Experimental results on the fluctuations in two out of equilibrium systems S. Joubaud , P.Jop, A. Petrossyan and S.C. Laboratoire de Physique, ENS de Lyon, UMR5672 CNRS
Outline • Motivation for experiments. • Fluctuations of injected power in an harmonic oscillator. • Fluctuation Theorems for work, heat and total entropy. • Injected power in the stochastic resonance • Conclusions
Experimental study of Fluctuations in Mechanical Systems Motivation • Study of thermodynamics laws in weakly out of equlibrium systems.For example the application of Fluctuation Dissipation Theorem (FDT) in aging materials • Applications of fluctuation theorems to estimate thermal losses in these systems. • Estimate the reversible and irreversible part of the work done by an external force on the system. Check the hypothesis done to prove FT Test in experiments the analytical and numerical studies on FT What is the good variable to look at ?

FT for total entropy FT for total entropy
Conclusions • We have experimentally perturbed an harmonic oscillator very close to equilibrium. • We have computed and measured the finite time corrections for SSFT and TFT. • The ‘’ trajectory dependent entropy ‘’ has been computed • We have checked that for the total entropy SSFT is verified for all times. • We have shown that in this specific example the ‘’total entropy’’ takes into account only the entropy produced by the external driving and does not take into account the entropy fluctuations at equilibrium.

Conclusions • We have experimentally investigated the powerinjected in a bistable colloidal system by an external oscillatingforce. • We find that the injected power in the stochastic resonanceregime presents a maximum when the frequency of the driving forcecorresponds to half of the Kramers' rate. • SSFT is valid for a non-linear potential. • We have shown that FT rapidly converge to the asymptotic value for rather small n. • The fact that for the total entropy is notsatisfied exactly for small n is certainly due to statisticaland numerical inaccuracy.
