In this work the equations of motion of a Solid State Wave Gyroscope (SWG) with rotary thin cylindrical shell resonator is analyzed using the shell and plates elasticity theory. The gyroscope conversion factor found in this analytical study corresponds with the experimental results obtained and listed in the References. The function of the SWG to measure the angular velocity or the rotating ang...

Given a set P of n points in three dimensions, a cylindrical shell (or zone cylinder) is formed by two circular cylinders with the same axis such that all points of P are between the two cylinders. We prove that the number of cylindrical shells enclosing P passing through combinatorially different subsets of P has size Ω(n) and O(n) (the previously known bound was O(n)). As a consequence, the m...

This paper concerns the Stokes flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past a swarm of porous nanocylindrical particles enclosing a solid cylindrical core with Kuwabara boundary condition. An aggregate of porous nanocylindrical particles is considered as a hydro-dynamically equivalent to a solid cylindrical core with concentric porous cylindrical shell. The Brinkman equation inside the porous c...

Simple methods of analysis are developed for computing the dynamic steady-state axial response of floating pile groups embedded in homogeneous and non-homogeneous soil deposits. Physically-motivated approximations are introduced to account for the interaction between two individual piles. It is found that such an interaction arises chiefly from the ‘interference’ of wave fields originating alon...

Artificially structured metamaterials have enabled unprecedented flexibility in manipulating electromagnetic waves and producing new functionalities, including the cloak of invisibility based on coordinate transformation. Unlike other cloaking approaches4–6, which are typically limited to subwavelength objects, the transformation method allows the design of cloaking devices that render a macros...

In this paper, an elastic shell model is presented for postbuckling prediction of a long thinwalledcylindrical shell under axial compression. The Ritz method is applied to solve the governingequilibrium equation of a cylindrical shell model based on the von-Karman type nonlinear differentialequations. The postbuckling equilibrium path is obtained using the energy method for a long thin-walledcy...

The relationship between velocity of chemical reactions with activities or concentrations of their reactants, temperature and pressure and the mechanisms through which the reactions proceed are of interest to many scientists and engineers. The purpose of this article is to introduce a computer software that is developed for calculation, classification and collection of such data. The applicatio...

A vertical flexible, thin, cylindrical shell is considered to be clamped to a rigid base in shallow water and piercing its surface. The shell is composed of an isotropic and homogeneous material and may be empty inside or filled with compressible fluid. Linear acoustics and structural dynamics are used to model sound scattering caused by an external incident sound wave. A solution is derived us...

The Levi-Civita (LC) solution is matched to a cylindrical shell of an anisotropic uid. The uid satis es the energy conditions when the mass parameter is in the range 0 1. The mass per unit length of the shell is given explicitly in terms of , which has a nite maximum. The relevance of the results to the non-existence of horizons in the LC solution and to gauge cosmic strings is pointed out. PAC...

Curls and curves of a shell interweave its various strain modes and link them together. This interactional behavior has yet frustrated all attempts for the construction of shell templates, which needs for an individual element test in traditional approaches. Such a test fails to work for shell elements and must be reconstructed. In this paper, it is tried to study shell interactional behavior a...
