Cosmological Redshift Caused by Head-On Collisions with CMB Photons, Not by Expansion of Space

The Big Bang model was first proposed in 1931 by Georges Lemaitre. Lemaitre and Hubble discovered a linear correlation between distances to galaxies and their redshifts. The correlation between redshifts and distances arises in all expanding models of universe as the cosmological redshift is commonly attributed to stretching of wavelengths of photons propagating through the expanding space. Fritz Zwicky suggested that the cosmological redshift could be caused by the interaction of propagating light photons with certain inherent features of the cosmos to lose a fraction of their energy. However, Zwicky did not provide any physical mechanism to support his tired light hypothesis. In this paper, we have developed the mechanism of producing cosmological redshift through head-on collision between light and CMB photons. The process of repeated energy loss of visual photons through n head-on collisions with CMB photons, constitutes a primary mechanism for producing the Cosmological redshift z. While this process results in steady reduction in the energy of visual photons, it also results in continuous increase in the number of photons in the CMB. After a head-on collision with a CMB photon, the incoming light photon, with reduced energy, keeps moving on its original path without any deflection or scattering in any way. After propagation through very large distances in the intergalactic space, all light photons will tend to lose bulk of their energy and fall into the invisible region of the spectrum. Thus, this mechanism of producing cosmological redshift through gradual energy depletion, also explains the Olbers’s paradox.

Investigations on molecular constants of the CD(X^2Π) radical and elastic collisions between ground-state C and D atoms at low temperatures

The potential energy curve of the CD（X2∏） radical is obtained using the coupled-cluster singles-doublesapproximate-triples [CCSD（T）] theory in combination with the correlation-consistent quintuple basis set augmented with diffuse functions, aug-cc-pV5Z. The potential energy curve is fitted to the Murrell-Sorbie function, which is used to determine the spectroscopic parameters. The obtained Do, De, Re, ωe, ωeXe, αe and Be values are 3.4971 eV, 3.6261 eV, 0.11197 nm, 2097.661 cm^-1, 34.6963 cm^-1, 0.2083 cm^-1 and 7.7962 cm^-1, respectively, which conform almost perfectly to the available measurements. With the potential obtained at the UCCSD（T）/aug-cc-pV5Z level of theory, a total of 24 vibrational states have been predicted for the first time when J = 0 by solving the radial Schrodinger equation of nuclear motion. The complete vibrational levels, the classical turning points, the inertial rotation constants and centrifugal distortion constants are reproduced from the CD（X2∏） potential when J = 0, and are in excellent agreement with the available measurements. The total and the various partial-wave cross sections are calculated for the elastic collisions between the ground-state C and D atoms at energies from 1.0×10^-11 to 1.0 × 10^-4 a.u. when the two atoms approach each other along the CD（X2∏） potential energy curve. Only one shape resonance is found in the total elastic cross sections, and the resonant energy is 8.36×10^-6 a.u. The results show that the shape of the total elastic cross section is mainly dominated by the s partial wave at very low temperatures. Because of the weak shape resonances coming from higher partial waves, most of them are passed into oblivion by the strong total elastic cross sections.

Elastic collisions of sulfur and hydrogen in their ground states at low temperatures and spectroscopic parameters of SH(X^2Π ) radical

This paper constructs the interaction potential of the SH（X^2∏） radical by using the coupled-cluster singlesdoubles-approximate-triples theory combining the correlation-consistent quintuple basis set augmented with the diffuse functions, aug-cc-pV5Z, in the valence range. Employing the potential, it accurately determines the spectroscopic parameters. The present De, Re, ωe, ωeχe, ae and Be values are of 3.7767eV, 0.13424nm, 2699.846 cm^-1, 47.7055 cm^-1, 0.2639cm^-1 and 9.4414 cm^-1, respectively, which are in excellent agreement with those obtained from the measure- ments. A total of 19 vibrational states has been found when J = 0 by solving the radial SchrSdinger equation of nuclear motion. The complete vibrational levels, classical turning points, initial rotation and centrifugal distortion constants when J = 0 are reported for the first time, which are in good accord with the experimental results. The total and various partial-wave cross sections are computed for the elastic collisions of sulfur and hydrogen in their ground states at low temperatures when two atoms approach each other along the SH（X^2∏） potential energy curve. Over the impact energy range from 1.0×10^-11 to 1.0×10^-4 a.u., eight shape resonances have been found in the total elastic cross sections. For each shape resonance, the resonant energy is accurately calculated. Careful investigations have pointed out that these resonances result from the 1 = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 partial-wave contributions.

