Understanding electromagnetic wave phenomena is very important to be able to design RF cavities such as for atmospheric microwave plasma torch, microwave vacuum oscillator/amplifier, and charged-particle accelerator. This chapter deals with some electromagnetic wave equations to show applications to develop the analytic design formula for the cavity. For the initial and crude design parameter, ...

the welding in cold formed areas is not only an open question for statically loaded sections (brittle fracture) but also for dynamically loaded structures (fatigue resistance). a lot of structures are subjected to dynamic loadings and unfortunately very little information about the influence of welding in the cold formed areas on fatigue resistance is available. in order to establish the fatigu...

The influence of combustor size and shape on material feasibility is explored using (structural and fuel) weight, as well as fuel economy as metrics. Amaterials selection methodology developed for actively cooled rectangular panels has been embellished to include cylindrical/annular configurations. The procedure incorporates an analytical model for temperature and stress distributions subject t...

We analyze electrostatic deformations of rectangular, annular circular, solid circular, and elliptic micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) by modeling them as elastic membranes. The nonlinear Poisson equation governing their deformations is solved numerically by the meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method. A local symmetric augmented weak formulation of the problem is introduced, and esse...

MoO2 nanotube with rectangular cross sections can be prepared on Mo substrates by using an O2-C2H2 combustion-flame method [Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 44 (2005) L449]. We have investigated the growth behavior of the nanotube in detail by using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis. The precursor of the growth is produced onsite at the Mo substrate, through reactions wi...

We report the synthesis of single-crystalline VO2 nanowires with rectangular cross sections using a vapor transport method. These nanowires have typical diameters of 60 (+/-30) nm and lengths up to >10 mum. Electron microscopy and diffraction measurements show that the VO2 nanowires are single crystalline and exhibit a monoclinic structure. Moreover, they preferentially grow along the [100] dir...
