abstract. let $l$ be a lattice with the least element $0$. an element $xin l$ is a zero divisor if $xwedge y=0$ for some $yin l^*=lsetminus left{0right}$. the set of all zero divisors is denoted by $z(l)$. we associate a simple graph $gamma(l)$ to $l$ with vertex set $z(l)^*=z(l)setminus left{0right}$, the set of non-zero zero divisors of $l$ and distinct $x,yin z(l)^*$ are adjacent if and only...

We consider a circular arch of thickness ε and curvature r−1 whose elastic deformations are described by a 2×2 system of linear partial differential equation. The system of the type y′′ + Ay = 0,y = (y1, y3) involves the tangential y1 and normal y3 component of the arch displacement. We analyze in this work the null controllability of these two components by acting on the boundary through a Dir...

Piezoelectric unimorphs are bilayer structures where a blanket piezoelectric film (with top and bottom electrodes) is uniformly laminated on an inactive but flexible substrate. Because of their simple construction and flexibility, unimorphs are widely used as a key element in flexible sensors and actuators. The response of a unimorph is governed by the material properties of the film and the su...

We show for the first time that a classical analogue of EIT can be realized in “zero thickness” planar metamaterials (meta-surfaces) resulting in substantial delay of propagating electromagnetic pulses. @2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (160.3918) Metamaterials; (260.2030) Dispersion Here we demonstrate that a classical analogue of EIT can be implemented by appropriately patterning o...

A comparison between two known strategies of modeling lap joint interfaces, namely, zero-thickness and thin layer interface theories and their associated updating procedures, is made. Finite element...

We have studied the magnetic layer thickness dependence of the orbital magnetic moment in magnetic heterostructures to identify contributions from interfaces. Three different heterostructures, Ta/CoFeB/MgO, Pt/Co/AlOx and Pt/Co/Pt, which possess significant interface contribution to the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, are studied as model systems. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectrosco...

cold roll-forming is a process in which the roll of sheet is formed by passing continuously through the set of rotary rollers without changing thickness in a cool way until it is formed to the desired profile. in this paper a parametric study on the section twist angle in roll-forming the non-symmetric channel is presented, using finite element simulation. at first finite element simulation res...

in this paper $s$ is a monoid with a left zero and $a_s$ (or $a$) is a unitary right $s$-act. it is shown that a monoid $s$ is right perfect (semiperfect) if and only if every (finitely generated) strongly flat right $s$-act is quasi-projective. also it is shown that if every right $s$-act has a unique zero element, then the existence of a quasi-projective cover for each right act implies that ...

In this study, the behavior characteristics of I beam-to-concrete filled tube (CFT) column connection is studied through experiment and finite element models under the monotonic loading. To validate the finite element modeling, at first, an experimental model is made and experimented. After validation of the finite element modeling, different models were created in the software. The studied par...

In this paper, mechanical buckling analysis of composite annular sector plates with bean shape cut out is studied. Composite material sector plate made of Glass-Epoxy and Graphite-Epoxy with eight layers with same thickness but different fiber angles for each layer. Mechanical loading to form of uniform pressure loading in radial, environmental and biaxial directions is assumed. The method used...
