Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) consisting of two or more different types of fibers has been widely investigated because of its superior mechanical properties. In the present study, the effect of the addition of steel (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% of concrete volume) and Polypropylene (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% of concrete volume) fibers on the surface scaling resistance of concrete, depth of ...

Abstract The 4 ⁢ N {4N} -carpets are a class of infinitely ramified self-similar fractals with large group symmetries. For -carpet F , let { F n stretchy="false">} ≥ 0...

We study the asymptotic behaviour of resistance scaling and fluctuation of resistance that give rise to flicker noise in an n-simplex lattice. We propose a simple method to calculate the resistance scaling and give a closed-form formula to calculate the exponent, βL, associated with resistance scaling, for any n. Using current cumulant method we calculate the exact noise exponent for n-simplex ...

Source/drain (S/D) series resistance components and device/process parameters contributing to series resistance are extensively analyzed using advanced model for future CMOS design and technology scaling into the nanometer regime. The total series resistance of a device is found to be very sensitive to the variations of the sidewall thickness, the doping concentration in the deep junction regio...

Seed plants vary tremendously in size and morphology; however, variation and covariation in plant traits may be governed, at least in part, by universal biophysical laws and biological constants. Metabolic scaling theory (MST) posits that whole-organismal metabolism and growth rate are under stabilizing selection that minimizes the scaling of hydrodynamic resistance and maximizes the scaling of...
