We find that in BaTiO3 the phonon angular momentum is dominantly pointing in directions perpendicular to the electrical polarization. Therefore, the external electric field in ferroelectric BaTiO3 does not control only the direction of electrical polarization but also the direction of the phonon angular momentum. This finding opens up the possibility of electric field control of physical phenomena that depend on phonon angular momentum. We construct an intuitive model, based on our first-principles calculations, that captures the origin of the relationship between phonon angular momentum and electric polarization.

A mechanism of nonreciprocal transmission of sound through a viscous environment with asymmetric scatterers is proposed and experimentally demonstrated using a Tesla valve filled by stationary liquids with different viscosities. The nonreciprocal quantity is the local intensity of sound. Unlike pressure, which remains reciprocal even in a viscous fluid, the intensity exhibits nonreciprocity due to the asymmetry of the field of acoustic velocities if the mirror symmetry (P symmetry) is broken by asymmetric scatterers. Nonreciprocity in intensity appears in the linear regime of propagation, while the intensity itself scales quadratically with the amplitude of sound. Our study supports the general conclusion that Newton's dynamics of a system with broken time-reversal symmetry (T symmetry) is nonreciprocal. Due to the irreversibility of viscous fluid dynamics, the dissipation-induced nonreciprocity does not follow Onsager symmetry, unlike nonreciprocity caused by fluid motion or magnetic field.

In the competitive industrial world, the composite materials have vast scope due to its mechanical and wear characteristics like strength, hardness, toughness, wear in micron and coefficient of friction. Conventional monolithic general materials have limitations concerning recently advanced materials like composite as well as Hybrid composite materials. The innovation of hybrid metal matrix composite has become an exciting task in material science and metallurgy . Aluminum alloy composites are primarily utilized in the car and the aerospace industry due to their excellent mechanical characteristics, including greater stiffness, low density, excellent corrosion resistance, and significant wear resistance. So in the present research, Wear and frictional characteristics of aluminum alloy-based hybrid composite material has been investigated with the help of tribometer testing apparatus. Tribological behavior of LM25 reinforced with Fly ash and Alumina with a varying percentage from 4%, 8%, 12% manufactured with stir casting technique and studied. The study was planned on Taguchi's approach, and the L9 array has been used for experimentation. In this research, experiments were conducted as per ASTM-G99 standard and with pin-on-disk (POD) tribo testing machine for characterization of Hybrid metal matrix composite. The speed of disc has the most significant impact, on the wear in micron after that the Normal loads and the reinforcement percentage. The reinforcement percentage shows more effect on coefficient of friction in hybrid composite material. The SEM images shows that abrasive wear of Hybrid composite material occur during Sliding wear of specimen on Pin-on-disc apparatus. The validation of results was done with the help of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) studies with the experimental results.

Acoustic emission (AE) is a powerful experimental method for studying discrete and impulsive events termed avalanches that occur in a wide variety of materials and physical phenomena. A particular challenge is the detection of small-scale avalanches, whose associated acoustic signals are at the noise level of the experimental setup. The conventional detection approach is based on setting a threshold significantly larger than this level, ignoring “false” events with low AE amplitudes that originate from noise. At the same time, this approach overlooks small-scale events that might be true and impedes the investigation of avalanches occurring at the nanoscale, constituting the natural response of many nanoparticles and nanostructured materials. In this work, we develop a data-driven method that allows the detection of small-scale AE events, which is based on two propositions. The first includes a modification of the experimental conditions by setting a lower threshold compared to the conventional threshold, such that an abundance of small-scale events with low amplitudes are considered. Second, instead of analyzing several conventional scalar features (e.g., amplitude, duration, energy), we consider the entire waveform of each AE event and obtain an informative representation using dynamic mode decomposition. We apply the developed method to AE signals measured during the compression of platinum nanoparticles and demonstrate a significant enhancement of the detection range toward small-scale events that are below the conventional threshold.
