Ultra-light asymmetric photovoltaic sandwich structures
This work evaluated the possibility of using silicon solar cells as load-carrying elements in composite sandwich structures. Such an ultra-light multifunctional structure is a new concept enabling weight, and thus energy, to be saved in high-tech applications such as solar cars, solar planes or satellites. Composite sandwich structures with a weight of 800 g/m were developed, based on one 140 l...
متن کاملThe asymmetric sandwich theorem
We discuss the asymmetric sandwich theorem, a generalization of the Hahn–Banach theorem. As applications, we derive various results on the existence of linear functionals that include bivariate, trivariate and quadrivariate generalizations of the Fenchel duality theorem. Most of the results are about affine functions defined on convex subsets of vector spaces, rather than linear functions defin...
متن کاملAsymmetric Light Propagation in Active Photonic Structures
This thesis will present a theoretical and numerical analysis of optical systems exhibiting non-reciprocity, with potential applications in the field of integrated opto-electronic circuits. We will carefully engineer structures with highly-asymmetric transport properties, where traits such as reflectance and transmittance are dependent upon the incident direction of the interrogating waves. Thi...
متن کاملAcoustics of Sandwich Structures
USC’s work on sandwich structure acoustics began in 1998 and has evolved in close collaboration with the M.C. Gill Corporation, a leading manufacturer of sandwich panels for aircraft interiors. The work has had both an applied mission and an academic focus, and presents an example of university-industry collaboration can produce mutual benefit while advancing scientific understanding. Here, we ...
متن کاملForce protection using composite sandwich structures
In the recent past, advances have been made in the attempt to utilize composite materials as components in protective structures such as those employed by the Air Force to secure critical military assets. In such applications, where lightweight materials that exhibit large levels of energy absorption and high strength/stiffness characteristics are desirable, composite sandwich constructions off...
