Functional adaptation of the femur has been studied extensively by embedding remodelling algorithms in finite element models, with bone commonly assumed to have isotropic material properties for computational efficiency. However, isotropy is insufficient in predicting the directionality of bone's observed microstructure. A novel iterative orthotropic 3D adaptation algorithm is proposed and appl...

in this article, finite difference method (fdm) is used to solve sixth-order derivatives of differential equations in buckling analysis of nanoplates due to coupled surface energy and non-local elasticity theories. the uniform temperature change is used to study thermal effect. the small scale and surface energy effects are added into the governing equations using eringen’s non-local elasticity...

Electrochemically active LiMnPO(4) nanoplates have been synthesized via a novel, single-step, solid-state reaction in molten hydrocarbon. The olivine-structured LiMnPO(4) nanoplates with a thickness of approximately 50 nm appear porous and were formed as nanocrystals were assembled and grew into nanorods along the [010] direction in the (100) plane. After carbon coating, the prepared LiMnPO(4) ...

Bi₂Se₃ nanocrystals with various morphologies, including nanotower, nanoplate, nanoflake, nanobeam and nanowire, have been synthesized. Well-distinguished Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations were observed in Bi₂Se₃ nanoplates and nanobeams. Careful analysis of the SdH oscillations suggests the existence of Berry's phase π, which confirms the quantum transport of the surface Dirac fermions in b...

In this paper, static and free vibrations behaviors of the orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) plates resting on the two-parameter elastic foundation are analyzed by the a mesh-free method based on the first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). The mesh-free method is based on moving least squares (MLS) shape functions and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transfer...

Graphitic carbon nanocapsules, nanosheets and nanoplates were selectively obtained via a solid-state pyrolysis route from various ion-exchange resin-iron complexes.

in this article, an analytical solution is developed to study the free vibration analysis offunctionally graded rectangular nanoplates. the governing equations of motion are derived basedon second order shear deformation theory using nonlocal elasticity theory. it is assumed that thematerial properties of nanoplate vary through the thickness according to the power lawdistribution. our numerical...

We obtain the existence and the uniqueness at the same time in the reconstruction of orthotropic conductivity in two space dimensions by using two sets of internal current densities and boundary conductivity. The curl free equation of Faraday’s law is taken instead of the elliptic equation in a divergence form which is typically used in electrical impedance tomography. A reconstruction method b...

Ag nanoplates are the first generated by the reductant aniline in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) at room temperature without stirring in the reaction process.

in this paper, on the basis of a new strain gradient elasticity theory, wave propagation in rectangular nanoplates by considering in-plane magnetic field is studied. this strain gradient theory has two gradient parameters and has the ability to compare with the nonlocal elasticity theory. from the best knowledge of author, it is the first time that this theory is used for investigating wave pro...
