Mesoscale Quantization and Self-Organized Stability
Randall D. Peters
In the world of technology, one of the most important forms of friction is that of rolling friction. Yet it is one of the least studied of all the known forms of energy dissipation…
Spreadsheet Filtering by FFT Gaussian-based Convolution
Randall D. Peters
Filtering of digital signals is accomplished on an Excel spreadsheet using fast Fourier transform (FFT) convolution in which the kernel is either a Gaussian or a cosine modulated G…
Postulated Mesoscale Quantum of Internal Friction Hysteresis
Randall D. Peters
Evidence is provided, from yet another experiment, for the existence of a mesoscale quantum of internal friction hysteresis, having the value of the electron rest energy divided by…
Study of Friction at the Mesoscale using Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy
Randall D. Peters
Elastic and dissipative properties of a NiTi shape memory alloy have been studied in both the martensite and austenite phases, using the free-decay of a vibrating Nitinol wire. The…
Friction as Basis for a Phonon Maser
Randall D. Peters
Evidence is provided from experiment, for the hypothesis that defect organization (internal friction) is a means for operation of a phonon maser.
Constant-Force-Magnitude Chaotic Oscillator
Randall D. Peters, Tajhid A. Robinson
A numerical model is presented for a mechanical oscillator in which the magnitude of the restoring force is constant. Unlike the harmonic oscillator, where force is proportional to…
