in the traditional hole drilling method the in-plane stresses are studied in detail and the interlaminar stresses are not taken seriously. the interlaminar stresses on the free edge of composite materials are important and can cause matrix cracking and delamination. inserting holes in composite laminates causes free edges and it can induce interlaminar shear and normal stresses. in this researc...

In this paper static and dynamic responses of a fixed-fixed microbeam to electrostatic force and mechanical shock for different cases have been studied. The governing equations whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear elasto-electrostatic equations. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equations analytical solution are ...

Residual stress arisen in fabrication process of Double-Ceramic-Layer Thermal Barrier Coating System (DCL-TBCs) has a significant effect on its quality and reliability. In this work, based on the practical fabrication process of DCL-TBCs and the force and moment equilibrium, a theoretical model was proposed at first to predict residual stress generation in its fabrication process, in which the ...

background: with respect to physical relations in force and pressure, we hypothesized that the prevalence of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation in patients with a patulous eustachian tube is greater than normal, because in eustachian tube patency, the internal air pressure of the middle ear will not increase after compression, subsequent to trauma. therefore the force upon the tympanic mem...

We develop a method for calculating the doublet splittings of select ground-state single Λ-hypernuclei. This hypernuclear spectroscopy is conducted by supplementing the self-consistent single-particle equations with an effective interaction, which follows directly from the underlying lagrangian, to simulate the residual particlehole interaction. Our previous investigation, performed using only ...

This paper addresses a relatively simple method of measuring Young’s modulus and residual stress in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) type structures. A surface profilometer is used to measure the deflection of thin film fixed-fixed beams due to the force applied by the profilometer probe. These measurements are analyzed using analytical beam theory. The treatment of end effects and the acc...

We proposed a fabrication method of the patterned retarder based on the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) instability. The anisotropic flow of the liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) film enables a net force induced by utilizing the distorted electric field. The patterned retarder based on the EHD instability has simple process with an easy control of the phase retardation and no residual LCP. Therefore, ...

Mechanically skinned muscle fibres from the twitch region of the iliofibularis muscle of cool- (16 +/- 1 degree C) and warm- (32 +/- 1 degree C) acclimated cane toads (Bufo marinus) were activated maximally by Ca2+ in solutions of different pH and at different temperatures (approx. 1-35 degrees C). Acclimation of up to 12 weeks at 16 degrees C and up to 8 weeks at 32 degrees C did not modify th...

This work is concerned with the development and study of a minimum residual norm subspace method based on the Generalized Conjugate Residual method with inner Orthogonalization (GCRO) method that allows flexible preconditioning and deflated restarting for the solution of non-symmetric or non-Hermitian linear systems. First we recall the main features of Flexible Generalized Minimum Residual wit...
