This paper introduces hexagonal shape sensors that is a meander and mesh type. Modelling, simulation and development of Hexagonal Sensor and the results are discussed in this paper. The characteristics of hexagonal spiral inductor and interdigital capacitor are determined. The hexagonal spiral inductor is a new electronic sensor that can be used for various measurements that produces magnetic f...

We study emulation of common graphs on a d-dimensional static multichannel mesh of optical buses. The target architecture consists of nodes arranged to a d-dimensional n-sided grid and dn d?1 optical buses. A bus is used to connect n nodes along a dimension. All nodes are connected to d buses { one per dimension. The aim in embedding graphs to such a target architecture is to minimize the numbe...

ABSTRACT: Rock support is the basis of any underground mine and many open cut operations. Ground support methods have evolved over the years with the current trend to use bolts, mesh and shotcrete. Thin spray-on liners may be the next step replacing mesh and shotcrete, however being a relatively new product is not well understood and no standard testing procedures exist to determine the strengt...

C 1-surface splines deene tangent continuous surfaces from control points in the manner of tensor-product (B-)splines, but allow a wider class of control meshes capable of outlining arbitrary free-form surfaces with or without boundary. In particular, irregular meshes with non quadrilateral cells and more or fewer than four cells meeting at a point can be input and are treated in the same conce...

The general concept of deployable structures based on pantographs that are deployed and stiffened by means of cables is applied to the design of the support structure for a large mesh re ̄ ector. The two main components of this structure are a cable-stiffened pantographic ring that deploys and pretensions a cable network that, in turn, provides a series of stiff, geometrically accurate support p...

This paper addresses the problem of constructing a structured quadrilateral grid inside a given four-sided 2D region by a particular boundary-conforming mapping scheme—Hermite Interpolation Mapping (HIM). When the four given boundary curves are concave and convoluted, all boundary-conform mapping methods suffer from potential self-overlapping problem. Under HIM, the geometry of the grid depends...

We study the approximation of the Reissner-Mindlin plate using the p/hp version of the finite element method (FEM). Our goal is to identify a method that: (i) is free of shear locking, (ii) approximates the boundary layer independently of the thickness of the plate and (iii) converges exponentially with respect to the number of degrees of freedom. We will consider both standard and reduced cons...
