Transmission and Conversion of Energy by Coupled Soft Gears
Akinori Awazu
Dynamical aspects of coupled deformable gears are investigated to clarify the differences of mechanical properties between the machines consist of hard materials and those of soft…
Is relaxation to equilibrium hindered by transient dissipative structures in closed systems?
Akinori Awazu, Kunihiko Kaneko
Dissipative structures are generally observed when a system relaxes from a far from equilibrium state. To address the reverse question given by the title, we investigate the relaxa…
History-dependent Maximum Static Friction and Rectification of a System with a Few Particles in a Periodic Field
A. Awazu
History-dependent maximum static friction is investigated using simple models with two and three particles in one-dimensional periodic potentials. In some situations, these systems…
Liquid-Solid Phase Transition and the Change of the Frictional Force of the System with Two particles in a Box
A. Awazu
Liquid-solid phase transition and the change of the frictional force of a system with two hard spheres in a two-dimensional rectangular box are discussed. Under controlling the pre…
Effective Dimension Transition of the Dynamics of Granular Materials in the Pipe
Akinori Awazu
Phase transition of strongly excited granular materials in 2D pipe is investigated numerically. By changing the ratio between width of the pipe and the height of the granular bed,…
