چکیده

We investigated the propagation of intense stress waves across silica nanofoams, with the pore size ranging from 50 nm to 1 mm and the porosity of 60%. The experimental results showed that if the pore size was relatively large, the stress wave remained localized and its energy was dissipated in narrow bands; if the pore size was below 200 nm, however, the stress wave was homogenized in a broad area and consequently, bulk distributed energy absorption was promoted and the maximum transmittedwave pressure was significantly reduced. We attribute this phenomenon to the fast condensation of the smallest pores at the wave front. The ability of nanofoams to promote widespread energy absorption may enable efficient stress-wave mitigation techniques. The classic Grady model was modified to take account for the nanopore size effect. & 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The Effect of Dynamic Permeability on Velocity and Intrinsic Attenuation of Compressional Waves in Sand

Stress waves contain useful information about the properties of porous materials; they can be recovered through different non-destructive testing methods such as crosswell, vertical seismic profile, borehole logging as well as sonic tests. In all these methods, it is crucial to assess the effects of frequency on wave attributes including velocity and intrinsic attenuation. The dependency of per...

Map-merging in Multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Process Using Two Heterogeneous Ground Robots

In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...

Improving Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Drought Tolerance by Suppressing a NF-YA Transcription Factor

The response to drought stress is a complicated process involving stress sensing, intracellular signaltransduction, and the execution of a cellular response. Transcription factors play important roles in the signaling pathways including abiotic stress. In the present study a rice NF-YA transcription factor gene was partially characterized following dehydration. Disrupting the gene via a T...
