  • There are two models that explain the rotation curves of galaxies: dark matter, which gives the missing contribution to the gravitational potential of the standard theory of gravity, and modified theories of gravity, according to which the gravitational potential is created by ordinary visible mass. Both models have some disadvantages. The article offers a new look at the problem of galactic rotation curves. The author suggests that the moment of inertia creates an additional gravitational potential along with the mass. The numerical simulation carried out on the example of fourteen galaxies confirms the validity of such an assumption. This approach makes it possible to explain the constancy of gas velocities outside the galactic disk without involving the hypothesis of the existence of dark matter. At the same time, the proposed approach lacks the disadvantages of modified theories of gravity, where the gravitational potential is created only by the mass of visible matter.

  • The present study deals with wave propagation in a modified couple-stress generalized thermoelastic solid under the effect of gravity and magnetic field. The problem is solved by a refined microtemperatures multi-phase-lags thermoelastic theory. The Fourier series and Laplace transforms will be used to obtain the general solution for any set of boundary conditions. Some comparisons have been shown in figures to estimate the effects of the gravity field, the magnetic field, and different theories of thermoelasticity in the presence of the hall current effect on all the physical quantities. Some particular cases of special interest have been deduced from the present investigation.

  • Considering spherically symmetric spacetimes embedded in a 5-dimensional static Lorentzian manifold, within the large distance limit of DGP model, we study null geodesic equations. We discuss possible relations of particles following the geodesics with the gravitational waves detected recently, in comparison with the electromagnetic waves propagaing in these brane spacetimes.

  • Classical earth pressure theories normally assume that ground condition remains uniform for considerable distance from the wall, and that the movement of the wall is enough to result in the development of an active pressure distribution. In the case of many low gravity walls in cut, constructed, for example, by using gabions or cribs, this is not commonly the case. In strong ground a steep temporary face will be excavated for reasons of economy, and a thin wedge of backfill will be placed behind the wall following its construetion. A designer then has the difficulty of selecting appropriate soil parameters and a reasonable method of calculating the earth pressure on the w리1. This paper starts by reviewing the existing solutions applicable to such geometry. A new silo and a wedge methods are developed for static and dynamic cases, and the results obtained from these are compared with two experimental results which more correctly mod el the geometry and strength of the wall, the fill, and the soil condition. Conclusions are drawn concerning both the magnitute and distribution of earth pressures to be supported by such walls.

  • To clarify the surface drift velocity in gravity waves. experimental data measured in a two-dimensional wave flume were compared with theoretical values predicted by the Stokes 2nd- and 5th- order theories as well as by the conduction solution or Longuet-Hinggins (1953). Relative water depth and wave height ranged 0.040.13. For a closed flume condition, Stokes 2nd-order theory gives lower values than the experimental data, and the differences increase as both relative water depth and wave height increase. Based on the observed data of the surface drift velocities, a modified Parabolic model of the return current velocity Profile has been suggested, which is Proved to fit better to the existing experimental data of mass transport velocity profiles in a closed wave flume than the models of Longuet-Hinggins (1953) and Stokes wave theories do.
