Abstract (Pb,Nb)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 antiferroelectric (AFE) thin films have been fabricated on LaNiO3/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si wafers using a sol–gel process. The electric field-induced antiferroelectric-to-ferroelectric (AFE–FE) phase transformation behaviour and its dependence on the temperature were examined by investigating the dielectric constant and dielectric loss versus temperature and electrical field. ...

According to the temperature distribution of water injection well-bore in highly deviated wells under different conditions and unstable temperature field heat conduction principles, a true three-dimensional model was established to analyze the law of variation on temperature of highly deviated wells during the water injection process, and to analyze the factors that influence the water injectio...

During the past two decades, there have been tremendous developments in near-field imaging and local probing techniques. Examples are the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Near-field Scanning Optical Microscope (NSOM), Photon Scanning Tunneling Microscope (PSTM), and Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM).Results showed that the average reflectance for a dopant con...

This paper deals with the determination of displacement function and thermal stresses of a finite length isotropic functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to uniform temperature field. The solution of the governing thermoelastic equation is obtained, as suggested by Spencer et al. for anisotropic laminates.  Numerical calculations are also carried out for FGM (Functionally graded material...

In this study buckling analysis of solid rectangular plate made of porous material in undrained condition is investigated. The mechanical properties of plate are assumed to vary through the thickness direction. Distributing of the pores through the plate thickness are assumed to be the nonlinear nonsymmetric, nonlinear symmetric, and monotonous distribution. The effect of pores and pores distri...

In this paper a closed form solution for one-dimensional magnetothermoelastic problem in a functionally graded material (FGM) hollow sphere placed in a uniform magnetic field and temperature field subjected to an internal pressure is obtained using the theory of magnetothermoelasticity. Hyper-geometric functions are employed to solve the governing equation. The material properties through the g...

Propane combustion in a trapped vortex combustor (TVC) is characterized via large eddy simulation coupled with filtered mass density function. A computational algorithm based on high order finite difference (FD) schemes, is employed to solve the Eulerian filtered compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In contrast, a Lagrangian Monte-Carlo solver based on the filtered mass density function is inv...
