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?

I am stuck on this physics homework, any help would be great! If possible I also need to calculate the potential difference across C1, C2, C3, and C4.
The displacement distance of an atom around a dislocation (line defect in a crystal or grains) is called the slip or Burgers vector b and is (a)/(b) to an edge dislocation line. The slip or Burgers vector of a screw dislocation is (c)/(d) to the dislocation line. Choose either (a) or (b) and (c) or (d) to correctly finish the sentence. A. (b) perpendicular/ loodreg B. (d) perpendicular/ loodreg C. (a) parallel D. (c) parallel

Scientists have developed a clever way to measure a mass of virus using a spring. A cantilever beam in the scanning electron microscope image below is like a diving board, except that it is extremely small (a couple of micrometer). The cantilever beam with mass m can oscillate (imagine a vibrating diving board) and it can be modeled as a spring with a spring constant k. What you can measure experimentally is the frequency of oscillation of the cantilever first without the virus (f1) and after the virus had attached itself to the cantilever (f2). (a) Find the mass of virus from f1 and f2 (assume that we don’t know the spring constant k) (b) Suppose the mass of cantilever is 10.0 * 10^-16 g and a frequency of 2.00 * 10^15 Hz without the virus and 2.87 * 10^14 Hz with the virus. What is the mass of the virus?
Under certain conditions, wind blowing past a rectangular speed limit sign can cause the sign to oscillate with a frequency w. (See the figure below and the Video.) Assume that w is a function of the sign width, b, sign height, h, wind velocity, V, air density, p, and an elastic constant, k, for the supporting pole. The constant, k, has dimensions of FL. Develop a suitable set of pi terms for this problem. SPEED LIMIT 40
The Vector Product Two vectors lying in the xy-plane are given by the equations A = 8î + 2j and B = -3î + 3j. Find Āx Band verify that A x B = -B x A. SOLUTION Conceptualize Given the unit-vector notations of the vectors, think about the directions the vectors point in space. Draw them on graph paper and imagine the parallelogram for these vectors. Categorize Because we use the definition of the cross product discussed in this section, we categorize this example as an analysis problem. Write the cross product of the two vectors: AXB = Î + 2j) |i + 31 Perform the multiplication: AxB = 8i x (-31) + 8î x 3j + jx (-3î) + 2j > Use the equations for the cross product of unit vectors to evaluate the various terms: ĀXB = To verify that A × B = -B x A, evaluate Bx A: BxA = Perform the multiplication: BxA = (-31) x +(-31) x 2j + 3j × 8î + ]î x 2j Use the equations for the cross product of unit vectors evaluate the various terms: BxA = Therefore, Ax B = -B xA As an alternative method for finding…
Hello there. I’m having a very hard time understanding a concept and it’s driving me crazy.lol. I’ve had help with this problem already but I don’t understand the work that you guys completed. I was just hoping that someone could clarify why r^2 becomes just r in the attached problem. I just want to understand the work that you guys did! Thank you so much!
A high-carbon steel with a fully pearlitic microstructure was used to form a high-strength bolt (H.-C. Lee et al., J. Mater. Proc. Tech. 211, 1044 (2011)). It was found that the bolt head had an average interlamellar spacing of 257 nm whereas the average spacing in the body of the bolt was 134 nm. Assuming that dislocation pileup is the primary mechanism responsible for the strength of this alloy, what ratio of strength (or hardness) might be expected in the head and body of the bolt?
A 10-kg mass is attached to a spring having a spring constant 140 N/m. The mass is started in motion from the equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 1m/sec in the upward direction and with an applied external force of f(t) =20cost (in Newtons). The mass is in a viscous medium with a coefficient of resistance equal to 90 N – sec/m. a) Predict what will happen after a long time. Sketch the graph of the motion.
