In the present world, energy is indispensable for maintaining the comfort level and living standard of the human. On the other hand, the energy crisis is a major problem in most of the developing countries like Bangladesh. A possible reason is that, the decreasing level of conventional energy sources and the lack of initiatives for introducing the alternative sources of energy. Moreover, the in...

We study the low temperature dynamics of a single flux line in a bulk type-II superconductor, driven by a surface current, both near and above the onset of an instability which sets in at a critical driving. We found that above the critical driving, the velocity profile of the flux line develops a discontinuity. 74.60.Ge, 02.60.Lj, 02.30.Mv Typeset using REVTEX 1 Dynamics of a driven elastic st...

Three experimental techniques, laser flash photolysis, redox catalysis, and stopped-flow, were used to investigate the variation of the oxidation rate constant of phenol in neat water with the driving force offered by a series of electron acceptors. Taking into account a result previously obtained with a low-driving force electron acceptor thus allowed scanning more than half an electron-volt d...

For a crack in a structure, the crack driving force G is the reduction of the elastic energy in the structure, associated with the crack extending per unit area. In principle, G can be calculated by solving a boundary value problem. In practice, however, such a calculation is prohibitively difficult for integrated structures of complex architectures, diverse materials and small features. The ca...

The onset of thermal convection in a finite rotating cylinder is investigated using direct numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation in a regime in which spatio-temporal complexity is observed directly after onset. The system is examined in the non-physical limit of zero centrifugal force as well as with an experimentally realizable centrifugal force...

This paper investigates the effect of driving voltage on the attachment force of an electroadhesion actuator, as the existing literature on the saturation of the adhesive force at a higher electric field is incomplete. A new type of electroadhesion actuator using normally available materials, such as aluminum foil, PVC tape and a silicone rubber sheet used for keyboard protection, has been deve...

We investigate a propagation of solitons for nonlinear Schrodinger equation under small driving force. The driving force passes the resonance. The process of scattering on the resonance leads to changing of number of solitons. After the resonance the number of solitons depends on the amplitude of the driving force. Nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) is a mathematical model for wide class of ...

This paper aims at describing the architectural model of an adaptive force-feedback for a By Wire steering wheel system. This solution uses a steering wheel to replicate the reactive torque law which allows the driver to complete a precise driving scenario or a task with the higher performances. Then, the steering wheel adapts the reactive torque to the driving scenario. Since the design of thi...

A theory of the resonance Stark effect data reported in part 1 (preceding paper in this issue) is developed. The model used involves a weak charge resonance interaction between the excited state of an electron donor *D and a vibronically broad charge-separated state D+A-, where A is an electron acceptor. The theory predicts a series of unusual higher order Stark line shapes depending primarily ...

We study the effect of a driving force F on drift and diffusion of a point Brownian particle in a tube formed by identical cylindrical compartments, which create periodic entropy barriers for the particle motion along the tube axis. The particle transport exhibits striking features: the effective mobility monotonically decreases with increasing F, and the effective diffusivity diverges as F→∞, ...
