epoxy powder coatings containing zinc aluminum phosphate (zap) and zinc phosphate (zp), which are the 2nd and 1st generation of phosphate-based pigments respectively, were applied to the surface of mild steel sheets. the anticorrosive performances of the coated samples were studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis). cathodic disbonding resistance and the adhesion performance of...

this paper studies pull-in behavior of a bio-mass sensor with a cantilevered cnt actuated electrostatically considering rippling deformation. although this phenomenon can change the behavior of cnt remarkably, its effect on the performance of a cnt-based mass sensor is not investigated yet. this investigation is based on modified euler-bernoulli beam theory and rippling effect is entered the eq...

A novel single-stage push–pull electronic ballast with high input power factor is presented in this paper. The proposed electronic ballast combines the front-end power-factor corrector and push–pull converter into a single-stage converter. Compared to the single-stage class-D electronic ballast, the proposed circuit does not require an isolated driver. The control of the circuit is easier and t...

Accurate determination of the pull-in, or the collapse voltage is critical in the design process. In this paper an analytical method is presented that provides a more accurate determination of the pull-in voltage for MEMS capacitive devices with clamped square diaphragm. The method incorporates both the linearized modle of the electrostatic force and the nonlinear deflection model of a clamped ...

in the current study the effect of casimir force and squeezed film damping on the pull-in instability and dynamic behavior of electrostatically actuated nano and micro electromechanical systems is investigated separately. linear elastic membrane theory is used to model the static and dynamic behavior of system for strip, annular and disk geometries. squeezed film damping effect is modeled using...

this paper analyses and compares the performances of business-to-business e-commerce data quality and service quality among the use of the ‘push’ and ‘pull’ models. rosettanet’s original partner interface processes use the ‘push’ model which suffers from data redundancy when the volume of business-to-business transaction increases. however, when the ‘pull’ model is used, although it reduces dat...
