We hereby report on the incorporation of negative stiffness oscillators realized through Euler buckled beams within vibrating multilayered sandwich structures. Such devices have been extensively investigated as single degree freedom isolation mechanisms when mechanical grounding is available. It worth exploring influences implementing such continuous structures given their interesting nonlinear...

The effects of post-deposition annealing on optical and electrical properties of thermallyevaporated ITO/Ag/ITO films have been investigated. The thickness of ITO, Ag and ITO films in the multilayered structure was constant at 50, 10 and 40 nm. The multilayered films were deposited on glass substrate without intentional substrate heating. A significant variation in resistivity and transparency ...

The emergence of the theory of dynamic neural computing has made it possible to develop neural learning and adaptive schemes that can be used to obtain feasible solutions to complex control problems, such as inverse kinematic control for robotic systems. In this paper, such a neural learning scheme using a multilayered dynamic neural network (MDNN) is proposed. The basic dynamic computing eleme...

A general mathematical basis is developed for computation of the pulsed-gradient spin-echo signal attenuated due to restricted diffusion in multilayered structures (e.g., multiple slabs, cylindrical or spherical shells). Individual layers are characterized by (different) diffusion coefficients and relaxation times, while boundaries between adjacent layers are characterized by (different) permea...

The characteristics of dielectric backed planar conducting layers of arbitrarily shaped in a rectangular waveguide are calculated by means of coupled integral equation technique (CIET) which accurately takes higher order mode interactions. Equivalent structures for the accurate analysis whole structure are introduced in which magnetic surface currents are identified as the unknowns at the apert...
