocity field in turbulent flow by using classical statistical mechanics is investigated. An application of projection operator technique available in the literature is used for this…
Possible definitions for the relative momentum of identical particles are considered.
The relative classical motion of membranes is governed by an equation of the form D(hessian D separation)=riemann times separation times momentum. This is a generalization of the geodesic deviation equation and can be derived from a simple…
In a previous paper, we proposed an approach for the dynamics of 3D bodies and shells based on the use of affine tensors. This new theoretical frame is very large and the applications are not limited to the mechanics of continua. In the…
When a set of particles are moving in a potential field, two aspects are concerned: 1) the relative motion of particle in spatial domain; 2) the particle velocity variations in time domain. The difficulty on treating the systems is…
