Finite element analysis of laminated plates and shells, volume 1
The finite element method is used to investigate the static behavior of laminated composite flat plates and cylindrical shells. The analysis incorporates the effects of transverse shear deformation in each layer through the assumption that the normals to the undeformed layer midsurface remain straight but need not be normal to the mid-surface after deformation. A digital computer program was developed to perform the required computations. The program includes a very efficient equation solution code which permits the analysis of large size problems. The method is applied to the problem of stretching and bending of a perforated curved plate
Partition Function Zeros of a Restricted Potts Model on Lattice Strips and Effects of Boundary Conditions
We calculate the partition function of the -state Potts model
exactly for strips of the square and triangular lattices of various widths
and arbitrarily great lengths , with a variety of boundary
conditions, and with and restricted to satisfy conditions corresponding
to the ferromagnetic phase transition on the associated two-dimensional
lattices. From these calculations, in the limit , we determine
the continuous accumulation loci of the partition function zeros in
the and planes. Strips of the honeycomb lattice are also considered. We
discuss some general features of these loci.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figure
Inherent Mach-Zehnder interference with "which-way" detection for single particle scattering in one dimension
We study the coherent transport of single photon in a one-dimensional
coupled-resonator-array, "non-locally" coupled to a two-level system. Since its
inherent structure is a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, we explain the destructive
interference phenomenon of the transmission spectrums according to the effect
of which-way detection. The quantum realization of the present model is a
nano-electromechanical resonator arrays with two nearest resonators coupled to
a single spin via their attached magnetic tips. Its classical simulation is a
waveguide of coupled defected cavity array with double couplings to a side
defected cavity.Comment: 5 papges, 4 figure
The Decays to -wave Charmonium by Improved Bethe-Salpeter Approach
We re-calculate the exclusive semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of
meson to a -wave charmonium in terms of the improved Bethe-Salpeter (B-S)
approach, which is developed recently. Here the widths for the exclusive
semileptonic and nonleptonic decays, the form factors, and the charged lepton
spectrums for the semileptonic decays are precisely calculated. To test the
concerned approach by comparing with experimental measurements when the
experimental data are available, and to have comparisons with the other
approaches the results obtained by the approach and those by some approaches
else as well as the original B-S approach, which appeared in literature, are
comparatively presented and discussed.Comment: 33 pages, 5 figures, 3 table
Search for via the transition at LHCb and factory
It is interesting to study the characteristics of the whole family of
which contains two different heavy flavors. LHC and the proposed factory
provide an opportunity because a large database on the family will be
achieved. and its excited states can be identified via their decay modes.
As suggested by experimentalists, is not easy to be
clearly measured, instead, the trajectories of and occurring in
the decay of () can be unambiguously
identified, thus the measurement seems easier and more reliable, therefore this
mode is more favorable at early running stage of LHCb and the proposed
factory. In this work, we calculate the rate of
in terms of the QCD multipole-expansion and the numerical results indicate that
the experimental measurements with the luminosity of LHC and factory are
feasible.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figures and 4 tables, acceptted by SCIENCE CHINA Physics,

1+1 spectral problems arising from the Manakov-Santini system
This paper deals with the spectral problem of the Manakov Santini system. The
point Lie symmetries of the Lax pair have been identified. Several similarity
reductions arise from these symmetries. An important benefit of our procedure
is that the study of the Lax pair instead of the partial differential equations
yields the reductions of the eigenfunctions and also the spectral parameter.
Therefore, we have obtained five interesting spectral problems in 1+1
dimensions
Molecular-beam epitaxy of CrSi_2 on Si(111)
Chromium disilicide layers have been grown on Si(111) in a commercial molecular‐beam epitaxy machine. Thin layers (10 nm) exhibit two epitaxial relationships, which have been identified as CrSi_2(0001)//Si(111) with CrSi_2[1010]//Si[101], and CrSi_2(0001)//Si(111) with CrSi_2[1120]//Si[101]. The latter case represents a 30° rotation of the CrSi_2 layer about the Si surface normal relative to the former case. Thick (210 nm) layers were grown by four different techniques, and the best‐quality layer was obtained by codeposition of Cr and Si at an elevated temperature. These layers are not single crystal; the largest grains are observed in a layer grown at 825 °C and are 1–2 μm across
Structure of the Partition Function and Transfer Matrices for the Potts Model in a Magnetic Field on Lattice Strips
We determine the general structure of the partition function of the -state
Potts model in an external magnetic field, for arbitrary ,
temperature variable , and magnetic field variable , on cyclic, M\"obius,
and free strip graphs of the square (sq), triangular (tri), and honeycomb
(hc) lattices with width and arbitrarily great length . For the
cyclic case we prove that the partition function has the form ,
where denotes the lattice type, are specified
polynomials of degree in , is the corresponding
transfer matrix, and () for ,
respectively. An analogous formula is given for M\"obius strips, while only
appears for free strips. We exhibit a method for
calculating for arbitrary and give illustrative
examples. Explicit results for arbitrary are presented for
with and . We find very simple formulas
for the determinant . We also give results for
self-dual cyclic strips of the square lattice.Comment: Reference added to a relevant paper by F. Y. W
A Model of Quark and Lepton Masses I: The Neutrino Sector
If neutrinos have masses, why are they so tiny? Are these masses of the Dirac
type or of the Majorana type? We are already familiar with the mechanism of how
to obtain a tiny Majorana neutrino mass by the famous see-saw mechanism. The
question is: Can one build a model in which a tiny Dirac neutrino mass arises
in a more or less "natural" way? What would be the phenomenological
consequences of such a scenario, other than just merely reproducing the
neutrino mass patterns for the oscillation data? In this article, a systematic
and detailed analysis of a model is presented, with, as key components, the
introduction of a family symmetry as well as a new SU(2) symmetry for the
right-handed neutrinos. In particular, in addition to the calculations of light
neutrino Dirac masses, interesting phenomenological implications of the model
will be presented.Comment: 25 (single-spaced) pages, 11 figures, corrected some typos in Table

Grand unification in the minimal left-right symmetric extension of the standard model
The simplest minimal left-right symmetric extension of the standard model is
studied in the high energy limit, and some consequences of the grand
unification hypothesis are explored assuming that the parity breaking scale is
the only relevant energy between the electro-weak scale and the unification
point. While the model is shown to be compatible with the observed neutrino
phenomenology, the parity breaking scale and the heavy boson masses are
predicted to be above 10^7 TeV, quite far from the reach of nowadays
experiments. Below that scale only an almost sterile right handed neutrino is
allowed with a mass M \approx 100 TeV
