Multiple light scattering in metallic ejecta produced under intense shockwave compression

Light scattering studies of proteins under compression.

The scattering techniques are very convenient and effective in investigation of the shape, size and interactions of biological molecules close to their natural states in solution. However, it seems that from among a wide spectrum of scattering techniques, the light scattering ones have been relatively rarely used for the study of proteins under elevated hydrostatic pressure. This paper gives a ...

Geometrical metallic shell behavior study under compression

The loading response of shell structures depends on their shapes. The individual shape behaves uniquely to the loading, and different shapes give different load displacement graphs. If these geometries are combined, then their load displacement graphs can be different. It may happen that their combined behavior can be harnessed to be used as better energy absorber in a controlled manner, which ...

Metallic sandwich panels subjected to multiple intense shocks

The mechanical response and fracture of metal sandwich panels subjected to multiple impulsive pressure loads (shocks) were investigated for panels with honeycomb and folded plate core constructions. The structural performance of panels with specific core configurations under multiple impulsive pressure loads is quantified by the maximum transverse deflection of the face sheets and the core crus...

Spatial coherence effects in light scattering from metallic nanocylinders.

We study the scattering of a partially coherent electromagnetic beam from metallic nanocylinders and analyze the effects of plasmon resonances on the coherence and polarization properties of the optical near field. We employ the coherent-mode representation for the incident field and solve the scattering problem independently for each mode by using a boundary-integral method. Our results show t...
