This work presents how approximate solution methods were introduced in a graduate level course of Theory of Elasticity. The three methods introduced are the finite difference method, the finite element method, and the boundary element method. All methods are exemplified by the problem of a thick-walled cylinder subject to internal pressure with an axisymmetric response. Choosing a single proble...

Developing clinical work suggests that vascular stiffening plays a role in the progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH), while recent studies in animal models of hypoxic PH have found significant proximal vascular stiffening in the diseased population. Here, we develop and validate a minimally invasive, clinically realizable method to estimate the local elastic modulus of the proximal pulmona...

Based on the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau approach, we investigate phase solitonic states in a class of three-component superconductors for mesoscopic doubly-connected geometry (thin-walled cylinder) external magnetic fields. Analysis Gibbs free energy system shows that superconductor are thermodynamically metastable and separated from ground state by sizable energy. Our results demonstrate...

This paper is concerned with the buckling of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) under axial load. The DWCNTs are modelled as two cylindrical shells, one shell nested in the other and Winkler springs are introduced to connect them in order to simulate the van der Waals forces between the two nanotubes. By using the Donnell thin shell theory, we derive the governing equations for the bucklin...

The resistance standard described by James L. Thomas [1] was the result of his extensive effort to develop a new standard by systematically investigating every factor affecting the stability of resistance— time, surface effects, temperature, power, pressure— detectable at the time. The result was a unique standard which was used as part of the National Reference Group of resistors beginning in ...

In a sample produced by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD), the structure of the carbon nanotubes (diameter and helicity) which governs their electronic properties, is determined by electron diffraction. We found that most of the smallest bundles are constituted of identical double-walled carbon nanotubes.

The article deals with modeling and calculations of volumetric machine-building structures complex geometry. relevance the work lies in fact that its methodology results can help design massive structural elements shape, including cylinders powerful hydraulic presses. Attention is paid to problems reducing metal content products safe conditions their operation. Theoretical applied based on nume...

Weld type between parts will make a difference on structural performance, which is especially important for daouble-walled shell. To get clear this problem, numerical simulation conducted to investigate the influence of weld plans frame and out shell stress stability. Numerical results show that change plan small in case 15MPa external pressure, below critical value, ultimate bearing capacity c...
