The harmonic response of a uniform infinite structure (e.g. a beam, flat plate, sandwich plate etc) to a point force or moment can usually be found in closed form by solving the corresponding wave equation. The motion of the infinite structure can then be easily understood in terms of the wave motion generated by the source. The harmonic transfer function so obtained can very easily be incorporated in an analysis to study the forced harmonic response of a finite structure to a point force when that structure is on multiple supports having elastic and inertial properties. The method has already been applied by one of the authors to determine the propagation constants of infinite periodic structures This paper shows how the concepts may be applied to finite uniform structures. As an introductory example Euler-Bernoulli beams on multiple irregular supports are studied. Harmonic responses are easily found. Both single-point and multi-point harmonic excitation can be studied wth equal facility The forced response of a single-point-excited infinite periodic beam is also demonstrated, this having application to railway lines on their flexible sleepers. Damping is easily included in the system. An example is also shown of the response of a heavily-damped sandwich piate which is stiffened at regular intervals and is excited by a line force. The superiority of chis method over other methods of analysis described.

Nonlinearities in quantum correlations of two time-like separated measurements Gharib Masouleh, Hamideh; Turgut, Sadi; Department of Physics (2021-9-10) When two time-like separated measurements are done on an observable with 3 or more eigenvalues, such as angular momentum of an spin-1 particle, the result of the measurements correlation is nonlinear in terms of the first measurement outcome while linear in the other. This thesis is the study of this nonlinearity in quantum correlation of such measurements as well as showing the results of simulation on quantum simulator qasm and experiment on the quantum computer ibmq-manila. The results confirm the non-in...
Thermal convection in the presence of a vertical magnetic field Guray, E.; Tarman, H. I. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-11-01) The interaction between thermal convection and an external uniform magnetic field in the vertical is numerically simulated within a computational domain of a horizontally periodic convective box between upper and lower rigid plates. The numerical technique is based on a spectral element method developed earlier to simulate natural thermal convection. In this work, it is extended to a magnetoconvection problem. Its main features are the use of rescaled Legendre-Lagrangian polynomial interpolants in expanding...
Singular potentials and moving boundaries in 3D Yuce, C (Elsevier BV, 2004-02-16) In this Letter, the problem of a spinless particle under the time-dependent harmonic oscillator potential and a singular potential with a moving boundary is studied in the spherical coordinates. Some transformations are used to transform the moving boundary conditions to the fixed boundary conditions. An exact solution is constructed.
Casimir energy of the massless conformal scalar field on S-2 by the point-splitting method Bayin, SS; Ozcan, M (1997-10-01) We calculate the Casimir energy of the massless conformal scalar held on the surface (S-2) of a 3 dimensional Riemann sphere by using the point-splitting, mode sum and the zeta-function renormalization methods. We also consider the half space case with both the Dirichlet and the Neumann boundary conditions. This problem is interesting since the Casimir energy could be calculated analytically by various methods, thus allowing us to compare different regularization schemes.

Numerical Solution and Stability Analysis of Transient MHD Duct Flow Tezer, Münevver (2018-11-01) This paper simulates the 2D transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a rectangular duct in terms of the velocity of the fluid and the induced magnetic field by using the radial basis function (RBF) approximation. The inhomogeneities in the Poisson’s type MHD equations are approximated using the polynomial functions (1+r) and the particular solution is found satisfying both the equations and the boundary conditions (no-slip and insulated walls). The Euler scheme is used for advancing the solution to ste...
