Fig. 3.11. Schematic two-dimension representation of the structure of cristobalite (a crystalline form of Si02) and of vitreous Si02. Si atoms are represented by full circles, oxygen by open circles. A, B and C represent three cases of double possible equilibrium positions for the atoms of the material in the amorphous state A, transversal displacement B, longitudinal displacement C, small-angle rotation of the Si04 tetrahedron.

The effect of the collective jumps of the adspecies on their surface transfer (QCA, CM) has been treated by Tarasenko and Chumak [163]. The motion of the dimers and trimers on lattices with z — 4 and 6 was discussed. The dimer motion consists of the following steps (1) a jump of one of the adspecies with the associated change in the dimer orientation (2) a parallel transfer of the dimer relative to the line connecting its adspecies in the initial position, and (3) a longitudinal displacement of the dimer along the line connecting its atoms (1). On a lattice with z — 6 the first type of motion breaks into two cases (1) the distance between the dimer adspecies in the terminal state remains the same as that in the initial one, or (2) this distance increases. If the frequencies of the different jumps are similar to one another, then even a minor attraction between the adspecies results in a... 

The Hooke s law problem described in Section 2.5 can be revisited. Consider longitudinal waves in a homogeneous line described by x, the position of a particular point on that line, and u, the longitudinal displacement of that point from its equilibrium position. It can be shown (see Problem 5.7.1) that the displacement u obeys a one-dimensional mechanical wave equation ... 

Longitudinal Elastic Waves on a 1-D Line of Equidistant Equal Atoms. Consider next the longitudinal motion of a one-dimensional array of E equal atoms of mass M (Fig. 5.7). These atoms at rest are equidistant—that is, spaced a (meters) apart—and can interact via Hooke s law with force constant kH (N m ), but only with their nearest neighbors. Let u be the longitudinal displacement of atom n from its equilibrium position. The net Hooke s law force on atom n, due to the displacements un, un v and un +, is... 

One-Dimensional Chain with Two Kinds of Atoms a Band Gap Appears. We discuss next the one-dimensional lattice with two kinds of atoms atoms of mass M occupy the even-numbered sites, and atoms of smaller mass m occupy the odd-numbered sites. As before, there are L atoms, and the equilibrium distances between adjacent atoms are equal to a. Allow for a Hooke s law force with constant kH to act between nearest neighbors only. Let un be again the longitudinal displacement of atom n from equilibrium (Fig. 5.9). 

It is evident that efficient packing of polymer chains containing aromatic rings and carborane units requires significant longitudinal displacement of adjacent chains, unlike the situation for all-aromatic systems where little or no such displacement is observed.9... 

Figure 22. Schematic representation of the vibrational displacement describing the first (a) and the second (b) LAM modes for a molecular dimer in a-methyl,ft>-hydroxy-[oligo(oxyethylenes)]. Longitudinal displacement is presented as transverse (from ref 47 by permission of American Chemical Society).

This interpretation of the effective diffusion in terms of individual trajectories of an ensemble of particles advected by the flow and a superimposed random Brownian motion, as described by the stochastic advection equation (2.34), can be extended further. The characteristic time for molecular diffusion across the channel td L2/D gives the correlation time of the longitudinal velocity experienced by a particle. Thus the longitudinal motion can be described as a collection of independent longitudinal displacements of typical length Utd over time intervals td- Thus, for long times, t td, the effective diffusion coefficient of such random walk can be estimated as Deff (Utd)2/td U2L2/D that is consistent with (2.51) when Pe > 1. 

The introduction of the Fourier transform u K, t) of the displacement vector in equation 5 leads to the following result for longitudinal displacement modes ... 

With the same geometry with physical simulation, the model is divided into 68640 grids, 73677 nodes. Both the lateral sides and bottom are constrained by simply-supported structure, and the lateral sides are fixed for horizontal displacement, while the longitudinal displacement is allowed. Longitudinal displacement of the bottom is fixed, while the horizontal displacement is allowed. 

We consider for simplicity the displacement equivalent of the simple ID Markov chain model given in Eq. 9. We suppose that x, is now a zero-mean normally distributed random variable that represents the longitudinal displacement of the site i from its regular position on a ID lattice... 

These loads arise from interaction between the bridge and track by the shear resistance of the ballast against longitudinal displacement. Since there are upper limits of permissible stresses and relative displacements of the rails, the horizontal stiffness of piers, which prevents these limits being exceeded, had to be precalculated. 

Actual Law of Resistance Against Longitudinal Displacement of the Rails... 

As the material law of the ballast depends on several parameters, like temperature, moisture and pollution, the actual behaviour should be measured. Measuring dates of strain and relative displacement of the rail for at least three places close to a stress peak is necessary to define the law of resistance against longitudinal displacement (Fig. 4).

Substituting the physical relations (62.11) into the force equilibrium condition (62.10) with gi = 0 and considering axial (cylindrical) symmetry leads to two coupled equations for the radial and longitudinal displac ents u, and u, in cylindrical coordinates (r, z). 

The mechanical boundary conditions assume zero radial and longitudinal stresses on the external surfaces, and zero radial u,. and longitudinal displacements on the cylinder axis and at the bottom of the cylinder, that is (see Figure 62.9),...
