In the past few years, extensive improvements have been accomplished in reinforcing the structures through using shape memory alloys (SMAs). These materials absorb or dissipate energy through establishing a reversible hysteresis loop during a cyclic mechanical loading. This unique characteristic of the SMAs has made them appropriate for sensing, actuation, absorbing the impact energy, and vibra...

New studies show that the elastic properties of the vocal folds (VFs) vary locally. In particular strong gradients exist in the distribution of elastic modulus along the length of the VF ligament, which is an important load-bearing constituent of the VF tissue. There is further evidence that changes in VF health are associated with alterations in modulus gradients. The role of VF modulus gradat...

In spite of not being legally accepted in most countries, mixed recycled aggregates (MRA) could be a suitable raw material for concrete manufacturing. The aims of this research were as follows: (i) to analyze the effect of the replacement ratio of natural coarse aggregates with MRA, the amount of ceramic particles in MRA, and the amount of cement, on the mechanical and physical properties of a ...

The modulus of elasticity Youngs modulus E is a material property, that. From the Hooks law the modulus of elasticity is defined as the ratio of the stress to.modulus of elasticity of the cultured SC cells examined in this study, in central, non-nuclear regions, ranged between. Johnson B.all require an effective E, the Youngs modulus or elastic modulus, to quantify. Elastic moduli, such as the ...

In this paper, Asymmetric buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) Circular plates with temperature dependent property that subjected to the uniform radial compression and thermal loading is investigated. This plate is on an elastic medium that simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. Mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary nonlinearly by temperature change. The equili...

The process by which sound is propagated in the head of a toothed whale is still a subject of discussion. Investigating the distribution of acoustic impedance calculated by density and Young's modulus is effective for quantitative comprehension because acoustic impedance determines the reflection coefficient of a sound wave. However, the sound propagation process of the toothed whale has been m...

In this paper, static analysis of functionally graded annular plate resting on elastic foundation with various boundary conditions is carried out by using a semi-‍analytical approach‍ (SSM‍-DQM). The differential governing equations are presented based on the three dimensional theory of elasticity. The plate is assumed isotropic at any point, while material properties to vary exponentially thro...

Based on Drinfel ′ d realization of super Yangian Double DY (gl(1|1)), its pairing relations and universal R-matrix are given. By taking evaluation representation of universal R-matrix, another realization L ± (u) of DY (gl(1|1)) is obtained. These two realizations of DY (gl(1|1)) are related by the supersymmetric extension of Ding-Frenkel map. Yangian algebra was introduced by Drinfel ′ d[1, 2...

This is especially significant when it comes to the international effort to protect intellectual property. How can U.S.–based companies effectively assert or enforce IP rights, for example, if they are unable to accurately determine which patents are on file in a foreign jurisdiction that operates with a language other than English—or, for that matter, uses an entirely different alphabet? What ...

Let G be a finite simple graph with v vertices and e edges. A vertex-magic total labeling is a bijection λ from V (G)∪E(G) to the consecutive integers 1, 2, · · · , v+e with the property that for every x ∈ V (G), λ(x) + Σy∈N(x)λ(xy) = k for some constant k. Such a labeling is super if λ(V (G)) = {1, · · · , v}. We study some of the basic properties of such labelings, find some families of graph...
