in this paper, the deformation of a thick-walled circular cylindrical shell of incompressible isotropic elastic material is considered. the shell, which is made of three-term strain energy function is subjected to the combined external and axial loading pressure. in order to obtain the relevant eigenvalues, which is the main objective of the work, the incremental equilibrium equations are so...

Nanoshell arrays have recently been found to possess ideal properties as a substrate for combining surface enhanced raman scattering (SERS) and surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopies, with large field enhancements at the same spatial locations on the structure. For small interparticle distances, the multipolar plasmon resonances of individual nanoshells hybridize and form r...

We investigate optical properties of a new complex plasmonic nanostructure, which consists of a spherical metallic nanoshell and a small metallic nanoparticle ("nanoknob") situated on its surface. The plasmon resonance wavelength of the entire structure is guided by the geometrical and material properties of the nanoshell whereas the electromagnetic field of the incident light is localized and ...

The optical properties of metals arise both from optical excitation of interband transitions and their collective electronic, or plasmon, response. Here, we examine the optical properties of Cu, whose strong interband transitions dominate its optical response in the visible region of the spectrum, in a nanoshell geometry. This nanostructure permits the geometrical tuning of the nanoparticle pla...

In this paper, we consider bifurcation from a circular cylindrical deformed configuration of a thick-walled circular cylindrical tube of incompressible isotropic elastic material subject to combined axial loading and external pressure. In particular, we examine both axisymmetric and asymmetric modes of bifurcation. The analysis is based on the three-dimensional incremental equilibrium equations...

the parasites of genus sarcocystis are among the most commonly found parasites in domestic ruminants and some species of sarcocystis can generate important economic loss when causing clinical and subclinical diseases. sarcocystis hominis, one of the three species of sarcocystis that cause muscular cysts in cattle, can infect the human intestinal tract. there is high infection rate of sarcocyst ...
