    Exploratory study of elevated-temperature tensile properties of alloys based on the intermetallic compound TiNi

    The tensile properties and oxygen contamination behavior of TiNi alloyed with aluminum, chromium, and silicon were investigated in the temperature range between 800 and 1000 K (980 and 1340 F). The alloys were significantly stronger than unalloyed TiNi and less susceptible to embrittlement than the Ti-6242 alloy

    Gravitational collapse in anti de Sitter space

    Full text link
    A numerical and analytic treatment is presented here of the evolution of initial data of the kind that was conjectured by Hertog, Horowitz and Maeda to lead to a violation of cosmic censorship. That initial data is essentially a thick domain wall connecting two regions of anti de Sitter space. The evolution results in no violation of cosmic censorship, but rather the formation of a small black hole.Comment: 9 pages, 13 figure

    Critical collapse of a massive vector field

    Full text link
    We perform numerical simulations of the critical gravitational collapse of a massive vector field. The result is that there are two critical solutions. One is equivalent to the Choptuik critical solution for a massless scalar field. The other is periodic.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

    Numerical simulation of a possible counterexample to cosmic censorship

    Full text link
    A numerical simulation is presented here of the evolution of initial data of the kind that was conjectured by Hertog, Horowitz and Maeda to be a violation of cosmic censorship. That initial data is essentially a thick domain wall connecting two regions of anti-deSitter space. The initial data has a free parameter that is the initial size of the wall. The simulation shows no violation of cosmic censorship, but rather the formation of a small black hole. The simulation described here is for a moderate wall size and leaves open the possibility that cosmic censorship might be violated for larger walls.Comment: discussion clarifie

    Choptuik scaling in six dimensions

    Full text link
    We perform numerical simulations of the critical gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field in 6 dimensions. The critical solution has discrete self-similarity. We find the critical exponent \gamma and the self-similarity period \Delta.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures RevTe

    Scale invariance and critical gravitational collapse

    Get PDF
    We examine ways to write the Choptuik critical solution as the evolution of scale invariant variables. It is shown that a system of scale invariant variables proposed by one of the authors does not evolve periodically in the Choptuik critical solution. We find a different system, based on maximal slicing. This system does evolve periodically, and may generalize to the case of axisymmetry or of no symmetry at all.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, Revtex, discussion modified to clarify presentatio
