What causes bandgaps in periodic elastic laminates? I've been trying to find an explanation for why bandgaps can form in periodic elastic laminates but so far I haven't found a good explanation. Can anyone point me to any resources which might provide an explanation or give a good analogy between this and other areas of physics where bandgaps may occur?

This potential energy is associated with the force that binds the two atoms together.

Is the force repulsive (the atoms are pushed apart) or attractive (they are pulled together) if their separa- tion is (b) smaller and (c) larger than the equilibrium separation?arrow_forward
- Your doctor has told you to watch your weight. Of course, your weight comprises two factors, so you assume that she wants you to watch both your mass and the local value of g. Which explains why you are carrying a small mass mm on an elastic band wherever you go. Most of the time, the elastic band is stretched by a distance of 2.1 cm. However, when you have finished lunch, you go into a very tall building and take the high speed lift (or elevator depending on where you live). Soon after the doors close, you notice that the band (which has linear elastic properties) is stretched by a total distance of 3.5 cm. a) At what rate is the lift accelerating? _____ m.s−2 b) Your doctor will want to know the factor by which your weight has increased after that lunch. Suppose that you stand on scales in the lift while it is accelerating as described above. According to the scales, your weight has increased by a factor of _____ My answers are a)6.6 and b)1.67 but they're wrong.arrow_forwardThe left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200N force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug of war between Bob and Carlos.

- Your answer is partially correct. African elephants are the largest land animals. They consume approximately 10% of their body weight in food each day, which for an adult male, can be 1000 lb. of vegetation! Their diet consists mostly of grasses, bamboo, tree bark, and fruit. They also like to dine on tree leaves. To reach them, they often stand up on their hind legs and extend their trunks (see the figure). The elephant in the figure is in equilibrium. The location of the elephant's center of mass is shown, and the axis of rotation has been chosen to correspond to the hip joint. The forces in the elephant's free-body diagram are shown, and there is a static friction force between the elephant's back feet and the ground. Use the following information and calculate the magnitude of the tension in the elephant's trunk T (m = 4540 kg, FN = 'fs=133 cm, rcg = 76.0 cm, r = 229 cm).

- A suspicious physics student watches a stunt performed at an ice show. In the stunt, a performer shoots an arrow into a bale of hay (Fig. P11.24). Another performer rides on the bale of hay like a cowboy. After the arrow enters the bale, the balearrow system slides roughly 5 m along the ice. Estimate the initial speed of the arrow. Is there a trick to this stunt? FIGURE P11.24arrow_forwardA system consists of three particles, each of mass 5.00 g, located at the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides of 30.0 cm.
