Cross-shaped twisting structure using SMA-based smart soft composite

General floorplanning with L-shaped, T-shaped and soft blocks based on bounded slicing grid structure

| A new method of non-slicing oorplanning is proposed, which is based on the new representation for non-slicing oorplans proposed by [1], called bounded slicing grid(BSG) structure. We developed a new greedy algorithm based on the BSG structure, running in linear time, to select the alternative shape for each soft block so as to minimize the overall area for general oorplan, including non-slici...

Analysis of SMA hybrid composite structures using commercial codes

A thermomechanical model for shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators and SMA hybrid composite (SMAHC) structures has been recently implemented in the commercial finite element codes MSC.Nastran and ABAQUS. The model may be easily implemented in any code that has the capability for analysis of laminated composite structures with temperature dependent material properties. The model is also relatively ...

Soft lithography using acryloxy perfluoropolyether composite stamps.

This paper describes composite patterning elements that use a commercially available acryloxy perfluoropolyether (a-PFPE) in various soft lithographic techniques, including microcontact printing, nanotransfer printing, phase-shift optical lithography, proximity field nanopatterning, molecular scale soft nanoimprinting, and solvent assisted micromolding. The a-PFPE material, which is similar to ...

Interval Efficiency Assessment in Network Structure Based on Cross –Efficiency

As we know, in evaluating of DMUs some of them might be efficient, so ranking of them have a high significant. One of the ranking methods is cross-efficiency. Cross efficiency evaluation in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a commonly used skill for ranking decision making units (DMUs). Since, many studies ignore the intra-organizational communication and consider DMUs as a black box. For sign...
