We extend the use of dimensional analysis beyond the usual problems in the undergraduate curriculum to ones in particle and gravitational physics, to explore the range of its applicability, both ...
We study the precession of a Foucault pendulum using a new approach. We characterize the support anisotropy by the difference between the maximum and minimum periods of the pendulum along the ...
Ricochet motion near water surface is a common phenomenon in ocean engineering and plays a pivotal role in the design of innovative conceptual trans-media vehicles. In this study, the adaptive ...
This work characterizes the starting vortex and unsteady shear layer generated by an impulsively started National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics 0010 (NACA 0010) airfoil at angles of attack in ...
The premise that the dielectric α relaxation has a one-to-one correspondence with entropy fluctuations in equilibrium near the glass transition was experimentally verified in a systematic and ...
We present a low-phase-noise microwave control system designed for spatial-domain atom interferometers, featuring the independent outputs of three microwave channels with minimal relative phase noise ...
Compositing negative-thermal-expansion materials with Al is an effective strategy for obtaining light zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) materials. However, the dimensional stability of those composites is ...
