The present paper offers a numerical model which can be applied for the simulation of wave height distribution on a 2-D horizontal soft mud layer. The model is based on mild slope equations and it includes combined wave refraction, diffraction, reflection and breaking. The high energy dissipation of wave height due to the presence of fluid mud layer has also been simulated. Wave height attenuat...

In this study, two-dimensional finite element modeling was used to study the simultaneous effect of the cell shape and regular cell distribution on the anisotropy of the elastic properties of 316L stainless steel foam. In this way, the uniaxial compressive stress-strain curve was predicted using a geometric model and fully solid 316L stainless steel. The results showed that the elastic tangent ...

Constant-pressure molecular-dynamics simulations have been carried out of a bead−rod model polymer confined between two attractive crystalline substrates. Three different substrate−substrate separations (i.e., film thicknesses) were used and two different polymer−substrate interaction strengths. The density profiles show a monomer layering close to the polymer− substrate interface. A higher den...

www.MaterialsViews.com C O M M High-Density Stretchable Electronics: Toward an Integrated Multilayer Composite U N IC By Liang Guo and Stephen P. DeWeerth * A IO N In recent years, interest has developed for implementing electronics using fl exible, foldable, and even stretchable materials; the potential applications of such technologies include consumer products ranging from fl exible/elastic ...

surface and small scale effects on free transverse vibration of a single-walled carbon nanotube (swcnt) fitted with y-junction at downstream end conveying viscose fluid is investigated in this article based on euler-bernoulli beam (ebb) model. nonlocal elasticity theory is employed to consider small scale effects due to its simplicity and efficiency. the energy method and hamilton’s principle a...

we have calculated the phonon frequencies of kc1 along symmetry directions using an approach which is a combination of the frozen phonon and force constants methods. we also calculated griineisen parameters for all modes at x and l points in the brillouin zone. finally, the slope of acoustic dispersion curves around zone center were used to calculate the three independent elastic coefficients c...

The use of thin-films made by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is increasing in the field optical sensing. ALD TiO2 has been widely characterized for its physical and properties, but systematic information about influence thermal history to mechanical properties film lacking. Optical applications require planar surface tunability refractive index residual stress. In addition, such as elastic modul...

The problem of diffraction by an elastic wedge has a significant history. A rather detailed survey was presented in [1], so we shall restrict ourselves to a short commentary. Up to the mid 1990s, most of the authors had been interested in the computational aspects of the problem, leaving the question of rigorous formulation aside (we mean the existence and uniqueness theorems). In the mid 1990s...
