Strain Energy Density and Thermodynamic Entropy as Prognostic Measures of Crack Initiation in Aluminum
… the cumulative plastic strain energy density and thermodynamic entropy generation up to crack initiation. Plastic strain energy density and thermodynamic entropy generation are evaluated to investigate whether they would be capable of providing a physical basis for fatigue life and structural risk …

Aspects of Eigenstate Thermalization
… result of the EB is that the entanglement entropy of a subsystem is its thermodynamic entropy, or, more generally, that local thermodynamics of isolated quantum sys- tems are sourced in entanglement. I discuss two sets of results: (I) a diagrammatic calculus for the EB that supports a …

Rheological properties, stochastic characteristics, and second law violations of atomic fluids in Couette flow
… owing to an ordering transition and the thermodynamic entropy production can be negative on small length and time scales due to the probabilistic nature of the system observables. Therefore, a complete characterization and study of fluid behavior is accomplished through the interplay …

Coupled dynamics of above- and below-ground interactions in the critical zone
… involving water, carbon, nitrogen, energy, and thermodynamic entropy fluxes. In addition, these processes are analyzed within a multi-species framework where different plant species coexist and share resources. Coexistence of species originates competitive and mutualistic interactions that …

Scaling of entanglement entropy in some condensed matter systems
… thesis focuses on the scaling of entanglement entropy in lower dimensions and is divided into three main parts. Chapter 2 studies the thermal reduced density matrices in fermion and spin systems on ladders. Chapter 3 studies the many-body localization phase transition in a Rokhsar-Kivelson type …
