Distinct Scaling Regimes of Energy Release Dynamics in the
نویسنده
چکیده
3 images, we show that the auroral emission events that 4 initiate equatorward of the isotropic boundary (IB) ob-5 tained from a time-dependent empirical model, have sys-6 tematically steeper power-law slopes of energy, power, 7 area and lifetime probability distributions compared to 8 the events that initiate poleward of the IB. The low-9 latitude group of events contains a distinct subpopulation 10 of substorm-scale disturbances violating the power-law 11 behavior, while the high latitude group is described by 12 nearly perfect power-law statistics over the entire range 13 of scales studied. The results obtained indicate that the 14 inner and outer portions of the plasma sheet are charac-15 terized by substantially different scaling regimes of bursty 16 energy dissipation suggestive of different physics in these 17 regions.

Mechanical properties of CNT reinforced nano-cellular polymeric nanocomposite foams
Mechanics of CNT-reinforced nano-cellular PMMA nanocomposites are investigated using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Firstly, static uniaxial stretching of bulk PMMA polymer is simulated and the results are compared with literature. Then, nano-cellular foams with different relative densities are constructed and subjected to static uniaxial stretching and obtained stress-strain cu...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Blast Initiation of Detonation Using a Two Step Chemical Kinetics Model
The effect of chemical reactions on the blast initiation of detonation in gaseous media has been investigated in this paper. Analytical method is based on the numerical solution of onedimensional reactive Euler equations. So far, analyses on the blast initiation of detonation have modeled the combustion process as a one-step chemical reaction, which follows the Arrhenius rate law. Previous stud...

In this study, a novel numerical method is proposed for determination of mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness, GIc, in multi-directional (MD) double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens using fracture properties of unidirectional DCB specimens. Two factors, β and Dc are defined to minimize the undesirable effects on strain energy release rate. β describes the difference between maximum and average...
متن کاملPerformance of extended Lagrangian schemes for molecular dynamics simulations with classical polarizable force fields and density functional theory.
Iterative energy minimization with the aim of achieving self-consistency is a common feature of Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) and classical molecular dynamics with polarizable force fields. In the former, the electronic degrees of freedom are optimized, while the latter often involves an iterative determination of induced point dipoles. The computational effort of the self-consiste...
متن کاملModeling of impact cratering in granular media
We simulate penetration of large projectiles into dry granular media using two-dimensional soft particle molecular dynamics. We systematically vary the physical parameters of the projectile (density, size, impact energy). Our results confirm the recently observed scaling of the crater depth with impact energy as observed by Uehara et al. (2003) and the effect of constant deceleration of the bal...