Elastic Collisions in Minkowski Momentum Space with Lorentz Transformations

We reexamined the elastic collision problems in the special relativity for both one and two dimensions from a different point of view. In order to obtain the final states in the laboratory system of the collision problems, almost all textbooks in the special relativity calculated the simultaneous equations. In contrast to this, we make a detour through the center-of-mass system. The two frames of references are connected by the Lorentz transformation with the velocity of the center-of-mass. This route for obtaining the final states is easy for students to understand the collision problems. For one dimensional case, we also give an example for illustrating the states of the particles in the Minkowski momentum space, which shows the whole story of the collision.

Diagrammatic Approach for Investigating Two Dimensional Elastic Collisions in Momentum Space I: Newtonian Mechanics

We present the usefulness of the diagrammatic approach for analyzing two dimensional elastic collision in momentum space. In the mechanics course, we have two major purposes of studying the collision problems. One is that we have to obtain velocities of the two particles after the collision from initial velocities by using conservation laws of momentum and energy. The other is that we have to study two ways of looking collisions, i.e. laboratory system and center-of-mass system. For those two major purposes, we propose the diagrammatic technique. We draw two circles. One is for the center-of-mass system and the other is for the laboratory system. Drawing these two circles accomplish two major purposes. This diagrammatic technique can help us understand the collision problems quantitatively and qualitatively.

Diagrammatic Approach for Investigating Two Dimensional Elastic Collisions in Momentum Space II: Special Relativity

The diagrammatic approach to the collision problems in Newtonian mechanics is useful. We show in this article that the same technique can be applied to the case of the special relativity. The two circles play an important role in Newtonian mechanics, while in the special relativity, we need one circle and one ellipse. The circle shows the collision in the center-of-mass system. And the ellipse shows the collision in the laboratory system. These two figures give all information on two dimensional elastic collisions in the special relativity.

Elastic collisions between Si and D atoms at low temperatures and accurate analytic potential energy function and molecular constants of the SiD(X^2Π) radical

Interaction potential of the SiD（χ^2П） radical is constructed by using the CCSD（T） theory in combination with the largest correlation-consistent quintuple basis set augmented with the diffuse functions in the wlence range. Using the interaction potential, the spectroscopic parameters are accurately determined. The present Do, De, Re, ωe, αe and Be values are of 3.0956 eV, 3.1863 eV, 0.15223 nm, 1472.894 cm^-1, 0.07799 cm^-1 and 3.8717 cm^-1, respectively, which are in excellent agreement with the measurements. A total of 26 vibrational states is predicted when J = 0 by solving the radial Schroedinger equation of nuclear motion. The complete vibrational levels, classical turning points, initial rotation and centrifugal distortion constants when J = 0 are reported for the first time, which are in good accord with the available experiments. The total and various partial-wave cross sections are calculated for the elastic collisions between Si and D atoms in their ground states at 1.0× 10^-11-1.0×10^-3 a.u. when the two atoms approach each other along the SiD（χ^2П） potential energy curve. Four shape resonances are found in the total elastic cross sections, and their resonant energies are of 1.73×10^-5, 4.0×10^-5, 6.45×10^-5 and 5.5×10^-4 a.u., respectively. Each shape resonance in the total elastic cross sections is carefully investigated. The results show that the shape of the total elastic cross sections is mainly dominated by the s partial wave at very low temperatures. Because of the weakness of the shape resonances coming from the higher partial waves, most of them are passed into oblivion by the strong s partial-wave elastic cross sections.

EXACT SOLUTIONS OF NEAR CRACK LINE FIELDS FOR MODE I CRACK UNDER PLANE STRESS CONDITION IN AN ELASTIC－PERFECTLY PLASTIC SOLID

The near crack line analysis method has been used in the present paper,The classical small scale yielding conditions have been completely abandoned in the analyses and one inappropriate matching condition used to be used at the elasticplastic boundary has been corrected.The reasonable solution of the plastic stresses near the crack line region has been established.By matching the plastic stresses with the exact elastic stresses at the elastic-plastic boundary,the plastic stresses the length of the plastic zone and the unit normal vector of the elastic-plastic boundary near the crock line region have been obtained for a mode I crack under uniaxial tension,as well as a mode I crack under biaxial tension,which shows that for both conditions the plastic stress componentsσy, and σsy.he length of the plastic zone and the unit normal vector of the elastic-plastic boundary are quite the same while the plastic stress σs is different.

