The kinetic battery model is a popular model of the dynamic behavior of a conventional battery, useful to predict or optimize the time until battery depletion. The model however lacks certain obvious aspects of batteries in-the-wild,…
A charged space is a space equipped with two distinct base points. Such spaces arise as the unreduced suspension of an unbased space. More generally, one can work in the fiberwise setting over a fixed space B. A fiberwise charged space over…
It has been suggested recently that knots might exist as stable soliton solutions in a simple three-dimensional classical field theory, opening up a wide range of possible applications in physics and beyond. We have re-examined and extended…
A rectangular plate modeling the deck of a suspension bridge is considered. The plate may widely oscillate, which suggests to consider models from nonlinear elasticity. The von K\'arm\'an plate model is studied, complemented with the action…
A water bridge refers to an experimental "flexible cable" made up of pure deionized water which can hang across two supports maintained with a sufficiently large voltage difference. The resulting electric fields within the deionized water…
The final purpose of this paper is to show that, by inserting a convexity constraint on the cables of a suspension bridge, the torsional instability of the deck appears at lower energy thresholds. Since this constraint is suggested by the…
The linearized stability of charged thin shell wormholes under spherically symmetric perturbations is analized. It is shown that the presence of a large value of charge provides stabilization to the system, in the sense that the constrains…
Discussed in the paper is a mixed scenario of the charged liquid surface reconstruction in the situation where the 2D surface charge density is close to its saturation value.
This note illustrates the possibility in simple loaded string models of trapping most of the system energy in a single degree of freedom for very long times, demonstrating in particular that the robustness of the trapping is enhanced by…
We analytically study a stationary free boundary problem describing a soap film bridge subjected to an electrostatic force. Starting from a cylinder that the soap film forms if its surface tension and the electrostatic force are perfectly…
In this paper we offer an alternate route for investigating soliton solutions in hydrogen-bonded chains. This is done by examining a class of systems of two coupled real scalar fields. We show that this route allows investigating several…
We address the question whether features known from quantum chromodynamics (QCD) can possibly also show up in solid-state physics. It is shown that spinless fermions of charge $e$ on a checkerboard lattice with nearest-neighbor repulsion…
The mechanical resistance of a polyethylene strand subject to tension and the way its properties are affected by the presence of a knot is studied using first-principles molecular dynamics calculations. The distribution of strain energy for…
The one-dimensional fall of a folded chain with one end suspended from a rigid support and a chain falling from a resting heap on a table is studied. Because their Lagrangians contain no explicit time dependence, the falling chains are…
An attempt of solving the equations of the movement of a newton's liquid in the cylindrical co-ordinates.
It is shown that a compound elastic structure, which displays a dynamic instability, may be designed as the union (or 'fusion') of two structures which are stable when separately analyzed. The compound elastic structure has two degrees of…
In a recent work we showed that for a Hamiltonian system with constraints, the set of constraints can be investigated in first and second class constraint chains. We show here that using this "chain by chain" method for an arbitrary system…

Scintillating crystals are used for calorimetry in several high-energy physics experiments. For some of them, performance has to be ensured in difficult operating conditions, like a high radiation environment, very large particle fluxes and…
