In this study, discrepancies between the free vibration of fiber-metal laminate (FML) and composite cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Love’s first approximation shell theory have been considered by beam modal function model. The representative volume elements consist of three and four phases for composite and FML structures, respectively, which include fiber, CNT...

We present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of Eu(1-x)Gd(x)O through the ferromagnetic metal-insulator transition. In the ferromagnetic phase, we observe Fermi surface pockets at the Brillouin zone boundary, consistent with density functional theory, which predicts a half-metal. Upon warming into the paramagnetic state, our results reveal a strong momentum-dependent evolution of the el...

The photothermal deflection technique is used to measure the thermal diffusivity of a metal+eramic composite. The present, as well as other data on composites are analyzed to estimate a value for the Kapitza radius, rk, which represents the effectivevalue of the thermal boundary resistance of heterointerfaces. Remarkably, the data from different metal+eramic composite materials lead to a simila...

An outstanding concern raised over the implementation of liquid metal plasma facing components in fusion reactors is the potential for ejection of liquid metal into the fusion plasma. The influences of Rayleigh–Taylor-like and Kelvin–Helmholtz-like instabilities were experimentally observed and quantified on the thermoelectric-driven liquid-metal plasmafacing structures (TELS) chamber at the Un...

This is the second part of two sister papers. The first paper developed an algorithm for imaging the solidification of molten metal inside a pipe where the conductivity of the metal inside the pipe was assumed to vary continuously (i.e., no clear boundary between the solid and the melt). Due to this nature, the algorithm shown in the first paper involves computationally expensive volume integra...

The Meissner effect in diffusive normal metal / insulator / d-wave superconductor junctions is studied theoretically in the framework of the Usadel equation under the generalized boundary condition. The effect of midgap Andreev resonant states (MARS) formed at the interface of d-wave superconductor is taken into account. It is shown that the formation of MARS suppresses the susceptibility of th...

Introduction: Bulk ureilites have near chondritic abundances of siderophile elements [1-7], showing no correlation with Fe contents (~5-16 wt.%) or mg (molar Mg/[Mg+Fe]). These observations are difficult to reconcile with any igneous model for their silicates [8]. We address this problem through detailed characterization of the metal phases in ureilites [9], and petrologic modelling [10]. Here ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate, as precisely as possible, a boundary value problem involving a third order ordinary differential equation. Its solutions are the similarity solutions of a problem arising in the study of the phenomenon of high frequency excitation of liquid metal systems in an antisymmetric magnetic field within the framework of boundary layer approximation.

This paper presents a numerical solution for vibration analysis of a cantilever trapezoidal thick plate. The material of the plate is considered to be graded through the thickness from a metal surface to a ceramic one according to a power law function. Kinetic and strain energies are derived based on the Reissner-Mindlin theory for thick plates and using Hamilton's principle, the governing equa...

This paper deals with free vibration analysis of thick Laminated curved panels with finite length, based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory. Because of using two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method, the present approach makes possible vibration analysis of cylindrical panels with two opposite axial edges simply supported and arbitrary boundary conditions including Fre...
