The emancipation of flexoelectricity

Keat: Psychoanalysis and Human Emancipation 1
 PSYCHOANALYSIS AND HUMAN EMANCIPATION

In the Introduction I noted how Habermas presented psychoanalysis as ‘the only tangible example of a science incorporating methodical self-reflection’, and thus as a model for the general epistemological features of a critical social theory guided by the emancipatory interest in human autonomy. I will now examine his account in more detail, especially its claims about the relations between auto...

Fundamentals of flexoelectricity in solids.

The flexoelectric effect is the response of electric polarization to a mechanical strain gradient. It can be viewed as a higher-order effect with respect to piezoelectricity, which is the response of polarization to strain itself. However, at the nanoscale, where large strain gradients are expected, the flexoelectric effect becomes appreciable. Besides, in contrast to the piezoelectric effect, ...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

The solutions for the minimizers of the energy density f (q, p) = Aq2 + Bq4 + p2 + gA,B + ( ) β κ − + | | + | | ′ ′ ′ ′ q p p q q p 2 2 describe the flexoelectric effect with a flexoelectric coupling coefficient β. The order parameters q and p can be visualized as strain and polarisation, respectively. The parameter κ denotes the ratio of intrinsic length scales for q and p. We show that the st...
