In this paper, we propose a variation of honeycomb meshes. A honeycomb rectangular disk HReD(m,n) is obtained from the honeycomb rectangular mesh HReM(m,n) by adding a boundary cycle. A honeycomb rectangular disk HReD(m,n) is a 3-regular planar graph. It is obvious that the honeycomb rectangular mesh HReM(m,n) is a subgraph of HReD(m,n). We also prove that HReD(m,n) is hamiltonian. Moreover, HR...

Generalized honeycomb torus is a candidate for interconnection network architectures, which includes honeycomb torus, honeycomb rectangular torus, and honeycomb parallelogramic torus as special cases. Existence of Hamiltonian cycle is a basic requirement for interconnection networks since it helps map a “token ring” parallel algorithm onto the associated network in an efficient way. Cho and Hsu...

in this study, the effective factors on warpage in short fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites has been studied. first of all, the effective factors in manufacturing process were detected and then in order to decrease the number of experiments, the approach of design of experiments has been applied. by using micromechanics theory in composites and coefficients of thermal expansion models, a...

Abstract The thermal performance of a building is highly dependent on the heat transmission through envelope. On other hand, additive manufacturing has been increasingly used in several industrial applications due to its possibility produce complex structures. However, most studies 3d printing process focused mechanical performance. This study aims evaluate how internal 3D-printed microstructur...

Three-dimensional printing is one of the most promising areas additive manufacturing with a constantly growing range applications. One current tasks development new functional materials that would allow manufacture objects defined magnetic, electrical, and other properties. In this work, composite magnetic filaments for 3D tunable properties were produced from polylactic acid thermoplastic poly...

We report a cost-efficient and easy to implement process for fabricating microfluidic reactors in thermoplastic materials. The method includes (i) the fabrication of an imprint template (master), which consists of a photoresist deposited on a metal plate; (ii) the thermoembossing of the reactor features into polymer sheets; (iii) the activation of the embossed and planar thermoplastic surfaces;...

This contribution reviews elastomeric materials with photo-actuation behavior with emphasis on thermoplastic elastomers and their composites. The principles of the photo-actuation and the main factors affecting the photo-actuation phenomena of thermoplastic elastomer materials are discussed in detail. The well-performing photoactuating systems involving both statistical and block copolymers-bas...

The honeycomb mesh, based on hexagonal plane tessellation, is considered as a multiprocessor interconnection network. A honeycomb mesh network with n nodes has degree 3 and diameter a 1.63 n 1, which is 25 percent smaller degree and 18.5 percent smaller diameter than the mesh-connected computer with approximately the same number of nodes. Vertex and edge symmetric honeycomb torus network is obt...

A facile method enabling the integration of elastomeric valves into rigid thermoplastic microfluidic chips is described. The valves employ discrete plugs of elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) integrated into the thermoplastic substrate and actuated using a threaded stainless steel needle. The fabrication process takes advantage of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a sacrificial molding materi...

To investigate the energy absorption characteristics and crush behavior of layered aluminum honeycomb, the experiments of layered aluminum honeycomb structure under quasi-static load had been carried out, mainly includes single, double, triple, four layer combinations. The results showed that: the peak force and the mean plateau force of single-layer aluminum honeycomb structure are proportiona...
