Trouton-Noble paradox revisited

An apparent paradox is obtained in all previous treatments of the Trouton-Noble experiment; there is a three-dimensional (3D) torque T in an inertial frame S in which a thin parallel-plate capacitor is moving, but there is no 3D torque T in S, the rest frame of the capacitor. Different explanations are offered for the existence of another 3D torque, which is equal in magnitude but of opposite d...

The Trouton–Noble paradox

Mechanical and electromagnetic relations involved in the Trouton–Noble paradox are analysed on the basis of special relativity theory as well as on the basis of Maxwellian electrodynamics. It is shown that the paradox only arises when not all dynamical effects associated with the moving capacitor used by Trouton and Noble are considered. Crucial for the resolution of the paradox is the fact tha...

In this paper, we extend our ideas on model transformations as functors discussed in the previous issue and embed this concept into the framework of graph transformation systems. We show that under certain restrictions of the rules model transformations by graph transformation are functors.

گرانش f(t) و شتاب کیهانی

یکی از عجیب ترین مشاهدات اخیر در کیهان شناسی نوین که تاثیر شگرفی در دیدگاه کیهان شناسان در مورد سرنوشت عالم گذاشته است این است که عالم فعلی در مقیاس بزرگ شاهد انبساطی با شتاب مثبت می باشد. اما مساله مهم در اینجا این است که هنوز برای این شتاب کیهانی یک مکانیزم نظری خوب و دقیقی پیشنهاد نشده است. همانطور که می دانیم در نسبیت عام، انحنای فضازمان نقشی اساسی بازی می کند، اما این را نیز باید متذکر شد...
