The rotating lepton model (RLM), which is a 2D Bohr-type model of three gravitating rotating neutrinos, combining Newton’s gravitational law, special relativity, and the de Broglie equation of quantum mechanics, and which has already been used to model successfully quarks and the strong force in several hadrons, has been extended to 3D and to six rotating neutrinos located at the vertices of a normal triangular octahedron in order to compute the Lorentz factors, gamma, of the six neutrinos and, thus, to compute the total energy and mass of the deuteron, which is the lightest nucleus. The computation includes no adjustable parameters, and the computed deuteron mass agrees within 0.05% with the experimental mass value. This very good agreement suggests that, similarly to the strong force in hadrons, the nuclear force in nuclei can also be modeled as relativistic gravity. This implies that, via the combination of special relativity and quantum mechanics, the Newtonian gravity gets unified with the strong force, including the residual strong force. Full article

In this study, the limits of the Euler–Bernoulli theory in micromechanics are explored. Raman spectroscopy, which is extremely accurate and reliable, is employed to study the bending of a microbeam of a length of 191 μm. It is found that at the micro-scale, the Euler–Bernoulli theory remains an exact and consistent tool, and, possibly, other elasticity theories (such as micropolar theory, gradient elasticity theory, and couple stress theory) are not always required to study this phenomenon. More specifically, good correlation was achieved between the theoretical and experimental results, the former acquired via the theoretical equations and the latter obtained with the use of atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The exact predicted strain of an atomic force microscope microbeam under bending, by Euler–Bernoulli equations is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Full article

Λ-Fractional analysis was introduced to fill up the mathematical gap exhibited in fractional calculus, where the various fractional derivatives fail to fulfill the prerequisites demanded by differential topology. Nevertheless, the various advantages exhibited by the fractional derivatives, and especially their non-local character, attracted the interest of physicists, although the majority of them try to avoid it. The introduced Λ-fractional analysis can generate fractional geometry since the Λ-fractional derivatives generate differentials. The Λ-fractional analysis is introduced to mechanics to formulate non-local response problems with the demanded mathematical accuracy. Further, fractional peridynamic problems with horizon are suggested. Full article

Projectile motion is studied using fractional calculus. Specifically, a newly defined fractional derivative (the Leibniz L-derivative) and its successor (Λ-fractional derivative) are used to describe the motion of the projectile. Experimental data were analyzed in this study, and conclusions were made. The results of well-established fractional derivatives were also compared with those of L-derivative and Λ-fractional derivative, showing the many advantages of these new derivatives. Full article

Quantum characteristics of a mass-accreting oscillator are investigated using the invariant operator theory, which is a rigorous mathematical tool for unfolding quantum theory for time-dependent Hamiltonian systems. In particular, the quantum energy of the system is analyzed in detail and compared to the classical one. We focus on two particular cases; one is a linearly mass-accreting oscillator and the other is an exponentially mass-accreting one. It is confirmed that the quantum energy is in agreement with the classical one in the limit ℏ→0. We showed that not only the classical but also the quantum energy oscillates with time. It is carefully analyzed why the energy oscillates with time, and a reasonable explanation for that outcome is given. Full article

Here we describe eight new methods, arisen in the last 60 years, to study solutions of a Hamiltonian system with n degrees of freedom. The first six of them are intended for systems with small parameters or without them. The methods allow to find families of periodic solutions and families of invariant n-dimensional tori by means of analytic computation near a stationary solution, near a periodic solution and near an invariant torus, using the corresponding normal form of a Hamiltonian. Then we can continue the founded families by means of numerical computation. In a Hamiltonian system without parameters, only periodic solutions and invariant n-dimensional tori form one-parameter families. The last two methods are intended for systems with not small parameters, which do not depend on time. They allow computing sets of parameters, which guarantee the stability of some solutions for linear (method seven) and nonlinear (method eight) systems. We do not consider chaotic behaviors, but only regular ones. Full article
