We describe experiments that probe the response to a point force of 2D granular systems under a variety of conditions. Using photoelastic particles to determine forces at the grain scale, we experimentally show that disorder, packing…
An angular effective mass formalism previously introduced is used to study the density of states in warped and non-warped energy bands. Band warping may or may not increase the density-of-states effective mass. Band "corrugation," referring…
The problem of stability of saturated and non-saturated ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model is considered in terms of the one-particle Green's functions. Approximations by Edwards and Hertz and some versions of the self-consistent…
As a function of energy E, the average strength function S(E) of a doorway state is commonly assumed to be Lorentzian in shape and characterized by two parameters, the peak energy E_0 and the spreading width Gamma. The simple picture is…

We consider a non-homogeneous partially hinged rectangular plate having structural engineering applications. In order to study possible remedies for torsional instability phenomena we consider the gap function as a measure of the torsional…
We consider a model in which a collective state couples to a large number of background states. The background states can be chosen to have properties which are classically characterized as regular or chaotic. We found that the dynamical…
A sponge subjected to an increase of the outside fluid pressure expands its volume but nearly mantains its true density and thus gives way to an increase of the interstitial volume. This behaviour, not yet properly described by solid-fluid…
The intrinsic width of (multiparticle-multihole) compound states is an elusive quantity, of difficult direct access, as it is masked by damping mechanisms which control the collective response of nuclei. Through microscopic cranked shell…

The mass spectra of strange baryons in the octet family are investigated in a finite-energy QCD sum rule approach based on the Gauss-Weierstrass transform. The phenomenological form of the spectral function is saturated by the ground state…
We introduce a new functional, named gap function, which measures the torsional instability of a partially hinged rectangular plate, aiming to model the deck of a bridge. Then we test the performances of the gap function on a plate subject…

The properties of a hinged floating elastic sheet of finite length under compression are considered. Numerical continuation is used to compute spatially localized buckled states with many spatially localized folds. Both symmetric and…
Wavefunction structure is analyzed for dense interacting many-boson systems using Hamiltonian $H$, which is a sum of one-body $h(1)$ and an embedded GOE of $k$-body interaction $V(k)$ with strength $\lambda$. In the first analysis, a…

This article describes a complex network model whose weights are proportional to the difference between uniformly distributed ``fitness'' values assigned to the nodes. It is shown both analytically and experimentally that the strength…
