Noninertial Freely Falling Frames Affected by Gravitational Tidal Forces

Gravitational Tidal Forces and Atmospheric Processes

Recent studies have revealed a relationship between variations in gravitational tidal forces and rainfall. A possible mode of interaction of the tidal forces on atmospheric processes is suggested to explain how the tidal forces which are small may induce detectable effects on atmospheric circulation, considering both synoptioscale and shortperiod processes in the atmosphere. The variability of ...

On D0 Brane Polarization by Tidal Forces

Gravitational tidal forces may induce polarization of D0 branes, in analogy to the same effects arising in the context of constant background gauge fields. Such phenomena can teach us about the correspondence between smooth curved spacetime and its underlying non-commutative structure. However, unlike polarization by gauge fields, the gravitational counterpart involves concerns regarding the cl...

Characterization of Power Transformer Electromagnetic Forces Affected by Winding Faults

Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...

Mesoscopic mechanical resonators as quantum noninertial reference frames

An atom attached to a micrometer-scale wire that is vibrating at a frequency ∼100 MHz and with displacement amplitude ∼1 nm experiences an acceleration magnitude ∼109 m s−2, approaching the surface gravity of a neutron star. As one application of such extreme noninertial forces in a mesoscopic setting, we consider a model two-path atom interferometer with one path consisting of the 100 MHz vibr...
