Synthesis Of Mechanisms

Abstract A method for synthesizing the types of spatial as well as planar mechanisms is expressed in this paper by using the concept of phase diagram in metallurgy. The concept represented as a type synthesis technique is applied to (a) planar mechanisms with n degrees of freedom and simple loop, (b) spatial mechanisms with single degree of freedom and simple loop, to enumerate all the possible mechanisms with physically realizable kinematic pairs. Based on the technique described, a set of new reciprocating mechanisms is generated as a practical application.

Starting Point

In systems with many local degrees of freedom, high-symmetry points in the phase diagram can provide an important starting point for the investigation of their properties throughout the phase diagram. In systems with both spin and orbital (or valley) degrees of freedom such a starting point gives rise to SU(4)-symmetric models. Here we consider SU(4)-symmetric "spin'' models, corresponding to Mott phases at half-filling, i.e. the six-dimensional representation of SU(4). This may be relevant to twisted multilayer graphene. In particular, we study the SU(4) antiferromagnetic "Heisenberg'' model on the triangular lattice, both in the classical limit and in the quantum regime. Carrying out a numerical study using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), we argue that the ground state is non-magnetic. We then derive a dimer expansion of the SU(4) spin model. An exact diagonalization (ED) study of the effective dimer model suggests that the ground state breaks translation invariance, forming a valence bond solid (VBS) with a 12-site unit cell. Finally, we consider the effect of SU(4)-symmetry breaking interactions due to Hund's coupling, and argue for a possible phase transition between a VBS and a magnetically ordered state.

Bifurcation Behavior

In this paper, we investigate the asymmetric bifurcation behavior of an initially curved nanobeam accounting for Lorentz and electrostatic forces. The beam model was developed in the framework of Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, and the surface effects at the nanoscale were taken into account in the model by including the surface elasticity and the residual surface tension. Based on the Galerkin decomposition method, the model was simplified as two degrees of freedom reduced order model, from which the symmetry breaking criterion was derived. The results of our work reveal the significant surface effects on the symmetry breaking criterion for the considered nanobeam.

The description of baryons as soliton solutions of effective meson theories for three-flavor (up, down and strange) degrees of freedom is reviewed and the phenomenological implications are illuminated. In the collective approach the soliton configuration is equipped with baryon quantum numbers by canonical quantization of the coordinates describing the flavor orientation. The baryon spectrum resulting from exact diagonalization of the collective Hamiltonian is discussed. The prediction of static properties, such as the baryon magnetic moments and the Cabibbo matrix elements for semileptonic hyperon decays, are explored with regard to the influence of flavor symmetry breaking. In particular, the role of strange degrees of freedom in the nucleon is investigated for both the vector and axial vector current matrix elements. The latter are discussed extensively within the context of the proton spin puzzle. The influence of flavor symmetry breaking on the shape of the soliton is examined, and observed to cause significant deviations from flavor-covariant predictions on the baryon magnetic moments. Short range effects are incorporated by a chirally invariant inclusion of vector meson fields. These extensions are necessary for properly describing the singlet axial vector current and the neutron–proton mass difference. The effects of the vector meson excitations on baryon properties are also considered. The bound state description of hyperons and its generalization to baryons containing a heavy quark are illustrated. In the case of the Skyrme model a comparison is made between the collective quantization scheme and the bound state approach. Finally, the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model is employed to demonstrate that hyperons can be described as solitons in a microscopic theory of the quark flavor dynamics. This is explained for both the collective and the bound state approaches to strangeness.

Large Numbers

The physics of symmetry breaking in theories with strongly interacting quanta obeying infinite (quantum Boltzmann) statistics known as quons is discussed. The picture of Bose/Fermi particles as low energy excitations over nontrivial quon condensate is advocated. Using induced gravity arguments, it is demonstrated that the Planck mass in such low energy effective theory can be factorially (in number of degrees of freedom) larger than its true ultraviolet cutoff. Thus, the assumption that statistics of relevant high energy excitations is neither Bose nor Fermi but infinite can remove the hierarchy problem without necessity to introduce any artificially large numbers. Quantum mechanical model illustrating this scenario is presented.
