We study the thermal buckling behavior of cylindrical shells reinforced with Functionally Graded (FG) wavy Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs), stiffened by stringers and rings, and subjected to a thermal loading. The equilibrium equations of the problem are built according to the Third-order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT), whereas the stiffeners are modeled as Euler Bernoulli beams. Different types of FG...

The left ventricle is represented as an elastic thick-walled cylinder contracting symmetrically. The force generated by the active state of the myocardium in the radial direction is represented by body force (force/unit volume) and is included in the mathematical formalism that describes the contraction of the left ventricle. An equation for the P-V relation in the left ventricle is derived and...

Aqueous single-walled carbon nanotube dispersions are often made using polymers from the Pluronic family of amphiphilic block copolymers, however relatively few studies have been made using small-angle neutron scattering techniques to discover the mechanism by which they act. SANS results reported here show that a relatively simple core-shell cylinder model can be used to fit data successfully ...

Abstract We study the Manhattan and Lorentz mirror models on an infinite cylinder of finite even width n , with probability p satisfying $$p<Cn^{-1}$$ p < C n - 1 C a consta...

Wild Academic Unit of Radiology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom Introduction: Devising a complete analytical theory that describes Helium-3 diffusion in lung tissue is difficult. The most recent attempt makes the approximation that each alveolar duct can be treated as a smooth walled, infi...
