A Zener±Stroh crack is formed by coalescing a dislocation pileup and therefore is a net dislocation loaded crack. In this paper, the interaction between a Zener±Stroch crack and surrounding cylindrical ®bers in a ®ber-reinforced composite material has been investigated. The crack is located in the matrix and near a ®ber, while the in ̄uence of other ®bers on the crack is considered through the t...

Core-shell composite structures are potential candidates for Li-ion battery electrodes as they can take advantage of materials with higher energy density and materials with higher cyclability. This paper derives an analytical solution for isotropic 1-dimensional diffusion with galvanostatic boundary condition in composite slab, cylinder and sphere using separation of variables method. A general...

PP/FG composite materials were prepared by compressing moulding under high temperature through high-speed mixer, mixing mill and vulcanization machine taking PP as the matrix resin, FG thermal conductive filler, NDZ-201 coupling agent. Effects of proportion, content particle size on conductivity mechanical properties studied. Results showed that proportion has little effect materials, but it gr...

An electromagnetic scattering solution for the interaction between a dielectric cylinder and a slightly rough surface is presented in this paper. Taking the advantage of a newly developed technique that utilizes the reciprocity theorem, the difficulty in formulating the secondary scattered fields from the composite target reduces to the evaluation of integrals involving the scattered fields fro...

electro-thermo-elastic stress analysis of piezoelectric polymeric thick-walled cylinder reinforced by boronnitride nanotubes (bnnts) subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical fields is presented in this article. the electro-thermo-elastic properties of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pefrc) was studied by a modified xy micromechanical model capable of exhibiting full coupling relation be...

Porous carbon nanofiber (CNF) composites are promising electrode materials for supercapacitor (SC) applications. In this research, the purpose of developing efficient CNFs with high specific capacitance, PAN solutions introduced nano-sized boron oxide (B2O3) were electrospun followed by thermal treatment at temperature. The best electrochemical performance was found sample which doped 1 wt% and...

introduction: hydrocolloids are widely used in food systems as an emulsifying or stabilizing agent. one way to improve the emulsifying properties of hydrocolloids is complexation with proteins. in general, protein and hydrocolloid components may be combined together by either a) covalent bonding (conjugates) or b) electrostatic complexing. conjugates can be efficiently prepared during the stora...

The influence of the dispersion of vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNF) on the electrical properties of VGCNF/Epoxy composites has been studied. A homogenous dispersion of the VGCNF does not imply better electrical properties. In fact, it is demonstrated that the most simple of the tested dispersion methods results in higher conductivity, since the presence of well-distributed nanofiber cluste...

in this study, the analysis of transient thermoelastic response of a functionally graded (fg) non-axisymmetric viscoelastic cylinder is presented. the material properties are assumed to be time- dependent and radially and circumferentially non-homogeneous. the finite element (fe) formulations of the thermoelastic problem are obtained using the virtual work method and all the coupling terms are ...

kermanshah province is the main producer of various chickpea cultivars in iran. in this study a laboratory peg-tooth thresher was employed for chickpea threshing. the effect of cylinder speed (9, 12, 15 m/s), concave clearance (12, 14, 16 mm), feed rate (80, 160, 240 kg/h) and material moisture content (5, 10, 15% w.b.) was studied on percentage of grain damage, threshing efficiency and percent...
