In this paper, we have studied the hydrogen adsorption onto CNCs and BNNCs nano-cones using GCMC simulations. The effects of length and cone apex angle on adsorption property have been investigated. Our results show that with increasing the pressure and decreasing the cone length and cone apex angle except for CNC-300˚, the hydrogen adsorption onto the BNNCs and CNCs was increased. It was also ...

This paper investigates response of triangular shell strip footings situated on the sandy slope. A series of reduced-scale plate load tests were conducted to cover different parameters including three shell footing types with different apex angles in addition to a flat footing, four different distances for strip footings from the crest of the slope namely “edge distance” and reinforcement statu...

The price of single point diamond tools with a sharp tip is very high due to complex machining process and highly expensive machining equipments. Yet, the performance is not quite satisfactory. In this paper, we have presented a very simple and cost effective machining process for the sharpening and polishing of diamond stylus using low energy reactive ion beam machining (RIBM). In our method, ...

Background Curved rocker shoes are designed with a contoured outsole which can be characteristics by three principle design features: rocker angle, apex angle and apex position. Although these shoes are routinely prescribed to reduce in-shoe pressure in patients with diabetes, there is only minimal scientific evidence to inform the choice of value for each of the three design features. Results ...

a finite element analysis is presented for sloshing and impulsive motion of liquid-filled conical tanks during lateral anti-symmetric excitation. the performed analyses led to the development of a number of charts which can be used to identify the natural frequency, the mode shapes of conical tanks for both fundamental and the cos(θ)-modes of vibration. conical tank geometry was described with ...

BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the precise rocker shoe outsole design that will optimally reduce plantar pressure in people with diabetes. This study aimed to understand how peak plantar pressure is influenced by systematically varying three design features which characterise a curved rocker shoe: apex angle, apex position and rocker angle. METHODS A total of 12 different rocker shoe des...

In this paper a new aggregation operator for a class of LR Fuzzy Numbers i.e., Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFNs) in which the Land Rapex angles of the piecewise continuous linear membership function of the composite or resultant or aggregate TFN are the arithmetic means of the corresponding Land Rapex angles of the individual TFNs is proposed. The Land Rapex angles have been treated independently...

Background Left Ventricular (LV) twist, defined as the difference in rotation between the apex and the base, has recently been suggested as a diagnostic imaging biomarker for LV dysfunction [1]. Increasing age is associated with an increase in apical rotation, which leads to an increase LV twist [2-4]. Recently, it has been suggested that LV circumferential-longitudinal shear angle (CL-shear an...

We report on a systematic study of highly enhanced optical field and its induced thermal transport in nanotips under laser irradiation. The effects on electric field distribution caused by curvature radius, tip aspect ratio, and polarization angle of the incident laser are studied. Our Poynting vectors' study clearly shows that when a laser interacts with a metal tip, it is bent around the tip ...
