Holographic entanglement of purification for thermofield double states and thermal quench
We explore the properties of holographic entanglement of purification (EoP)
for two disjoint strips in the Schwarzschild-AdS black brane and the Vaidya-AdS
black brane spacetimes. For two given strips on the same boundary of
Schwarzschild-AdS spacetime, there is an upper bound of the separation beyond
which the holographic EoP will always vanish no matter how wide the strips are.
In the case that two strips are in the two boundaries of the spacetime
respectively, we find that the holographic EoP exists only when the strips are
wide enough. If the width is finite, the EoP can be nonzero in a finite time
region. For thermal quench case, we find that the equilibrium time of
holographic EoP is only sensitive to the width of strips, while that of the
holographic mutual information is sensitive not only to the width of strips but
also to their separation.Comment: 23 pages, 12 figures, major correction of section
Creep modeling of asperities on joint surface and its effect on joint surface stiffness
Creep of the asperities on joint surface will change the stiffness characteristics of joint surface. Based on creep mechanics, a novel creep model of asperities between two rough surfaces is established from a microscopic point of view in this paper. The change of joint stiffness caused by creep of asperities under constant pre-tightening force is analyzed. The results show that the creep of the asperities leads to the increase of the stiffness of the joint surface with the increase of time when the joint force is constant. Moreover, the influence of key parameters of joint surface on creep of asperities is further studied. It is found that the change rate of joint stiffness increases with the increase of initial contact distance and contact area. According to the proposed creep model and the findings in this paper, more accurate stiffness characteristics of joint surface can be achieved for analysis of dynamic and static characteristics of structures with time
