True Collapse and False Collapse

نویسنده

  • Philip Pearle
چکیده

We emphasize that standard quantum theory (SQT) is incomplete because it doesn’t describe what is experimentally observed, namely events, nor does it satisfactorily define the circumstances under which events may occur. Simple models are given (all of which have the same density matrix evolution) to illustrate schemes which claim to complete SQT. It is shown how the model based upon the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) theory, in which an individual statevector undergoes “True Collapse,” gives a satisfactory description of events. It is argued that various “decoherence” based approaches, illustrated by models in which a density matrix undergoes “False Collapse,” do not satisfactorily resolve these problems of SQT.

Analysis of the Casing Collapse in Terms of Geomechanical Parameters and Solid Mechanics

Casing collapse is one of the major problems in oil fields, imposing a lot of costs on oil companies. This problem occurs not only at drilling times in some formations but also after the completion and production can lead to many problems. Analysis of the behavior of casing collapse in terms of geo-mechanics and solid mechanics could significantly meet the needs of the oil industry of Iran. In ...

COLLAPSE BEHAVIOUR OF PLATES UNDER THRUST

In line with the current research on the ultimate strength assessment of ship hull girders, careful understanding of the collapse behaviour of unstiffened plate elements within the ship hull girders is an important and necessary task. In this paper, the collapse behaviour of unstiffened plates under longitudinal and transverse thrust is studied by elastoplastic large deflection FEM and the char...

Collapse structures in Dowgonbadan region, Zagros fold- thrust belt

Allochthonous masses are common structures in Zagros fold-thrust belt. They are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. However, large allochthonous masses mapped in Dowgonbadan area in Dezful Embayment near the Mountain Front Fault (MFF) of Zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...

Collapse Problem Treatment of Gypseous Soil by Nanomaterials

Investigation of the effect of using nanomaterials for improving and Stabilizing the gypseous soil was carried out using laboratory works. The gypseous soils were collected from a site of intake in Bahar Al-Najaf and mixed with two types of nanomaterials (Nano-silica and, Nano-clay) where the nanomaterials were added in small amounts as a percent of the dry weight of the soil sample. Tests to d...

Effect of degradation on collapse margin ratio of steel moment frames

Although several studies have investigated the effect of degradation on the behavior of structures, investigations on collapse margin ratios are rare in the literature. In this study, the effect of strength and stiffness degradation on collapse capacity of steel moment frames is investigated. The aim is to determine margin of safety against collapse using a probabilistic approach. For this reas...
