in this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical pressure in a fgm hollow cylinder under the internal pressure due to non-axisymmetric loads is developed. it has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity was varying through thickness of the fgm material according to a power law relationship. the poisson's ratio was considered constant throughou...

OBJECTIVE Variations in the thickness of a compressed breast and the resulting variations in mammographic densities confound current automated procedures for estimating tissue composition of breasts from digitized mammograms. We sought to determine whether adjusting mammographic data for tissue thickness before estimating tissue composition could improve the accuracy of the tissue estimates. ...

While summer Arctic sea-ice extent has decreased over the past three decades, it is subject to large interannual and regional variations. Methodological challenges in measuring ice thickness continue to hamper our understanding of the response of the ice-thickness distribution to recent change, limiting the ability to forecast sea-ice change over the next decade. We present results from a 2400 ...

A dual-halo dual-dielectric triple-material cylindrical-gate-all-around/surrounding gate (DH-DD-TM-CGAA/SG) MOSFET has been proposed and an analytical model for the transconductance-to-drain current ratio (TDCR) has been developed. It is verified that incorporation of dual-halo with dual-dielectric and triple-material results in enhancing the device performance in terms of improved TDCR. The ef...

 In the present paper damped vibrations of non-homogeneous infinite rectangular plate of parabolically varying thickness resting on elastic foundation has been studied. Following Lévy approach, the equation of motion of plate of varying thickness in one direction is solved by quintic spline method. The effect of damping, elastic foundation and taperness is discussed with permissible range of pa...

The dynamic performance of structures under traveling loads should be exactly analyzed to have a safe and reasonable structural design. Different higher-order shear deformation theories are proposed in this paper to analyze the dynamic stability of thick elastic plates carrying a moving mass. The displacement fields of different theories are chosen based upon variations along the thickness as c...

In this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical pressure in a FGM hollow cylinder under the internal pressure due to non-Axisymmetric Loads is developed. It has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity was varying through thickness of the FGM material according to a power law relationship. The Poisson's ratio was considered constant throughout the...

PURPOSE This phantom study investigated variations of mucosal dose on photon beam energy, beam angle, multi-beam configuration and mucosal thickness, when using small photon fields in head-and-neck radiotherapy. METHODS Cylindrical mucosa phantoms with bone and air heterogeneities were created with mucosal thickness (normal tissue) equal to 1, 2 and 3 mm. For dosimetric comparison, correspond...

PURPOSE To evaluate diurnal variations in intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT), and macular and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in diabetic patients and normal individuals. METHODS This study included 11 diabetic patients with macular edema and 11 healthy individuals. IOP, CCT, and macular and RNFL thickness were measured every 3 hours on a single day between...
