Approximate solutions to Eq. 11-12 have been obtained in two forms. The first, given by Lord Rayleigh [13], is that of a series approximation. The derivation is not repeated here, but for the case of a nearly spherical meniscus, that is, r h, expansion around a deviation function led to the equation... 

We assume that there exists a function which we represent by P(0)-in recognition of the fact that it is angle dependent-which can be multiplied by the scattered intensity as predicted by the Rayleigh theory to give the correct value for i, even in the presence of interference. That is. 

Rayleigh scattering accounts for only a minor part of the extinction, except on the clearest days. It is a function of atmospheric pressure alone and... 

The deflection results for the three approaches are plotted in Figure 5-10 as a function of the ratio of the principal stiffnesses, D., /D22. which gets large as 0 decreases. Thus, the larger the D.,0 and 025. the smaller 0 becomes and hence the more inaccurate both the Rayleigh-Ritz approach and the specially orthotropic approximation become. 

The presence of D g 26 governing differential equation and the boundary conditions renders a closed-form solution impossible. That is, in analogy to both bending and buckling of a symmetric angle-ply (or anisotropic) plate, the variation in lateral displacement, 5vy, cannot be separated into a function of x alone times a function of y alone. Again, however, the Rayleigh-Ritz approach is quite useful. The expression... 

Up to this point we are still dealing with undetermined quantities, energy and wave funetion corrections at each order. The first-order equation is one equation with two unknowns. Since the solutions to the unperturbed Schrddinger equation generates a complete set of functions, the unknown first-order correction to the wave function can be expanded in these functions. This is known as Rayleigh-Schrddinger perturbation theory, and the equation in (4.32) becomes... 

Ho is the normal electronic Hamilton operator, and the perturbations are described by the operators Pi and P2, with A determining the strength. Based on an expansion in exact wave functions, Rayleigh-Schrddinger perturbation theory (section 4.8) gives the first- and second-order energy collections.

It is clear that the nematic phase exhibits a featureless Rayleigh wing and that several distinct solid phases can be formed depending on cooling rate [79]. This includes an apparently glassy phase. The vertical tick marks indicate the calculated frequencies of vibrational modes as obtained from density functional methods. 

Using the above partitioning into the Rayleigh-Schrddinger perturbation theory (RSPT) allows the perturbed reference function to be written as,... 

Combustion-generated noise is a problem in itself. However, if an acoustic wave can interact with the combustion zone, so that the heat release rate is a function of the acoustic pressure, q = f p ), then Equation 5.1.14 describes a forced oscillator, whose amplitude can potentially reach a high value. The condition for positive feedback was first stated by Rayleigh [23] ... 

HF (HF) theory is based on the idea that one takes an antisymmetrized product wavefunction and uses the variational principle to obtain the best possible approximation to the A -particle wavefunction that cannot be represented by such a single determinant. Thus, one inserts the single determinant into the Rayleigh-Ritz functional and performs a constraint variation of the orbitals. The results of the variational process are the famous HF equations that are satisfied by each of the orbitals ... 

Quasielastic (Rayleigh) scattering of the 46.5 keV Mossbauer radiation was used to examine the liquid dynamics of glycerol [245, 246] and the harmonic vibrations of the nonhydrogen atoms in polycrystalline myoglobin [247] as a function of temperature. The y-quanta emitted by the Mossbauer source are... 

We now need to add the dissipation term. A Rayleigh dissipation function will suffice for this purpose, since the hydrodynamic interactions in the.elastomer should be well screened. Let F be a matrix such that XF has elements of the form...
