This paper deals with new analytical solutions to predict tensile and in-plane shear strengths of triaxial weave fabric (TWF) composites accounting for the interaction between angularly interlacing yarns. The triaxial yarns in three directions of 0 ° and ±60 ° in micromechanical unit cell (UC) are idealized as the curved beams with a path depicted by using sinusoidal shape functions. The tensil...

Quasi-classical trajectory calculations based on a full-dimensional analytical potential energy surface have been performed at different collision energies to analyze the role of symmetric (ν1 = 1) and antisymmetric (ν3 = 1) stretch modes of methane in reactivity and dynamics of the O((3)P) + CH4 (νi = 0, 1; i = 1, 3) gas-phase reactions. Both CH stretch modes increase reactivity with respect t...

In this paper, the capacitance and inductance of a four-line transmission structure is characterized. The procedure used was developed by Ymeri et al for general analysis of multilayer multiconductor interconnects for specific applications in microelectronics. The characterization is based on the determination of the quasi-static electric scalar potential in the structure making up the four-lin...

We study the bispectrum of the curvature perturbation on uniform energy density hypersurfaces in models of inflation with two scalar fields evolving simultaneously. In the case of a separable potential, it is possible to compute the curvature perturbation up to second order in the perturbations, generated on large scales due to the presence of non-adiabatic perturbations, by employing the δN -f...

We study the inflationary dynamics of the universe in the Randall-Sundrum typeII Braneworld model. We consider both an inverse-power law and exponential potentials and apply the Slow-Roll approximation in high energy limit to derive analytical expression of relevant inflationary quantities. An upper bound for the coupling constant was also obtained and a numerical value of perturbation spectrum...

This paper is the first of a two-part series dealing with quantum-mechanical (density-functional-based) studies of helium-mediated deposition of catalytic species on the rutile TiO(2)(110)-(1×1) surface. The interaction of helium with the TiO(2)(110)-(1×1) surface is first evaluated using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional at a numerical grid dense enough to build an analytical three-dimensi...

The vacuum energy of a scalar field in a spherically symmetric background field is considered. Based on previous work [Phys. Rev. D 53 (1996) 5753], the numerical procedure is refined further and applied to several examples. We provide numerical evidence that repulsive potentials lead to positive contributions to the vacuum energy. Furthermore, the crucial role played by bound-states is clearly...

This paper is devoted to the study of delta shockwaves for a hyperbolic systemof conservation laws of Keyfitz-Kranzer typewith two linearly degenerate characteristics.TheRiemannproblem is solved constructively.TheRiemann solutions include exactly two kinds. One consists of two (or just one) contact discontinuities, while the other contains a delta shock wave. Under suitable generalized Rankine-...
