Abstract The adhesive bond between the nozzle diffuser shell and insulation layer of solid rocket motors (SRM) is widely used due to its lightweight, simple design, easy operation. mechanism adhesive-bonded failure them a concern for designers. In this paper, simplified finite element method analysis in SRM proposed. method, shell, layer, are considered elastic. maximum Von Mises stress criteri...

This article discusses the progress made in developing a new 3D-printed continuously variable transmission (CVT) for an electric vehicle (EV) prototype competing Shell Eco-marathon battery category, global energy efficiency competition sponsored by Shell. The proposed system is composed of polymeric conic gear assembled motor axle and directly coupled to rear tire vehicle. conical shape allows ...

Turtles have the unparalleled ability to retract their heads and necks within their shell but little is known about the evolution of this trait. Extensive analysis of neck mobility in turtles using radiographs, CT scans, and morphometry reveals that basal turtles possessed less mobility in the neck relative to their extant relatives, although the anatomical prerequisites for modern mobility wer...

Abstract A quadrilateral flat-shell element is developed for analysing the deflections, stresses and natural frequencies along with their allied mode shapes of cylindrical, spherical, conical shell panels made up layered composite sandwich material. The (DKZigTS1) based on zigzag theory has seven local as well global DOF per node. concept obtaining transformation matrix used transforming action...

UNLABELLED During virion maturation, HIV-1 capsid protein assembles into a conical core containing the viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) complex, thought to be composed mainly of the viral RNA and nucleocapsid protein (NC). After infection, the viral RNA is reverse transcribed into double-stranded DNA, which is then incorporated into host chromosomes by integrase (IN) catalysis. Certain IN mutatio...

the root pulling force as well as the amount of transferred soil have not been reported quantitatively for various sugar beet types. this study was designed to measure the amounts of transferred soil from farm and estimate the root pulling force among sugar beets populations with different root shapes at harvest time. the experiment was conducted as a split plot with a randomized complete block...

Abstract In this article, axisymmetric deformations of coupled functionally graded conical shells are studied. The analytical solution is presented by using the complex hypergeometric and Legendre polynomial series. results agree closely with reference for isotropic revolution. symbolic package Mathematica commands added to article help readers search particular solutions. detailed solutions tw...

Conical shock waves are generated as sharp conical solid projectiles fly supersonically in the air. We study such conical shock waves in steady supersonic flow using isentropic Euler system. The stability of such attached conical shock waves for non-symmetrical conical projectile and non-uniform incoming supersonic flow are established. Meanwhile, the existence of the solution to the Euler syst...

Virions of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other lentiviruses contain conical cores consisting of a protein shell composed of the viral capsid protein (CA) surrounding an internal viral ribonucleoprotein complex. Although genetic studies have implicated CA in both early and late stages of the virus replication cycle, the mechanism of core disassembly following penetration of tar...
