The determination of the elastic field of an ellipsoidal inclusion, and related problems
Tập 241 Số 1226 - Trang 376-396 - 1957
J. D. Eshelby
It is supposed that a region within an isotropic elastic solid undergoes a spontaneous change of form which, if the surrounding material were absent, would be some prescribed homogeneous deformation. Because of the presence of the surrounding material stresses will be present both inside and outside the region. The resulting elastic field may be found very simply with the help of a sequenc...... hiện toàn bộ
Quantal phase factors accompanying adiabatic changes
Tập 392 Số 1802 - Trang 45-57 - 1984
Michael Berry
A quantal system in an eigenstate, slowly transported round a circuit C by varying parameters R in its Hamiltonian Ĥ(R), will acquire a geometrical phase factor exp{iγ(C)} in addition to the familiar dynamical phase factor. An explicit general formula for γ(C) is derived in terms of the spectrum and eigenstates of Ĥ(R) over a surface spanning C. If C lies near a degeneracy of Ĥ, γ(C) takes...... hiện toàn bộ
Natural evaporation from open water, bare soil and grass
Tập 193 Số 1032 - Trang 120-145 - 1948
H. L. Penman
Two theoretical approaches to evaporation from saturated surfaces are outlined, the first being on an aerodynamic basis in which evaporation is regarded as due to turbulent transport of vapour by a process of eddy diffusion, and the second being on an energy basis in which evaporation is regarded as one of the ways of degrading incoming radiation. Neither approach is new, but a combination...... hiện toàn bộ
On kinematic waves II. A theory of traffic flow on long crowded roads
Tập 229 Số 1178 - Trang 317-345 - 1955
M. J. Lighthill, G. B. Whitham
This paper uses the method of kinematic waves, developed in part I, but may be read independently. A functional relationship between flow and concentration for traffic on crowded arterial roads has been postulated for some time, and has experimental backing (§2). From this a theory of the propagation of changes in traffic distribution along these roads may be deduced (§§2, 3). The theory i...... hiện toàn bộ
A theory of the yielding and plastic flow of anisotropic metals
Tập 193 Số 1033 - Trang 281-297 - 1948
Rodney Hill
A theory is suggested which describes, on a macroscopic scale, the yielding and plastic flow of an anisotropic metal. The type of anisotropy considered is that resulting from preferred orientation. A yield criterion is postulated on general grounds which is similar in form to the Huber-Mises criterion for isotropic metals, but which contains six parameters specifying the state of anisotrop...... hiện toàn bộ
Disintegration of water drops in an electric field
Tập 280 Số 1382 - Trang 383-397 - 1964
Geoffrey Ingram Taylor
The disintegration of drops in strong electric fields is believed to play an important part in the formation of thunderstorms, at least in those parts of them where no ice crystals are present. Zeleny showed experimentally that disintegration begins as a hydrodynamical instability, but his ideas about the mechanics of the situation rest on the implicit assumption that instability occurs wh...... hiện toàn bộ
Stability of polyatomic molecules in degenerate electronic states - I—Orbital degeneracy
Tập 161 Số 905 - Trang 220-235 - 1937
H. A. Jahn, Edward Teller
In the following we investigate the conditions under which a polyatomic molecule can have a stable equilibrium configuration when its electronic state has orbital degeneracy, i. e. degeneracy not arising from the spin. We shall show that stability and degeneracy are not possible simultaneously unless the molecule is a linear one, i. e. unless all the nuclei in the equilibrium configuration...... hiện toàn bộ
The penetration of a fluid into a porous medium or Hele-Shaw cell containing a more viscous liquid
Tập 245 Số 1242 - Trang 312-329 - 1958
P. G. Saffman, Geoffrey Ingram Taylor
When a viscous fluid filling the voids in a porous medium is driven forwards by the pressure of another driving fluid, the interface between them is liable to be unstable if the driving fluid is the less viscous of the two. This condition occurs in oil fields. To describe the normal modes of small disturbances from a plane interface and their rate of growth, it is necessary to...... hiện toàn bộ
A new sensitive chemical actinometer - II. Potassium ferrioxalate as a standard chemical actinometer
Tập 235 Số 1203 - Trang 518-536 - 1956
C. G. Hatchard, C. A. Parker
The earlier experiments with potassium ferrioxalate have been extended and a detailed study has been made of the photolysis of the acidified solutions previously recommended for chemical actinometry (Parker 1953). Accurate values of quantum efficiency have been determined at twelve wavelengths between 254 and 578 m μ , and the...... hiện toàn bộ
Electromagnetic diffraction in optical systems, II. Structure of the image field in an aplanatic system
Tập 253 Số 1274 - Trang 358-379 - 1959
Ben Richards, Emil Wolf
An investigation is made of the structure of the electromagnetic field near the focus of an aplanatic system which images a point source. First the case of a linearly polarized incident field is examined and expressions are derived for the electric and magnetic vectors in the image space. Some general consequences of the formulae are then discussed. In particular the symmetry properties of...... hiện toàn bộ
