Magneto-photo-acoustic imaging, a technique based on the synergy of magneto-motive ultrasound, photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging, is introduced. Hybrid nanoconstructs, liposomes encapsulating gold nanorods and iron oxide nanoparticles, were used as a dual-contrast agent for magneto-photo-acoustic imaging. Tissue-mimicking phantom and macrophage cells embedded in ex vivo porcine tissue were u...

in this study, mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the nosrat jacket; located in persian gulf; equipped with semi active tuned mass damper (satmd) system have been derived after modeling the structure in sacs software. owing to huge number of the degrees of freedom in the model, computation of on-line control of satmd was time consuming. for this purpose, the size of the model was reduced i...

The magneto-optical properties of Co microsquare—2 mm edge—arrays have been investigated for different interelement separations, from 0.2 to 2.0 mm. The magneto-optical response is measured both at reflected and diffracted beams, and it is compared with the results of a model that uses micromagnetic simulations and optical diffraction theory to calculate the magneto-optical response for differe...

The magneto-rheological responses of cement paste with nano-Fe3O4 particles are experimentally investigated. estimated magneto-dynamic force between two neighboring nanoparticles and equilibrium movement velocity the in cement-based suspensions calculated. Results show that have a potential to move form magnetic clusters when field is applied, which creates sort agitation effect breaking down e...

in this paper the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a homogeneous anisotropic magneto-piezothermoelastic diffusive body with fractional order derivative is studied. the governing equations for a homogeneous transversely isotropic body in the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion given by sherief et al. [1] are considered as a special case. it is found that three types of...

We study the morphology of the chain-like aggregates formed when a external constant and uniaxial magnetic field is applied to a magneto-rheological (MR) fluid. In order to characterize the conformation of the aggregates, we study the evolution of various fractal dimensions during aggregation and disaggregation processes (i.e., when the applied field is switched on and off), using video-microsc...

A Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid brake is a device to transmit torque by the shear force of an MR fluid. An MR rotary brake has the property that its braking torque changes quickly in response to an external magnetic field strength. In this paper, the design method of the cylindrical MR fluid brake is investigated theoretically. The mechanical part is modeled using Bingham’s equation, an approa...
