1 SUMMARY A mixed-mode delamination test procedure was developed combining double cantilever beam (DCB) mode I loading and end notch flexure (ENF) mode II loading on a split unidirectional laminate. By loading the specimen with a lever, a single applied load simultaneously produces mode I and mode II bending loads on the specimen. This mixed-mode bending (MMB) test was analyzed using both finit...

The antimicrobial activity of some novel ascorbic acid-metal complexes [bisascorbate complexes of copper (II), zinc(II), manganese (11), iron (111), cobalt(II), lead(II) and cadmium(II)] was investigated. Four standard strains of bacterial species - Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumonia and four fungal species - Trichophyton sp. Penicillium sp....

Nanoparticles are widely used in different applications such as cancer cell treatment and antibacterial agents. SnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized successfully by hydrothermal method and subsequent calcination using Tin (II) chloride- dihydrate, Sodium hydroxide, in presence of Hexadecyltrimethylammoniumn bromide (CTAB) as Surfactant. These nanoparticles were characterized by using Fourier tra...

Numerical investigations of a warm-fluid model with an isothermal equation of state for the perpendicular dynamics of an axisymmetric, magnetically confined pure electron plasma predict an exponentially unstable, I= 1, diocotron mode for hollow density profiles. , The unstable mode can be identified with a stable, nonsmooth mode that exists in cold drift models but which is destabilized-by fini...

the mode of coordination of8 manganese(fi), cobaltm, nickel(h), copper(ii), zinc(h), lead(ii) and cadmium(i1) to sodium ascorbate (nahasc) was investigated using ir, uv-visible, aas, elemental microanalyzer, conductivity, magnetic and 'm and i3c nmr spectroscopic studies, nanasc is bidentate and coordination was through the carbonyl group and the oxygen atom of carbon-2 enolic hydfoxyl gro...
