Time-Varying Total Stiffness Matrix of a Rigid Machine Spindle-Angular Contact Ball Bearings Assembly: Theory and Analytical/Experimental Verifications by Fawzi M.A. El-Saeidy

“…A lagrangian formulation is presented for the total dynamic stiffness and damping matrices of a rigid rotor carrying noncentral rigid disk and supported on angular contact ball bearings (ACBBs). The bearing dynamic stiffness/damping marix is derived in terms of the bearing motions (displacements/rotations) and then the principal of virtual work is used to transfer it from the bearing location to the rotor mass center to obtain the total dynamic stiffness/damping matrix. …”

Hidden monopole dark matter via axion portal and its implications for direct detection searches, beam-dump experiments, and the H0 tension by Ryuji Daido, Shu-Yu Ho, Fuminobu Takahashi

“…Then, we introduce an axion, a, connecting the hidden monopole and the standard model particles and examine the current limits and future prospects of direct dark matter searches and beam-dump experiments. We find two parameter regions around ma = O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (10) MeV, fa = O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (105) GeV and ma = O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (100) MeV, fa = O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (104) GeV where monopole dark matter and the axion are respectively within the reach of the future experiments such as PICO-500 and SHiP. …”
