cylindrical steel tanks are important components of many industrial plants such as oil refineries and chemical plants. usually failure of cylindrical tanks leads to serious consequences. during the past earthquakes such as 1964 alaska and 1999 turkey seismic performance of cylindrical tanks revealed that tanks are seismically vulnerable. therefore, evaluation of seismic performance of these str...

The spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHz is referred to as the millimeter wave band because the wavelengths for these frequencies are about one to ten millimeters. Millimeter wave propagation has its own peculiarities. This paper reviews the characteristics of millimeter wave propagation, including free space propagation and the effects of various physical factors on propagation. It was created ...

Focused electromagnetic beams are frequently modeled by either an angular spectrum of plane waves or a partial-wave sum of spherical multipole waves. The connection between these two beam models is explored here. The partial-wave expansion of an angular spectrum containing evanescent components is found to possess only odd partial waves. On the other hand, the partial-wave expansion of an alter...
