A new look at decomposition of turbulence forcing field and the structural response
Measured cross-spectrum of a turbulence field usually shows some decay in the statistical correlation in addition to convection at a characteristic velocity. It is shown that a decaying turbulence can be decomposed into frozen-pattern components thus permitting a simpler way to calculate the structural response. This procedure also provides a relationship whereby the measured input spectra can be incorporated. The theory is applied to an infinite beam which is backed on one side by a fluid filled cavity and is exposed on the other side by the turbulence excitation. The effect of the free stream velocity is also taken into consideration
Vibroacoustic response of structures and perturbation Reynolds stress near structure-turbulence interface
The interaction between a turbulent flow and certain types of structures which respond to its excitation is investigated. One-dimensional models were used to develop the basic ideas applied to a second model resembling the fuselage construction of an aircraft. In the two-dimensional case a simple membrane, with a small random variation in the membrane tension, was used. A decaying turbulence was constructed by superposing infinitely many components, each of which is convected as a frozen pattern at a different velocity. Structure-turbulence interaction results are presented in terms of the spectral densities of the structural response and the perturbation Reynolds stress in the fluid at the vicinity of the interface
Horizontal symmetry in Higgs sector of GUT with U(1)_A symmetry
In a series of papers, we pointed out that an anomalous gauge
symmetry naturally solves various problems in grand unified theories (GUTs) and
that a horizontal gauge symmetry, or , not only realizes the
unification of three generation quarks and leptons in fewer multiplets but also
solves the supersymmetric flavor problem. In this paper, we examine the
possibility that the Higgs sectors of the GUT symmetry and of the horizontal
symmetry are unified, that is, there are some Higgs fields whose vacuum
expectation values (VEVs) break both the GUT gauge symmetry and the horizontal
symmetry at the same time. Although the scale of the VEVs become too large to
suppress the flavor changing neutral current processes sufficiently, the
unification is possible. In addition, for the models, the
gauge anomaly is cancelled in the unified models without introducing additional
fields in contrast with the previous models in which the Higgs sectors are not
unified.Comment: 35 page
Gauge Coupling Unification in GUT with Anomalous U(1) Symmetry
We show that in the framework of grand unified theory (GUT) with anomalous
gauge symmetry, the success of the gauge coupling unification in the
minimal SU(5) GUT is naturally explained, even if the mass spectrum of
superheavy fields does not respect SU(5) symmetry. Because the unification
scale for most realizations of the theory becomes smaller than the usual GUT
scale, it suggests that the present level of experiments is close to that
sufficient to observe proton decay via dimension 6 operators, .Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX, to appear in Phys.Rev.Let
Stability of Spinmotive Force in Perpendicularly Magnetized Nanowires under High Magnetic Fields
Spinmotive force induced by domain wall motion in perpendicularly magnetized
nanowires is numerically demonstrated. We show that using nanowires with large
magnetic anisotropy can lead to a high stability of spinmotive force under
strong magnetic fields. We observe spinmotive force in the order of tens of
microvolt in a multilayered Co/Ni nanowire and in the order of several hundred
microvolt in a FePt nanowire; the latter is two orders of magnitude greater
than that in permalloy nanowires reported previously. The narrow structure and
low mobility of a domain wall under magnetic fields in perpendicularly
magnetized nanowires permits downsizing of spinmotive force devices.Comment: submitted to Applied Physics Letter
