By Alberto Carpinteri,Giuseppe Lacidogna,Amedeo Manuello

This publication provides the correct effects of lately came upon and interdisciplinary phenomena, caused by way of neighborhood mechanical instabilities. specifically, it appears at emissions from nano-scale mechanical instabilities resembling fracture, turbulence, buckling and cavitation, focussing on vibrations on the TeraHertz frequency and Piezonuclear reactions. destiny functions for this paintings may possibly contain earthquake precursors, weather swap, strength creation and mobile biology.

A sequence of fracture experiments on normal rocks demonstrates that the TeraHertz vibrations may be able to set off fission reactions on medium weight components followed by means of neutron emissions. an analogous phenomenon looks to have happened in different diverse events, fairly within the chemical evolution of the Earth and sun method, via seismicity (rocky planets) and storms (gaseous planets). As the authors discover, those phenomena may also clarify puzzles related to the heritage of our planet, just like the ocean formation or the primordial carbon pollutants, in addition to medical mysteries, just like the so-called “cold nuclear fusion” or the right kind radio-carbon courting of natural fabrics, akin to the Turin Shroud. In biology, Piezonuclear reactions may clarify the mechanism that governs the so-called "sodium-potassium pump" and extra normally, the metabolic processes.

Scientists engaged in seismology, geophysics, geochemistry, climatology, planetology, condensed topic physics and b

iology, in addition to these all for theoretical and utilized mechanics, will all get pleasure from the leading edge paintings awarded right here in a holistic way.

Oscillations and Waves: An Introduction

Bridging lower-division physics survey classes with upper-division physics classes, Oscillations and Waves: An creation develops a unified mathematical thought of oscillations and waves in actual structures. Emphasizing physics over arithmetic, the writer contains many examples from discrete mechanical, optical, and quantum mechanical structures; non-stop gases, fluids, and elastic solids; digital circuits; and electromagnetic waves.

100 Years of Superconductivity

Even 100 years after its discovery, superconductivity keeps to carry us new surprises, from superconducting magnets utilized in MRI to quantum detectors in electronics. a hundred Years of Superconductivity offers a accomplished selection of subject matters on approximately the entire subdisciplines of superconductivity.

Research, Fabrication and Applications of Bi-2223 HTS Wires: 1 (World Scientific Series in Applications of Superconductivity and Related Phenomena)

The aim of this booklet is to hide all features of Bi-2223 superconducting wires from primary study, fabrication strategy to functions. This ebook includes many chapters written by way of exceptional specialists within the world.

The Mathematical Theory of Symmetry in Solids: Representation Theory for Point Groups and Space Groups (Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences)

This publication supplies the entire thought of the irreducible representations of the crystallographic element teams and house teams. this can be vital within the quantum-mechanical examine of a particle or quasi-particle in a molecule or crystalline good as the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a approach belong to the irreducible representations of the crowd of symmetry operations of that procedure.
