in the present work, study of the vibration of a functionally graded (fg) cylindrical shell made up of stainless steel, zirconia, and nickel is presented. free vibration analysis is presented for fg cylindrical shells with simply supported-simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary condition based on temperature independent material properties. the equations of motion are derived by hamilton...

the paper is concerned with a methodology of optimal design of shells of minimum weight with strength, stability and strain constraints. stress and strain state of the shell is determined by galerkin method in the mixed finite element formulation within the geometrically nonlinear theory. the analysis of the effectiveness of different optimization algorithms to solve the set problem is given. t...

in this work, efficiency and performance of hazelnut shells (hs) adsorbent was examined for the removal and recovery of direct red 12b (dr12b) from wastewater. the absorbance of dr12b was measured spectrophotometrically at λmax=523 nm before and after adsorption of dr12b. the maximum removal was 99.8% for 30 mg l –1 ofdr12b concentration on 0.3 gr hs adsorbent. acidic ph was favourable for the ...

abstract. in this paper, we classify all of the finite p-groups with at most three non linear irreducible character kernels.

The high efficiency of circular monocoque cylindrical shells in carrying axial loads is impaired by their extreme sensitivity to imperfections and there is an extensive body of literature that addresses this behavior. Instead of following this classical path, focused on circular cross-sections, this paper presents a novel approach that adopts optimal symmetry-breaking wavy cross-sections (wavy ...

The gauge usually adopted for extracting the reduced Hamiltonian of a thin spherical shell of matter in general relativity, becomes singular when dealing with two or more intersecting shells. We introduce here a more general class of gauges which is apt for dealing with intersecting shells. As an application we give the hamiltonian treatment of two intersecting shells, both massive and massless...

phosphoric acid (h3po4) and zinc chloride (zncl2) catalyzed shea nut shells, subjected to a one way activation scheme was employed to study the adsorption kinetics and mode of diffusion of industrial dye uptake. thermodynamics data obtained in this study indicate that the sorption of dye spontaneously increases with time and decreases after equilibration was reached. the adsorption follows the ...

Conventional sensors, such as proximeters and accelerometers, are add-on devices usually adding additional weights to structures and machines. Health monitoring of flexible structures by electroactive smart materials has been investigated over the years. Thin-film piezoelectric material, e.g. polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymeric material, is a lightweight and dynamic sensitive material appe...

X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), were applied to analyze the organic matrix of two Molluscan shells. The Mollusca shells are mineral structure and calcium carbonate crystallized as aragonite. The FT-IR spectra showed Alkyl Halide, Alkanes, Alcohols, Amides, Aromatic, and Hydroxyl ...

Dec 2009 were studied. Patients with vascular injuries caused by causes other than tear gas shells were excluded from the study. Results: All patients were treated with reverse saphenous vein graft as segmental loss was less than 2.5 cm. Wound infection was the most common complication, followed by graft occlu-sion. Amputation rate was 16.66%. Associated nerve injury occurred in 44.44% ...
