    Axial field from a pointed tip inside cylinder with flows

    Homework Statement Hello, I have an experimental problem that I don´t know how to express theoretically. It consists on a tip at high voltage inside an earthed cylinder, where a discharge is produced. The discharge is radial, since is the shortest distance to the wall, and produces ions, which...

    Buckling: Formula to relate Temperature increase with axial Compression

    hi, does anyone know how to find how much axial pre-compression is required so that buckling will occur after a temperature rise of 50 C°? I know the cross section of the pinned at each end copper strip (4mm x 8mm) length= 100mm E= 100 GN/m^2 Coefficient of thermal expansion is 18 x 10^-6

    Static Rotation as an Axial Vector

    If I rotate an object about an arbitrary axis, I can draw an arrow along that axis, and assign it a length proportional to the amount of rotation. I can project that arrow onto the basis of a rectangular coordinate system. The question arises, is it a vector? I can certainly transform it...

    Axial traction of a beam on support

    hello My question is rather off the usual queries concerning beams, which is maybe why I'm struggling to find a solution. If we suspend a totally rigid beam at its extremities with springs to measure forces, the springs will both indicate q x L /2. If the beam is supple, it will sag and...

    History of the Earth's Axial Tilt

    The degree of the Earth's axis has changed throughout history. If I am not mistaken, I believe that people can make very accurate estimates about the historic degrees of the Earth's axial tilt. If this is the case, then I would like ask some questions 1. What was the degree of the...

    QCD Ward Identity in Axial Gauge

    How do (offshell) QCD ward identities look like in the axial gauge? How to derive them? The standard treatment of ward identities uses BRST symmetry in the covariant gauge. I don't know where I can read about the axial gauge version of the ward identities.