ELASTIC-PLASTIC FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONTACT-IMPACT AT RAIL JOINT

Using the finite element code ANSYS/LS-DYNA, a dynamic finite element modelwith an elastic-linear-kinematic-hardening plastic material is established to analyzeelastic-plastic stresses in the railhead in the impact process of wheel and rail occurring at thegap of rail joint. The model is based on the discrete elastic support condition of the rails, whichis suitable for the actual situation of wheel/track rolling contact. In the analysis the influencesof axle load, yield stress and tangent modulus of rail material on the stresses and strains areinvestigated in detail. The distribution of stresses and strains in the jointed railhead are given.It is found that the axle load, yield stress and tangent modulus of rail material greatly affect thestresses and strains in the railhead during impacting. The study provides a reliable method anduseful datum for the further research on fatigue and wear of railhead and improving the rail jointmode.

GENERAL FORM OF MATCHING EQUATION OF ELASTIC-PLASTIC FIELD NEAR CRACK LINE FOR MODE I CRACK UNDER PLANE STRESS CONDITION

Crack line field analysis method has become an independent method for crack elastic-plastic analysis, which greatly simplifies the complexity of crack elastic-plastic problems and overcomes the corresponding mathematical difficulty. With this method, the precise elastic-plastic solutions near crack lines for variety of crack problems can be obtained. But up to now all solutions obtained by this method were for different concrete problems, no general steps and no general form of matching equations near crack line are given out. With crack line analysis method, this paper proposes the general steps of elastic plastic analysis near crack line for mode I crack in elastic-perfectly plastic solids under plane stress condition, and in turn given out the solving process and result for a specific problem.

SUPER-ELASTIC CONSTITUTIVE MODEL CONSIDERING PLASTICITY AND ITS FINITE ELEMENT IMPLEMENTATION

Based on the experimental results of super-elastic NiTi alloy, a three-dimensional super-elastic constitutive model including both of stress-induced martensite transformation and plasticity is constructed in a framework of general inelasticity. In the proposed model, transformation hardening, reverse transformation of stress-induced martensite, elastic mismatch between the austenite and martensite phases, and temperature-dependence of transformation stress and elastic modulus of each phase are considered. The plastic yielding of martensite occurred under high stress is addressed by a bilinear isotropic hardening rule. Drucker-Prager-typed transformation surfaces are employed to describe the asymmetric behavior of NiTi alloy in tension and compression. The prediction capability of the proposed model is verified by comparing the simulated results with the correspondent experimental ones. Based on backward Euler＇s integration, a new expression of consistent tangent modulus is derived. The proposed model is then implemented into a finite element package ABAQUS by user-subroutine UMAT. Finally, the validity of such implementation was verified by some numerical samples.

Elastic-plastic contact force history and response characteristics of circular plate subjected to impact by a projectile

A new elastic-plastic impact-contact model is proposed in this paper. By adopting the principle of minimum acceleration for elastic-plastic continue at finite deformation, and with the aid of finite difference method, the proposed model is applied in the problem of dynamic response of a clamped thin circular plate subjected to a projectile impact centrally. The impact force history and response characteristics of the target plate is studied in detail. The theoretical predictions of the impact force and plate deflection are in good agreements with those of LDA experimental data. Linear expressions of the maximum impact force/transverse deflection versus impact velocity are given on the basis of the theoretical results.

CRACK INITIATION AND STEADY PROPAGATION OF ELASTIC-PLASTIC MATERIALS IN PLANE STRESS CONDITION

The crack tip stress-strain fields of the elastic-plastic cracked specimens have been analyzed using finite element calculations.The crack initiation and steady propagation behaviours have also been investigated by means of slip line pattern etching technique and mechanical tests. The results show that there are HRR near field and distant field in the crack tip region,and the later depends on the specimen configuration.The crack initiation behaviour is controlled by a single parameter J.In contrast,the steady crack propagation is affected by the distant strain field and can not be described by single parameter only.

A NOVEL METHOD FOR MEASURING AND CHARACTERIZING DYNAMIC FRACTURE-INITIATION TOUGHNESS OF ELASTIC-PLASTIC MATERIALS

The characterization and testing methods of the dynamic fractureinitiation toughness of elas- tic-plastic materials under tensileimpact are studied. By using the self-designed bar-bar tensile impactappa- ratus, a novel test method for studying dynamicfracture-initiation ahs been proposed based on the one-di- mensionaltest principle. The curve of average load v. s. displacement (P-δ)is smooth until unstable crack propagation, and the kinetic energywhich does not contribute to the crack growth can be removed fromtotal work done by external-force to the specimen.

