A solution to this problem has been proposed (Fuh & Havner, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 427, 193-239 (1989)) by postulating that the operating slip combination is the one which corresponds to the minimum plastic spin (MPS). A comparison is made between the MPS and rate-dependent slip theories. The predictions obtained are identical for the following cases: (i) (110) loading in channel die compression (with one exception) and (ii) all the multiple slip orientations in uniaxial tension. In the case of [100] pure plane strain compression, there is agreement for the four slip-system orientations, but not when six systems are required in the MPS analysis. It is shown that the symmetry of the slip distributions called for by the MPS and rate sensitive approaches is responsible for the broad equivalence between the predictions of the two theories. In each of the examples discussed, the number of operating slip systems is determined by symmetry considerations, leading to the operation of two, four, six or eight slip-systems, rather than by the number of prescribed constraints.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.

Emendations to a proof in the general three-dimensional theory of oscillating sources of waves 对一般三维振荡波源理论中一个证明的修正

{"title":"Emendations to a proof in the general three-dimensional theory of oscillating sources of waves","authors":"M. Lighthill","doi":"10.1098/rspa.1990.0003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.1990.0003","url":null,"abstract":"Asymptotic forms far from the source region of waves generated by oscillating sources in a linear homogeneous anisotropic system were derived by a method of proof that requires emendation although the final conclusions remain unchanged. An intermediate asymptotic result, in the form of an integral over that part S+ of the whole real wavenumber surface S on which a certain inequality (related to the radiation condition) is satisfied, needs modification as described in §2; but, as shown in §3, it is the modified form that is correctly estimated as in the final conclusions. Thus the proof is given two necessary emendations that cancel out. A careful analysis in §4 of why they cancel shows that the original intermediate result regains validity if S+, besides including that part of the real wavenumber surface S on which the inequality ∂ω/∂k1 > 0 is satisfied (where ω is frequency and k1 the component of wavenumber in the direction chosen for wave estimation), is considered as being continued on the complex wavenumber surface S, beyond the curve C on which ∂ω/∂k1 = 0, in the negative pure-imaginary k1-direction. This change is required to ensure the proper application of Cauchy’s theorem. Furthermore, the removal of any discontinuity at C prevents the appearance of an additional asymptotic term that would be unavoidably associated with such a singularity. I am grateful to Professor V. A. Borovikov for stimulating me to make these necessary clarifications.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. A.

An abstract definition of a quantum mechanical switch is given that allows for the continual random fluctuations in the warm wet environment of the brain. Among several switch-like entities in the brain, I choose to focus on the sodium channel proteins. After explaining what these are, I analyse the ways in which my definition of a quantum switch can be satisfied by portions of such proteins. I calculate the perturbing effects of normal variations in temperature and electric field on the quantum state of such a portion. These are shown to be acceptable within the fluctuations allowed for by my definition. Information processing and unpredictability in the brain are discussed. The ultimate goal underlying the paper is an analysis of quantum measurement theory based on an abstract definition of the physical manifestations of consciousness. The paper is written for physicists with no prior knowledge of neurophysiology, but enough introductory material has also been included to allow neurophysiologists with no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics to follow the central arguments.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.

A distributional theory for asymptotic expansions 渐近展开式的一个分布理论

We show that the moment asymptotic expansions hold for a very wide variety of kernels such as generalized functions of rapid decay and rapid oscillations. We do not use Mellin transform techniques as done by previous authors in the field. Instead, we introduce a direct approach that not only solves the one-dimensional problems but also applies to various multidimensional integrals and oscillatory kernels as well. This approach also helps in the development of various asymptotic series arising in diverse fields of mathematics and physics. We find that the asymptotic expansions of generalized functions depend on the selection of suitable spaces of test functions. Accordingly, we have exercised special care in classifying the spaces and the distributions defined on them. Furthermore, we use the theory of topological tensor products to obtain the expansions of vector-valued distributions. We present several examples to illustrate that many classical results follow in a simple manner. For instance, we derive from our results the asymptotic expansions of certain series considered by Ramanujan.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. A.

A Burgers-type vortex was introduced along the central axis of the computational domain, and allowed to evolve in space and time. By varying the strength of the vortex and the free stream axial velocity distribution, using a previously developed Rossby number criterion as a guide, the location and size of the vortex breakdown region was controlled. While the boundaries of the vortex breakdown bubble appear to be nominally symmetric, the internal flow field is not. Consequently, the mechanisms for mixing and entrainment required to sustain the bubble region are different from those suggested by earlier axisymmetric models. Results presented in this study, for a Reynolds number of 200, are in good qualitative agreement with higher Reynolds number experimental observations, and a variety of plots have been presented to help illuminate the fluid physics.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.

Fractal control boundaries of driven oscillators and their relevance to safe engineering design 驱动振荡器的分形控制边界及其与安全工程设计的关系

The four-dimensional basin in the phase-control space spanned by {x(0), ẋ)(0), F, ω}, where F is the magnitude and ω the frequency of the excitation, will likewise acquire a fractal boundary, and we here explore the engineering significance of the control cross section corresponding, for example, to x(0) = ẋ(0) = 0. The fractal boundary in this section is a failure locus for a mechanical or electrical system subjected, while resting in its ambient equilibrium state, to a sudden pulse of excitation. We assess here the relative magnitude of the uncertainties implied by this fractal structure for the optimal escape from a universal cubic potential well. Absolute and transient basins are examined, giving control-space maps analogous to familiar pictures of the Mandelbrot set. Generalizing from this prototype study, it is argued that in engineering design, against boat capsize or earthquake damage, for example, a study of safe basins should augment, and perhaps entirely replace, conventional analysis of the steady-state attracting solutions.","PeriodicalId":20605,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.
