    The structure of ZrO2 phases and devetrification processes in a Ca-Zr-Si-O-based glass ceramic: a combined a-XRD and XAS study

    The structure of Zr atomic environment in a CaO-ZrO2-SiO2 glass-ceramic has beenstudied combining x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) andanomalous-XRD (a-XRD) techniques as a function of thermal treatments. The analysisof XRD patterns demonstrates that the devitrification process, as a function ofthermal treatment, proceeds through the partial segregation of Zr-depleted phases(Wollastonite-like) and Zr-rich phases (Zr-oxides). The XAS and a-XRD measurementsat the Zr K edge have been exploited to get a closer insight on the atomicstructure around Zr ions. In the as quenched glass the Zr is 6-fold coordinated to Oxygenatoms in an amorphous environment rich of Ca and Si. Thermal treatment firstly(T=1000 - 1050 oC) determines the partial segregation of Zr in form of oxide whichcrystalline structure is that of tetragonal Zirconia (t-ZrO2). Raising the temperature(T=1100 oC) provokes the formation of ZrO2 crystallites in the monoclinic crystallographicphase (Baddeleyite: m-ZrO2). The analysis of XAS data demonstrates that aconsiderable amount of Zr still remains in an amorphous Calcium-Silicate phase

    Investigation of asymmetrical shaft power increase during ship maneuvers by means of simulation techniques

    Get PDF
    Marine propulsion plants can experience large power fluctuations during tight maneuvers, with increases of shaft torque up to and over 100% of the steady values in straight course and considerable asymmetry between internal and external shafts during turning circle. This phenomenon (studied in Viviani et al 2007a and 2007b can be of particular interest for twin screw ships propulsion systems with coupled shaftlines, in which asymmetrical loads can represent a challenge for the whole propulsion system (e.g. unique reduction gear, shaftlines, automation). A joint research has been set up in order to deeply investigate the phenomenon, by means of large scale model testing and related numerical simulations. In the present work, preliminary simulation results with different simplified automation systems and with an automation system more similar to the real one are reported, allowing to get a better insight into this complex problem

    An improved time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach for scalar \phi^4 QFT

    Full text link
    The λϕ4\lambda \phi^4 model in a finite volume is studied within a non-gaussian Hartree-Fock approximation (tdHF) both at equilibrium and out of equilibrium, with particular attention to the structure of the ground state and of certain dynamical features in the broken symmetry phase. The mean-field coupled time-dependent Schroedinger equations for the modes of the scalar field are derived and the suitable procedure to renormalize them is outlined. A further controlled gaussian approximation of our tdHF approach is used in order to study the dynamical evolution of the system from non-equilibrium initial conditions characterized by a uniform condensate. We find that, during the slow rolling down, the long-wavelength quantum fluctuations do not grow to a macroscopic size but do scale with the linear size of the system, in accordance with similar results valid for the large NN approximation of the O(N) model. This behavior undermines in a precise way the gaussian approximation within our tdHF approach, which therefore appears as a viable mean to correct an unlikely feature of the standard HF factorization scheme, such as the so-called ``stopping at the spinodal line'' of the quantum fluctuations. We also study the dynamics of the system in infinite volume with particular attention to the asymptotic evolution in the broken symmetry phase. We are able to show that the fixed points of the evolution cover at most the classically metastable part of the static effective potential.Comment: Accepted for publication on Phys. Rev.

    Actions of the braid group, and new algebraic proofs of results of Dehornoy and Larue

    Full text link
    This article surveys many standard results about the braid group with emphasis on simplifying the usual algebraic proofs. We use van der Waerden's trick to illuminate the Artin-Magnus proof of the classic presentation of the algebraic mapping-class group of a punctured disc. We give a simple, new proof of the Dehornoy-Larue braid-group trichotomy, and, hence, recover the Dehornoy right-ordering of the braid group. We then turn to the Birman-Hilden theorem concerning braid-group actions on free products of cyclic groups, and the consequences derived by Perron-Vannier, and the connections with the Wada representations. We recall the very simple Crisp-Paris proof of the Birman-Hilden theorem that uses the Larue-Shpilrain technique. Studying ends of free groups permits a deeper understanding of the braid group; this gives us a generalization of the Birman-Hilden theorem. Studying Jordan curves in the punctured disc permits a still deeper understanding of the braid group; this gave Larue, in his PhD thesis, correspondingly deeper results, and, in an appendix, we recall the essence of Larue's thesis, giving simpler combinatorial proofs.Comment: 51`pages, 13 figure

    Generalized Jacobi identities and ball-box theorem for horizontally regular vector fields

    Full text link
    We consider a family of vector fields and we assume a horizontal regularity on their derivatives. We discuss the notion of commutator showing that different definitions agree. We apply our results to the proof of a ball-box theorem and Poincar\'e inequality for nonsmooth H\"ormander vector fields.Comment: arXiv admin note: material from arXiv:1106.2410v1, now three separate articles arXiv:1106.2410v2, arXiv:1201.5228, arXiv:1201.520
