Carbon nanotube is a kind of the special structure of material. Its radial length is nano-level and axial length is micron order of magnitude. Both ends of this one-dimensional quantum tube are basically sealed. Several dozens of layers of coaxial pipe is made up of the hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms. In this paper, the Organic polymer Composite Materials Modified by Carbon Nanotube is i...

In a human in vitro model of esophagitis, we investigated the genesis of esophagitis-associated dysmotility by examining HCl-induced production of inflammatory mediators in the mucosa and investigating their effect on esophageal circular muscle. Muscularis propria was removed from organ donors' esophagi, leaving the mucosal tube intact. The tube was tied at both ends, forming a sac, and filled ...

In this article, axisymmetric buckling behavior of piezoelectric fiber reinforced polymeric composite (PFRPC) annular plate subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical field is presented utilizing principle of minimum potential energy. Boron-nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are used as fibers. Full coupling between electrical, mechanical and thermal fields are considered according to a representative volum...

Composite coiled tubing is an emerging technology in the oil & gas sector that presents important advantages compared to the steel coiled tubing and conventional drilling. The composite tube has reduced weight, allowing extended reach and improved fatigue life. An additional advantage resides in the fact that the coiled tube wall can contain and protect additional functional elements, such as e...

effective elastic properties for carbon nanotube reinforced composites are obtained through a variety of micromechanics techniques. an embedded carbon nanotube  in  a  polymer  matrix  and  its surrounding  interphase  is  replaced with an equivalent fiber for  predicting  the  mechanical  properties of  the  carbon  nanotube/polymer composite. the effects of an interphase layer between the nan...

The Composite design pattern is a well-known implementation of whole-part relationships with trees of Composite objects. This paper presents a permission-based speci cation of the Composite pattern that allows nodes in an object hierarchy to depend on invariants over their children while permitting clients to add new children to any node in the hierarchy at any time. Permissions can capture the...

This paper investigates the energy absorption response of winding kenaf fiber composite tubes when subjected to an axial quasi-static crushing test. The square composites were prepared firstly by submerging the kenaf yarn into resin bath before it is warped around the mould for different number of layers and fiber orientations. The parameters measured were peak load, mean load and specific ener...

In this study, the free vibration of partially fluid-filled laminated composite circular cylindrical shell with arbitrary boundary conditions has been investigated by using Rayleigh-Ritz method. The analysis has been carried out with strain-displacement relations based on Love’s thin shell theory and the contained fluid is assumed irrotational, incompressible and inviscid. After determining the...

We employ a 3-dimensional magnetohydrostatic model of a horizontal flux tube, embedded in a magnetic surrounding atmosphere, to successfully reproduce the azimuthal and center-to-limb variations of the Net Circular Polarization observed in sunspot penumbrae. This success is partly due to the realistic modeling of the interaction between the flux tube and the surrounding magnetic field. Subject ...

This paper presents the experimental study of pressure and velocity fluctuations and their interdependence, in the turbulent flow impinging on arrangements of yawed circular cylinders simulating inclined tube banks with square arrangement and a pitch to diameter ratio of 1.26. Measurements were performed with hot-wires and a pressure transducer. Behaviour of fluctuating quantities is described ...
