Quantum Positioning System
Thomas B. Bahder
A quantum positioning system (QPS) is proposed that can provide a user with all four of his space-time coordinates. The user must carry a corner cube reflector, a good clock, and h…
Stress in Rotating Disks and Cylinders
Thomas B. Bahder
The solution of the classic problem of stress in a rotating elastic disk or cylinder, as solved in standard texts on elasticity theory, has two features: dynamical equations are us…
Transformation Properties of the Lagrangian and Eulerian Strain Tensors
Thomas B. Bahder
A coordinate independent derivation of the Eulerian and Lagrangian strain tensors of finite deformation theory is given based on the parallel propagator, the world function, and th…
Force on an Asymmetric Capacitor
Thomas B. Bahder, Chris Fazi
When a high voltage (~30 kV) is applied to a capacitor whose electrodes have different physical dimensions, the capacitor experiences a net force toward the smaller electrode (Bief…
Fermi Coordinates of an Observer Moving in a Circle in Minkowski Space: Apparent Behavior of Clocks
Thomas B. Bahder
Coordinate transformations are derived from global Minkowski coordinates to the Fermi coordinates of an observer moving in a circle in Minkowski space-time. The metric for the Ferm…
