In this paper, a novel foam-filled double ellipse tube (F-DET) is proposed. First, the circle and ellipse tubes with three different configurations(hollow, foam-filled, double foam-filled) are investigated under axial and oblique impact by using the nonlinear finite element code LS-DYNA. The numerical results showed that the F-DET tube has the best crashworthiness performance than tubes with ot...

In most biochemical analyses, a flow-through heating arrangement is needed to reduce the reaction time or maintain a constant temperature. A rectangular reactor is described that is constructed of aluminium, is hollow inside and is filled with silicone oil. The glass coil through which the solution flows is immersed in the silicone oil. The heater, a Peltier-effect heat pump, on one side and th...

A fibrous material is characterized by its fineness, flexibility and high length/fineness ratio it used to reduce noise in indoor rooms due their porous structure. The aim of this work focused on investigating the structure two different fibers (acrylic polyester) from analysis macrostructural parameters, such as length cross-section (solid or hollow). Furthermore, degree influence these parame...

The external morphology and internal structure of the male sexual tube of the hermit crab Micropagurus acantholepis, a member of the family Paguridae from Australian waters, is described in detail using histological thick sectioning and scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques. This is the first in-depth study of a sexual tube in the Paguroidea, a group where a remarkable number...

The majority of up-to-date conceived composite right-handed / left-handed (CRHLH) transmission lines (TL) are open configurations derived from microstrip technology. We present here a closed CRHLH architecture derived from the H10 rectangular hollow waveguide mode, which is realised in substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) technology and is thus easy to fabricate. The dispersion characteristic i...

A new numerical technique is proposed for analyzing arbitrary shaped hollow waveguides. The method is based on mathematically modelling of physical response of a system to excitation over a range of frequencies. The response amplitudes are then used to determine the resonant frequencies. The results of the numerical experiments justifying the method are presented. The method is validated by cir...
