We run molecular dynamics simulations of folded graphene sheets and present a procedure to measure the sliding friction in these systems based on the rate of decay of a damped-harmonic oscillator. This procedure allowed us to study the…

In the world of technology, one of the most important forms of friction is that of rolling friction. Yet it is one of the least studied of all the known forms of energy dissipation. In the present experiments we investigate the oscillatory…

We present a comprehensive study of the dispersion of capillary waves with finite amplitude, based on direct numerical simulations. The presented results show an increase of viscous attenuation and, consequently, a smaller frequency of…

We consider the effects of a velocity-independent friction force on cantilever damping. It is shown that this dissipation mechanism causes nonlinear effects in the cantilever vibrations. The size of the nonlinearity increases with…

We demonstrate that at long times the rate of passive scalar decay in a turbulent, or simply chaotic, flow is dominated by regions (in real space or in inverse space) where mixing is less efficient. We examine two situations. The first is…

The problem of a linear damped noisy oscillator is treated in the presence of two multiplicative sources of noise which imply a random mass and random damping. The additive noise and the noise in the damping are responsible for an influx of…

We present the results of a numerical investigation of three-dimensional decaying turbulence with statistically homogeneous and anisotropic initial conditions. We show that at large times, in the inertial range of scales: (i) isotropic…

This paper explores the exponential stability of two nonlinear wave equations coupled through their velocities. The analysis is divided into two main cases. First, we consider a system where one equation is damped, while the other…

It is shown that during expanding phases of flat homogeneous cosmologies all small enough non-linear perturbations decay exponentially. This result holds for a large class of perfect fluid equations of state, but notably not for very…

We study the energy diffusion in a chain of anharmonic oscillators where the Hamiltonian dynamics is perturbed by a local energy conserving noise. We prove that under diffusive rescaling of space-time, energy fluctuations diffuse and evolve…

In their interesting study (Ref. [1]) Hu et al have shown that for a simple "harmonium" solid model the slip-induced motion of surface atoms is close to critically damped. This result is in fact well known from studies of vibrational…

We discuss some frequency-domain criteria for the exponential stability of nonlinear feedback systems based on dissipativity theory. Applications are given to convergence rates for certain perturbations of the damped harmonic oscillator.

We establish upper bounds for the decay rate of the energy of the damped fractional wave equation when the averages of the damping coefficient on all intervals of a fixed length are bounded below. If the power of the fractional Laplacian,…

We present a theory for the damping of layer-by-layer growth oscillations in molecular beam epitaxy. The surface becomes rough on distances larger than a layer coherence length which is substantially larger than the diffusion length. The…

A free particle coupled to a heat bath can exhibit a number of thermodynamic anomalies like a negative specific heat or reentrant classicality. These low-temperature phenomena are expected to be modified at very low temperatures where…

We consider the exactly soluble Edwards-Wilkinson Model in one dimension and demonstrate explicitly, that it is possible to construct a field, that does not depend explicitly on time, such that the corresponding time dependent correlation…

Controlled time-decaying harmonic potentials decelerate the velocity of the charged particle but the particle never be trapped by this harmonic potentials. This physical phenomena changes threshold between the short range class of potential…

We study the dynamics of a mechanical oscillator with linear and cubic forces -the Duffing oscillator- subject to a feedback mechanism that allows the system to sustain autonomous periodic motion with well-defined amplitude and frequency.…

In this paper we investigate the distribution of energy between weakly coupled linear and nonlinear oscillators in a two-degree-of-freedom (2D) system. Two classes of problems are studied analytically and numerically: (1) a periodic force…

We prove diffusive behaviour of the energy fluctuations in a system of harmonic oscillators with a stochastic perturbation of the dynamics that conserves energy and momentum. The results concern pinned systems or lattice dimension $d\ge 3$,…
