Novel method for a determination of residual stresses in orthotropic composite plates based on local displacement measurements by electronic speckle-pattern interferometry is developed and verified. The values of hole diameter increments in principal residual stress directions serves as initial experimental deformation. The technique is based on analytical solution of S.G. Lekhnitsky, which des...

We explore a possible connection between two aspects of Loop Quantum Gravity which have been extensively studied in the recent literature: the black-hole area-entropy law and the energymomentum dispersion relation. We observe that the original Bekenstein argument for the areaentropy law implicitly requires information on the energy-momentum dispersion relation. Recent results show that in first...

In the final stages of collapse, quantum radiation due to particle creation from a naked singularity is expected to be significantly different from black hole radiation. In certain models of collapse it has been shown that, neglecting the back reaction of spacetime, the particle flux on future null infinity grows as the inverse square of the distance from the Cauchy horizon. This is to be contr...

We reconsider the study of interior Schwarzschild black hole now including inverse triad quantum corrections within loop quantization. derive these and show that they are related to two parameters $\delta_b, \delta_c$ associated minimum length in radial angular directions, enter Thiemann's trick for triads. Introduction such may lead non-invariance physical results under rescaling fiducial volu...

The correlation between the maximum rotational velocity of the disk (υm) and the central stellar velocity dispersion of the bulge (σ0) offers insights into the relationship between the halo and the bulge. We have assembled integrated H I line widths and central stellar velocity dispersions to study the υm–σ0 relation for 792 galaxies spanning a broad range of Hubble types. Contrary to earlier s...

In paper 1 of this two-part series we described a three-dimensional numerical inverse model for the interpretation of cross-hole pneumatic tests in unsaturated fractured tuffs at the Apache Leap Research Site (ALRS) near Superior, Arizona. Our model is designed to analyze these data in two ways: (1) by considering pressure records from individual borehole monitoring intervals one at a time, whi...

We present detailed analytical studies on the zero-temperature coarsening dynamics in an Ising spin chain in the presence of a dynamically induced field that favors locally the "-" phase compared to the "+" phase. We show that the presence of such a local kinetic bias drives the system into a late time state with average magnetization m equal to -1. However the magnetization relaxes into this f...
