Electric Character of Strange Stars

Using the Thomas-Fermi model, we investigated the electric characteristics of a static non-magnetized strange star without crust in this paper. The exact solutions of electron number density and electric field above the quark surface are obtained. These results are useful if we are concerned about physical processes near the quark matter surfaces of strange stars.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, Published in Chinese Physics Letters, Vol.16, p.77

An approximate solution of the effective moduli on the composite thin-walled beams

This paper simplified the model and the equilibrium equations on the composite thin-walled beams. According to the boundary conditions of a cantilever beam, natural frequencies of box and circular beams in the directions of lead-lag, flapping and twisting were contrasted with those in a related reference to verify the validity of the model. An equivalent uniform solid beam whose length, cross section shape and line density were the same with those on the composite thin-walled beam was also built. By contracting and analyzing the natural frequencies of two beams, the orthogonal anisotropic effective elastic modulus expressions of composite thin-walled beams in the directions of x, y, z and twisting can be obtained. The approximate effective moduli on box and circular beams were calculated under the CUS, CAS configuration and other special layer styles. The effect of ply angel, ply thickness, the length, layer style and cross section on the effective moduli was also discussed. Finally, two calculating examples were furnished to demonstrate that much dynamic analysis on the composie beams can be made by the classic beam theory using an approximate effective modulus method

Dynamic simulation of nonlinear vibration on large horizontal axis turbine blades using a finite differential method

According to Kallesøe’s model of turbine blades, two methods were developed to solve the nonlinear vibration of blades, namely, nonlinear non-autonomous system with gravity effect and nonlinear autonomous system without gravity effect. The equations were changed into the mass and stiffness matrices using a finite difference method on the boundary conditions of cantilever beams. By the time discretion methods and the Matlab vibration toolboxes, the displacements and the phase tracks of blade tip were simulated in the directions of lead-lag, flapping and twisting. Then the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristic curves were plotted by the analysis of non-autonomous rotating turbine blades. Finally all simulation results were compared among the nonlinear system and the linear system. The nature frequencies and the convergence of the systems were also discussed

Single-photon transport and mechanical NOON state generation in microcavity optomechanics

We investigate the single-photon transport in a single-mode optical fiber coupled to an optomechanical system in the single-photon strong-coupling regime. The single-photon transmission amplitude is analytically obtained with a real-space approach and the effects of thermal noises are studied via master-equation simulations. The results provide an explicit understanding of optomechanical interaction and offer a useful guide for manipulating single photons in optomechanical systems. Based on the theoretical framework, we further propose a scheme to generate the mechanical NOON states with arbitrary phonon numbers by measuring the sideband photons. The probability for generating the NOON state with five phonons is over 0.15.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure

Effective Photon-Photon Interactions in Largely Detuned Optomechanics

We propose to realize effective beam-splitter-like and two-mode-squeezing photon-photon interactions in a strong coupling optomechanical interface by exploiting detuned driving lasers. In this interface, the transitions between the optical system and the mechanical oscillator are suppressed by the large energy offsets, therefore protecting the photon-photon interactions from mechanical dissipations. Moreover, the destructive quantum interference between the eigenmodes of the interface is capable of further reducing the effects of initial mechanical thermal occupations. The interface can serve as a universal block for photon state engineering and hybrid quantum networks in high-temperature thermal bath and without the requirement of cooling the mechanical oscillator to the ground state.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure

Experimental and theoretical analysis of microstructural evolution and deformation behaviors of CuW composites during equal channel angular pressing

CuW composites were synthesized using an equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) technique. Microstructural evolution during sintering process was investigated using both optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and their deformation mechanisms were studied using finite element analysis (FEA). Results showed severe plastic deformation of the CuW composites and effective refinement of W grains after the ECAP process. TEM observation revealed that the ECAP process resulted in lamellar bands with high densities dislocations inside the composites. Effects of extrusion temperature and extrusion angles on stress-strain relationship and sizes of deformation zones after the ECAP process were investigated both theoretically and experimentally. When the extrusion angle was 90°, a maximum equivalent stress of ~1001 MPa was obtained when the extrusion test was done at room temperature of 22 °C, and this value was lower than compression strength of the CuW composites (1105.43 MPa). The maximum equivalent strains were varied between 0.5 and 0.7. However, when the extrusion temperature was increased to 550 °C and further to 900 °C, the maximum equivalent stresses were decreased sharply, with readings of 311 MPa and 68 MPa, respectively. When the extrusion angle was increased to 135°, the maximum equivalent stresses were found to be 716.9 MPa, 208 MPa, and 32 MPa for the samples extruded at temperatures of 22 °C, 550 °C and 900 °C, respectively. Simultaneously, the maximum equivalent strains were decreased to 0.2–0.4. Furthermore, results showed that the maximum equivalent stress was located on the sample's external surface and the stress values were gradually decreased from the surface to the center of samples, and the magnitudes of plastic deformation zones at the surface were much larger than those at the central part of the sintered samples. FEA simulation results were in good agreements with experimentally measured ones