Elastic-plastic analysis of antiplane crack near crack surface region

The elastic-plastic stress distribution and the elastic-plastic boundary con- figuration near a crack surface region are significant but hard to obtain by means of the conventional analysis. A crack line analysis method is developed in this paper by consid- ering the crack surface as an extension of the crack line. The stresses in the plastic zone, the length, and the unit normal vector of the elastic-plastic boundary near a crack surface region are obtained for an antiplane crack in an elastic-perfectly plastic solid. The usual small scale yielding assumptions are not needed in the analysis.

Study on magneto-elastic-plastic deformation characteristics of ferromagnetic rectangular plate with simple supports

In this paper, the magnetic-elastic-plastic deformation behavior is studied for a ferromagnetic plate with simple supports. The perturbation formula of magnetic force is first derived based on the perturbation technique, and is then applied to the analysis of deformation characteristics with emphasis laid on the analyses of modes, symmetry of deformation and influences of incident angle of applied magnetic field on the plate deformation. The theoretical analyses offer explanations why the configuration offer- romagnetic rectangular plate with simple supports under an oblique magnetic field is in-wavy type along the x-direction, and why the largest deformation of the ferromagnetic plate occurs at the incident angle of 45°for the magnetic field. A numerical code based on the finite element method is developed to simulate quantitatively behaviors of the nonlinearly coupled multi-field problem. Some characteristic curves are plotted to illustrate the magneto--elastic-plastic deflections, and to reveal how the deflections can be influenced by the incident angle of applied magnetic field. The deformation characteristics obtained from the numerical simulations are found in good agreement with the theoretical analyses.

Harten-Lax-van Leer-contact(HLLC)approximation Riemann solver with elastic waves for one-dimensional elastic-plastic problems

A Harten-Lax-van Leer-contact （HLLC） approximate Riemann solver is built with elastic waves （HLLCE） for one-dimensional elastic-plastic flows with a hypo- elastic constitutive model and the von Mises＇ yielding criterion. Based on the HLLCE, a third-order cell-centered Lagrangian scheme is built for one-dimensional elastic-plastic problems. A number of numerical experiments are carried out. The numerical results show that the proposed third-order scheme achieves the desired order of accuracy. The third-order scheme is used to the numerical solution of the problems with elastic shock waves and elastic rarefaction waves. The numerical results are compared with a reference solution and the results obtained by other authors. The comparison shows that the pre- sented high-order scheme is convergent, stable, and essentially non-oscillatory. Moreover, the HLLCE is more efficient than the two-rarefaction Riemann solver with elastic waves （TRRSE）

A NEW APPROACH OF PREDICTING BIFURCATION POINTS OF ELASTIC-PLASTIC BUCKLING OF PLATES AND SHELLS

The paper proposes a new approach of predicting the bifurcation points of elastic-plastic buckling of plates and shells,which is obtained from the natural combination of the Lyaponov's dy- namic criterion on stability and the modified adaptive Dynamic Relaxation(maDR)method developed recently by the authors.This new method can overcome the difficulties in the applications of the dy- namic criterion.Numerical results show that the theoretically predicted bifurcation points are in very good agreement with the corresponding experimental ones.The paper also provides a new means for further research on the plastic buckling paradox of plates and shells.

Laser beam effect on the entanglement of elastic collisions in quantum plasma

In the quantized field formalism, using Kramers-Henneberger unitary transformation as the semi-classical counterpart of Block-Nordsieck transformation, the dynamics of entanglement during the low energy scattering processes in bi-partite systems at the presence of a laser beam fields are studied. The stationary-state Schrodinger equation for the quantum scattering process is obtained for such systems. Then, using partial wave analysis, we introduce a new form of entanglement fidelity considering the effect of high-intensity laser beam fields. The effective potential of hot quantum plasma including plasmon and quantum screening effects is used to obtain the entanglement fidelity ratio as a function of the laser amplitude, and plasmon and Debye length parameters for the elastic electron-ion collisions. It is shown that the plasma free electrons oscillations under interaction with laser beam fields improve the correlations between charged particles and consequently lead to the increase in the system entanglement.
