Stress wave propagation through a 180° bend junction in a square cross-sectional bar

Jean-François Molinari, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Ghatu Subhash

Longitudinal elastic stress wave propagation through a 180° bend junction connecting two square bars is analyzed using analytical and numerical approaches and validated against experiments. The aim is to identify conditions under which the one-dimensional ...

Generation of OAM-carrying space-time wave packets with time-dependent beam radii using a coherent combination of multiple LG modes on multiple frequencies

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Zhe Zhao, Hao Song, Xinzhou Su

Space-time (ST) wave packets, in which spatial and temporal characteristics are coupled, have gained attention due to their unique propagation characteristics, such as propagation invariance and tunable group velocity in addition to their potential ability ...

Uncertainty Quantification by Multilevel Monte Carlo and Local Time-Stepping for Wave Propagation

Fabio Nobile

Because of their robustness, efficiency, and non intrusiveness, Monte Carlo methods are probably the most popular approach in uncertainty quantification for computing expected values of quantities of interest. Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) methods signific ...

Tunability of space-time wave packet carrying tunable and dynamically changing OAM value

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Hao Song, Xinzhou Su

Space-time (ST) wave packets have gained much interest due to their dynamic optical properties. Such wave packets can be generated by synthesizing frequency comb lines, each having multiple complex-weighted spatial modes, to carry dynamically changing orbi ...

Bistable nanomagnet as programmable phase inverter for spin waves

Dirk Grundler

To realize spin wave logic gates, programmable phase inverters are essential. We image using phase-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy propagating spin waves in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal consisting of dipolarly coupled magnetic nanostri ...

Magnons, worms and nanogratings in artificial magnetic quasicrystals

Sho Watanabe

Magnons (spin waves, SWs) are elementary spin excitations in magnetically ordered materials. They are the promising quanta for the transmission and processing of information. Magnons can be coupled to the electromagnetic waves utilized for the wireless com ...

Effect of Fear of Falling on Mobility Measured During Lab and Daily Activity Assessments in Parkinson’s Disease

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Atrsaei

In chronic disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), fear of falling (FOF) is associated with falls and reduced quality of life. With inertial measurement units (IMUs) and dedicated algorithms, different aspects of mobility can be obtained during supervi ...

Enhancing visual motion discrimination by desynchronizing bifocal oscillatory activity

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Roberto Felipe Salamanca Giron, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet, Martin Seeber

Visual motion discrimination involves reciprocal interactions in the alpha band between the primary visual cortex (V1) and mediotemporal areas (V5/MT). We investigated whether modulating alpha phase synchronization using individualized multisite transcrani ...

Extension of Lorentz reciprocity and Poynting theorems for spatially dispersive media with quadrupolar responses

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri

We provide a self-consistent extension of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem and the Poynting theorem for media possessing electric and magnetic dipolar and quadrupolar responses related to electric and magnetic fields and field gradients thus corresponding t ...
