This paper introduces the mechanical behavior of precise straightening thin-walled members systematically. As a result of its cross section characteristics of the thin-walled members, traditional straightening theory does not work well in the straightening process of this kind of metal bar stock. Considering the stress evolvement of section during the straightening process, a model was built to...

Steel thin-walled beams have been widely used in civil engineering as purlins, ceiling beams or wall substructure beams. There are often planar members such as trapezoidal sheeting or sandwich panels used as roof or wall cladding fastened to the steel beams. The planar members also serve as stabilization of thin-walled beams against buckling due to loss of stability. This paper focuses on probl...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been synthesized with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000 : 1, which is significantly greater than any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have novel properties which make them potentially useful in many applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics, and other fields ...

Aim of this research is the vibration analysis and control of rotating composite thin-walled beam containing distributed piezoelectric sensors and actuators. The formulation is based on thin-walled, single cell composite beam including the warping function, centrifugal force, Coriolis acceleration and piezoelectric effect. Adaptive capability of thin-walled beam is obtained by PVDF sensor and p...

An important issue in nanopore sensing is to construct stable and versatile sensors that can discriminate analytes with minute differences. Here we report a means of creating nanopores that comprise ultrashort single-walled carbon nanotubes inserted into a lipid bilayer. We investigate the ion transport and DNA translocation through single-walled carbon nanotube nanopores and find that our resu...

A facile approach was developed to prepare multi-walled carbon nanotubes/graphene nanoplatelets hybrid materials through covalent bond formation. First, poly(acryloyl chloride) was grafted onto oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes through the reaction between the acyl chloride groups of poly and the hydroxyl groups of oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Second, the remaining acyl chloride...

The fractal degree of adsorption on the multi-walled carbon nanotube has been investigated. The fractal-like Langmuir kinetics model has been used to obtain the fractal degree of ion adsorption on multi-walled carbon nanotube. The behavior of the fractal-like kinetics equation was compared with some famous rate equations like Langmuir, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. It is...

background; dyes can cause many problems in environment. therefore, removal of these contaminants before discharging wastewater to environment can reduce the environmental hazards. adsorption is one of the usual processes for decolorizing from wastewater. nanotubes are new adsorbents that can adsorb different compounds. this work aimed to investigate acid violet 17 dye removal by adsorption usi...

The observation of one-dimensional N₂ inside single-walled carbon nanotubes raises the questions, how are the N₂ molecules formed and how do they manage to make their way to this peculiar place? We have used N(15) and C(13) isotope labeled acetonitrile during the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes to investigate this process. The isotope shifts of phonons and vibrons are observed by Ra...

This paper proposes a two-dimensional elastic shell model to characterize the deformation of single-walled carbon nanotubes using the in-plane rigidity, Poisson ratio, bending rigidity and off-plane torsion rigidity as independent elastic constants. It was found that the off-plane torsion rigidity of a single-walled carbon nanotube is not zero due to the off-plane change in the π-orbital electr...
