States of quantum systems and their liftings
Let H(1), H(2) be complex Hilbert spaces, H be their Hilbert tensor product
and let tr2 be the operator of taking the partial trace of trace class
operators in H with respect to the space H(2). The operation tr2 maps states in
H (i.e. positive trace class operators in H with trace equal to one) into
states in H(1). In this paper we give the full description of mappings that are
linear right inverse to tr2. More precisely, we prove that any affine mapping
F(W) of the convex set of states in H(1) into the states in H that is right
inverse to tr2 is given by the tensor product of W with some state D in H(2).
In addition we investigate a representation of the quantum mechanical state
space by probability measures on the set of pure states and a representation --
used in the theory of stochastic Schroedinger equations -- by probability
measures on the Hilbert space. We prove that there are no affine mappings from
the state space of quantum mechanics into these spaces of probability measures.Comment: 14 page
Dissipative Heating and Thermal Fatigue Life Prediction for Structures Containing Piezoactive Layers
A coupled dynamic problem of thermo-electro-mechanics for a layered beam is formulated based on the Kirchhoff–Love hypotheses. In the case of harmonic loading, a simplified formulation is given using the single frequency approximation and the concept of complex moduli. As an example, the problem of forced vibration of a three-layer sandwich beam (aluminium alloy core covered with piezoelectric layers) with hinged ends is solved in order to investigate the accuracy and applicability of the approximate monoharmonic approach and to study the self-heating caused by the electromechanical losses in piezoactive layers and the mechanical losses in electrically passive metal layer. The thermal fatigue life was estimated assuming that the structure fails if the temperature exceeds the Curie point for piezoceramics
