ABSTRACTDimensional cross-over behavior of Anderson localization is presented. By delineating the physical basis of localization, it is shown that the localization phenomenon is sensitive to the spatial dimension of the randomness. Analytic and numerical results demonstrate that in an anisotropically random medium there is a critical amount of anisotropy which separates the system behavior into a ID-like regime and a 3D-like regime. Dimensional crossover is proposed as a viable experimental approach to observe the mobility edge.

AbstractIt has been shown recently that the backscattering of wave propagation in one-dimensional disordered media can be entirely suppressed for normal incidence by adding sample-specific gain and loss components to the medium. Here, we study the Anderson localization behaviors of electromagnetic waves in such gain-loss balanced random non-Hermitian systems when the waves are obliquely incident on the random media. We also study the case of normal incidence when the sample-specific gain-loss profile is slightly altered so that the Anderson localization occurs. Our results show that the Anderson localization in the non-Hermitian system behaves differently from random Hermitian systems in which the backscattering is suppressed.

The effects of a local blade crack and the group arrangement on the mode localization in a rotating turbodisc are studied in this paper. Periodically coupled Euler—Bernoulli beams are used to approximate the grouped and shrouded turboblades. A two-span beam with a torsion spring is used to model the cracked blade. The crack depth characterizes the stiffness of the assumed torsion spring. Galerkin's method is applied to formulate the localization equations of the grouped turbodisc system. Numerical results indicate that the crack depth, crack distribution and rotational speed in a rotating grouped blade disc may significantly affect the localization phenomenon.

A combined analytical and experimental approach is introduced to estimate the dynamic response of complex systems from a limited number of measurements. The method is based on the concept that modal information is sufficient to extrapolate the complete map of the response from experimental data through the reconstruction of modal loads. The capabilities of the algorithm are first verified via well-controlled lab experiments on a thin-walled aluminium-rotor blade. Numerical results from a comprehensive UH-60 multibody model are then compared with available experimental data. Significant improvements in the accuracy of the predicted results are achieved when simple airloads models are employed as inputs.

We study the Anderson Localization effect on the shear viscosity in a system with random medium by Kubo formula. We show that this effect can reduce the shear viscosity nonperturbatively. Then we discuss its possible implementation in heavy-ion collisions, where the created heavy bound states or other collective modes may play the role of the random scatterer underlying Anderson Localization effect.
