Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In urban areas, noise has become the main form of ''pollution'' recognized by the population. To address this major issue for society, much research has helped to describe the acoustic propagation in urban areas. However, as consequence of the high geometrical and physical complexity of urban areas, the energetic models implemented in usual predictive software limit the physical description of sound fields. It appears that fundamental work on acoustic propagation in complex environments must be pursued upstream from applications directly related to urban acoustics. In this context of upstream research, the essential idea of this work is to consider the street as an open waveguide. Indeed, the typical elongated shape promotes guided waves along the axis of the street. In contrast, the opening of this guide on an infinite domain - the sky - results in wave radiation leading to energy losses. The study of these competitive effects between guided waves and radiated waves is the key point of this work. To solve the wave equation in such an open three-dimensional guide, the principle of modal decomposition is used. In this approach, the wave field is a combination of a set of modes (called modal basis) whose contributions notably depend on end conditions at the guide extremities. The extension of the modal approach to the case of open waveguides need to introduce the concept of leaky modes. Through a preliminary study about two-dimensional closed guides with variable cross-section, the possibilities of the modal approach are apprehended in simple cases in order to be extended to the more complex case of three-dimensional open guides. Subsequently, a first work about leaky modes is done in the academic case of an open cylindrical guide with rectangular cross-section. In this work, the behavior and properties of leaky modes are studied in details when they are used in a modal approach. It is notably shown that only a small number of modes is necessary to accurately describe the field. Based on the findings of this first research, a coupled Modal-Finite Elements method, more suitable to the ''urban waveguide'' specificities is proposed. This work shows how, using PML (Perfectly Matched Layers), a new problem of propagation in closed guide may be substituted for the original problem of propagation in open guide. In this approach, several characteristics of the geometrical and physical complexity of urban areas can be taken into account. Illustrations based on the numerical implementation of the method reveal physical phenomena related to irregularities and absorption of facades, or the consideration of meteorological effects, and open both academic and applied research prospects.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une formulation multimodale de la propagation acoustique dans les guides d'ondes courbes est mise en place, et des équations différentielles matricielles sont établies pour la pression et la vitesse, ainsi qu'une équation de Riccatti pour la matrice impédance. Un calcul algébrique de la matrice de diffusion est proposé, et une comparaison de cette approche, ondulatoire, et d'une matrice de diffusion construite par une méthode de rayons est effectuée. L'Atténuation dans un coude traité en parois est enfin étudiée dans le cadre de l'approche multimodale. La seconde partie de ces travaux concerne la propagation acoustique dans un guide droit siège d'un écoulement parallèle cisaillé, en présence d'une source. La fonction de Green de l'équation de Pridmore-Brown est calculée, dont les pôles font apparaître par transformée de Fourier inverse les modes acoustiques perturbés par l'écoulement. La présence d'un spectre continu dû à la singularité de l'équation de Pridmore-Brown est également mise en évidence, et la contribution du continuum de modes hydrodynamiques correspondant est décrite.

Download or read book What is Space Time Made Of written by David Izabel and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first part of this book, the author synthesizes the main results and formulas of physics-Albert Einstein's, with general relativity, gravitational waves involving elastic deformable space-time, quantum field theory, Heisenberg's principle, and Casimir's force implying that a vacuum is not nothingness. In the second part, based on these scientific facts, the author re-studies the fundamental equation of general relativity in a weak gravitational field by unifying it with the theory of elasticity. He considers the Ligo and Virgo interferometers as strain gauges. It follows from this approach that the gravitational constant G, Einstein's constant κ, can be expressed as a function of the physical, mechanical and elastic characteristics of space-time. He overlaps these results and in particular Young's modulus of space-time, with publications obtained by renowned scientists. By imposing to satisfy the set of universal constants G, c, κ, ħ and by taking into account the vacuum data, he proposes a new quantum expression of G which is still compatible with existing serious publications. It appears that time becomes the lapse of time necessary to transmit information from one elastic sheet of space to another. Time also becomes elastic. Thus, space becomes an elastic material, with a particle size of the order of the Planck scale, a new deformable ether, therefore different from the non-existent luminiferous ether. Finally, in the third part, in appendices, the author demonstrates the fundamentals of general relativity, cosmology and the theory of elasticity.

Download or read book An Introduction to Differential Manifolds written by Jacques Lafontaine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-29 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to differential manifolds. It gives solid preliminaries for more advanced topics: Riemannian manifolds, differential topology, Lie theory. It presupposes little background: the reader is only expected to master basic differential calculus, and a little point-set topology. The book covers the main topics of differential geometry: manifolds, tangent space, vector fields, differential forms, Lie groups, and a few more sophisticated topics such as de Rham cohomology, degree theory and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for surfaces. Its ambition is to give solid foundations. In particular, the introduction of “abstract” notions such as manifolds or differential forms is motivated via questions and examples from mathematics or theoretical physics. More than 150 exercises, some of them easy and classical, some others more sophisticated, will help the beginner as well as the more expert reader. Solutions are provided for most of them. The book should be of interest to various readers: undergraduate and graduate students for a first contact to differential manifolds, mathematicians from other fields and physicists who wish to acquire some feeling about this beautiful theory. The original French text Introduction aux variétés différentielles has been a best-seller in its category in France for many years. Jacques Lafontaine was successively assistant Professor at Paris Diderot University and Professor at the University of Montpellier, where he is presently emeritus. His main research interests are Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian geometry, including some aspects of mathematical relativity. Besides his personal research articles, he was involved in several textbooks and research monographs.
