Pressure vessels are used for various industrial applications. To ensure safe operation of pressure vessels, it is important to know its burst pressure. Burst pressure is the pressure at which vessel burst/crack and internal fluid leaks. For light weight application pressure vessel are made of composite material. Payload performance /speed /operating range depends up on weight. Use of composite...

The bandwidth limitations of resonant, electrically small antennas that fully occupy a spherical volume are well defined by the inverse of the Chu-limit or the lower bound on quality factor. Recently, Gustafsson et al developed lower bounds for the Q of antennas of arbitrary shape. We have previously described antenna designs fully occupying a spherical volume and a cylindrical volume that exhi...

Liquid hydrogen (LH2) takes up less storage volume than gas but requires cryogenic vessels. State-of-the-art applications for passenger vehicles consist of double-wall cylindrical tanks that hold a hydrogen storage mass of up to 10 kg. The preferred shell material of the tanks is stainless steel, since it is very resistant against hydrogen brittleness and shows negligible hydrogen permeation. T...

For a Lagrangian scheme defined in the cylindrical coordinates, two important issues are whether the scheme can maintain spherical symmetry (symmetry-preserving) and whether the scheme can maintain positivity of density and internal energy (positivity-preserving). While there were previous results in the literature either for symmetry-preserving in the cylindrical coordinates or for positivity-...

We develop a new cell-centered control volume Lagrangian scheme for solving Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics in cylindrical coordinates. Based on a local coordinate transform strategy, the scheme can preserve one-dimensional spherical symmetry in a two-dimensional cylindrical geometry when computed on an equal-angle-zoned initial grid. Unlike many previous area weighted schemes that...

Context. Detailed hydrodynamic modeling explained several features of a fragment of the core of a Coronal Mass Ejection observed with SoHO/UVCS at 1.7 R⊙ on 12 December 1997, but some questions remained unsolved. Aims. We investigate the role of the magnetic fields in the thermal insulation and the expansion of an ejected fragment (cloud) traveling upwards in the outer corona. Methods. We perfo...

In applications such as astrophysics and inertial confine fusion, there are many threedimensional cylindrical-symmetric multi-material problems which are usually simulated by Lagrangian schemes in the two-dimensional cylindrical coordinates. For this type of simulation, a critical issue for the schemes is to keep the spherical symmetry in the cylindrical coordinate system if the original physic...

An electric field induced sphere-to-cylinder transition in thin films of asymmetric polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymers was observed. In the absence of an applied electric field, thin films of the asymmetric diblock copolymer consisted of layers of spherical microdomains with poor in-plane long-range ordering. Under a ∼40V/μm applied electric field, hexagonally packed cyl...

the harmony search algorithm is applied to optimum designs of a functionally graded (fg)-carbon naotubes (cnts)-reinforced pipes conveying fluid subjected to moving load. the structure is modeled by reddy cylindrical shell theory and the motion equations are derived by hamilton's principal. based on differential quadrature method (dqm), the dynamic displacement of system is derived. the le...
