We formulate a large-strain model of single-slip crystal elastoplasticity in the framework energetic solutions. The numerical performance is compared with laboratory experiments on compression stack papers.

In this article, the results of a study on energy absorption characteristics of foam-filled thin-walled structures with finite element analysis have been presented. Four specimens of thin walled structures have been filled with uniform foam and three specimens have been filled with linear four-layered foam. Also, eight layers HLH (High-Low-High) and eight layers LHL (Low-High-Low) have been sim...

Photonic band structure of metal-dielectric and semiconductor-dielectric layered structures are studied in the presence of a strong absorption. It is shown that absorption can enlarge some gaps by as much as 50%. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

We obtain a Sturm-Lioville matrix equation of motion (SLME) for the study of electromagnetic wave propagation in layered anisotropic structures. Conducting media were taken into account so that ohmic loss is considered. This equation can be treated using a 4 × 4 associated transfer matrix (T) in layered anisotropic structures, where the tensors: permittivity, permeability and the electric condu...
