Universalities in the Avalanche Dynamics of Novelties and Non-Novelties and some Notes on the Heaps law
Filippo Santoro, Alberto Petri, Francesca Tria
Unprecedented events intertwine with the repetition of the past in natural phenomena and human activities. Key statistical patterns, such as Heaps' and Taylor's laws and Zipf's law…
Control of friction: shortcuts and optimization for the rate- and state-variable equation
Andrea Plati, Alberto Petri, Marco Baldovin
Frictional forces are a key ingredient of any physical description of the macroscopic world, as they account for the phenomena causing transformation of mechanical energy into heat…
A Markovian approach to the Prandtl-Tomlinson frictional model
Dario Lucente, Alberto Petri, Angelo Vulpiani
We consider the Prandtl-Tomlinson model in the case of a constant driving force and in the presence of thermal fluctuations. We show that the system dynamics is well reproduced by…
Hard-needle elastomer in one spatial dimension
Danilo B. Liarte, Alberto Petri, Silvio R. Salinas
We perform exact Statistical Mechanics calculations for a system of elongated objects (hard needles) that are restricted to translate along a line and rotate within a plane, and th…
Uniaxial and biaxial structures in the elastic Maier-Saupe model
Alberto Petri, Danilo B. Liarte, Silvio R. Salinas
We perform statistical mechanics calculations to analyze the global phase diagram of a fully-connected version of a Maier-Saupe-Zwanzig lattice model with the inclusion of coupling…
