Quasiresonance
The concept of quasiresonance was introduced in connection with inelastic collisions between one atom and a vibro-rotationally excited diatomic molecule. In its original form, the collisions induce…

Torsional waves in a bowed string
Bowing a string with a non-zero radius exerts a torque, which excites torsional waves. In general, torsional standing waves have higher fundamental frequencies than do transverse standing waves, and…

Rotationnal and translational waves in a bowed string
We measure and compare the rotational and transverse velocity of a bowed string. When bowed by an experienced player, the torsional motion is phase-locked to the transverse waves, producing highly…

Shear Instabilities in Granular Flows down on Inclined Plane
Instabilities at interface of two stream granular flows have been reported in recent experiment [1] that breaking waves can form at the interface between two streams of identical grains flowing on an…

Covariant Thermodynamics of an Object with Finite Volume
A covariant way to define the relativistic entropy of a finite object has been proposed. The energy-momentum of an object with finite volume is not a covariant physical entity because of the…

The Faraday induction law in relativity theory
We analyze the transformation properties of Faraday law in an empty space and its relationship with Maxwell equations. In our analysis we express the Faraday law via the four-potential of…

The Normalization Problem of Special Relativity
For the special theory of relativity, the normalization problem is formulated as the question how observers in constant relative motion may reach an agreement on space and time scales. As the…

Electromagnetic Field Particles in the Classical Theory
This simple analysis shows that photon-like particles are not strange within the conceptual framework of the classical electromagnetic field theory. Circular polarized waves lead to photons. Thus,…

On the Nature of the Relativity Principle
We discuss the nature and a general formulation of the relativity principle and we show that it can be justified starting from a strictly operational point of view. We give some remark on the…

Commentary on `The Three-Dimensional Current and Surface Wave Equations' by George Mellor
The lowest order sigma-transformed momentum equation given by Mellor (J. Phys. Oceangr. 2003) takes into account a phase-averaged wave forcing based on Airy wave theory. This equation is shown to be…

Angular momentum of the electromagnetic field: the plane wave paradox resolved
The angular momentum of a classical electromagnetic plane wave of arbitrary extent is predicted to be, on theoretical grounds, exactly zero. However, finite sections of circularly polarized plane…
