Free Axisymmetric Bending Vibration Analysis of two Directional FGM Circular Nano-plate on the Elastic Foundation

In the following paper, free vibration analysis of two directional FGM circular nano-plate on the elastic medium is investigated. The elastic modulus of plate varies in both radial and thickness directions. Eringen’s theory was employed to the analysis of circular nano-plate with variation in material properties. Simultaneous variations of the material properties in the radial and transverse di...

Surface Studies of Dielectric Materials Used in Spark Gaps

Dielectric: materials commonly used as insulators in spark gaps (Lexan, Nylon, Lucite, Macor, Boron Nitride, Delrin and G-10) have been exposed to the by-products of arcs in three different spark gap experiments. The first was a 60 kV, 0.05 Caul/shot spark gap using copper-tungsten or graphite electrodes at various pressures of N2 or SF6 gas. The second was a 5-30 kV, 4-25 kA, .l-.6 Coul/shot, ...

All-dielectric metasurface circular dichroism waveplate

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a high efficient circularly polarizing dichroism waveplate (CPDW) using a Si-based all-dielectric 2Dchiral metasurface. We demonstrate that the CPDW exhibits a unique dichroism in that it functions as a transmissive quarter waveplate for one of either left-or right-handed circularly polarized incident lightand a reflective mirror for the opposite polari...

Chaotic motion of a bimetallic circular plate

Considering the effect of geometric nonlinearity and uniformly distributed time-varying temperature, the bifurcation behaviors and chaotic phenomena of a bimetallic thin circular plate are investigated. First of all, the nonlinear dynamic equation for bimetallic plate is established and further reduced to Duffing equation of harmonic parametric excitation, from which the pitchfork bifurcation p...
