Integrated Educational Project of Theoretical, Experimental, and Computational Analyses
This research demonstrates how to design an integrated capstone project by including theoretical, experimental and computational analyses of a truss bridge. The project mainly focused on leading students to approach engineering problems with various methods and to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The students applied three methods to acquire the values of stresses and deflections of members in the given truss bridge. First, they calculated the stresses and deformations theoretically. Second, they actually conducted an experiment of the truss bridge with electronic measuring equipment. Lastly, they built two simulation models with Autodesk Inventor and Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks. From the comparisons of above three methods, students were guided to the validation of assumptions of theories.Cockrell School of Engineerin
Neutron Stars with Bose-Einstein Condensation of Antikaons as MIT Bags
We investigate the properties of an antikaon in medium, regarding itas a MIT
bag. We first construct the MIT bag model for a kaon with and
in order to describe the interaction of-quarks in hyperonic matter in the
framework of the modifiedquark-meson coupling model. The coupling constant
in the density-dependent bag constant is treated
as afree parameter to reproduce the optical potential of a kaon in asymmetric
matter and all other couplings are determined by usingSU(6) symmetry and the
quark counting rule. With various values ofthe kaon potential, we calculate the
effective mass of a kaon inmedium to compare it with that of a point-like kaon.
We thencalculate the population of octet baryons, leptons and and
theequation of state for neutron star matter. The results show thatkaon
condensation in hyperonic matter is sensitive to the -quarkinteraction and
also to the way of treating the kaon. The mass andthe radius of a neutron star
are obtained by solving theTolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation.Comment: 14 figure
Structure in Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory
We show that requiring sixteen supersymmetries in quantum mechanical gauge
theory implies the existence of a web of constrained interactions. Contrary to
conventional wisdom, these constraints extend to arbitrary orders in the
momentum expansion.Comment: 22 pages, LaTe
K*{\Lambda}(1116) photoproduction and nucleon resonances
In this presentation, we report our recent studies on the
photoproduction off the proton target, using the tree-level Born approximation,
via the effective Lagrangian approach. In addition, we include the nine (three-
or four-star confirmed) nucleon resonances below the threshold
MeV, to interpret the discrepancy between the
experiment and previous theoretical studies, in the vicinity of the threshold
region. From the numerical studies, we observe that the and
play an important role for the cross-section enhancement near
the . It also turns out that, in order to reproduce the
data, we have the vector coupling constants
