Antikaon production from heavy ion collisions at energies available from the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory is studied in a relativistic transport (ART) model. We include contributions from the baryon-baryon, meson-baryon, and meson-meson interactions. The final-state interaction of antikaons via both absorption and elastic scattering by nucleons an...

carbon nanotube (cnt), due to extraordinary mechanical properties, is an effective stiffener as reinforcement in resin for fabricating of nanocomposites. it is demonstrated by adding a small amount of cnt to the matrix, the elastic modulus of matrix increases remarkably. in this paper, the elastic modulus of cnt reinforced nanocomposites is obtained two-dimensionally using a finite element meth...

Aim of this study was the determination of transverse-isotropic elastic properties of the human femoral d iaphysis and the evaluat ion of density-elasticity laws from literature with the acquired data. Five specimens of cortical bone were extracted from human cadaveric femora and mechanically tested via three point bending and compression tests, in order to determine the Young’s modulus in prox...

Several observables of unbound nucleons which are to some extent sensitive to the medium modifications of nucleon-nucleon elastic cross sections in neutron-rich intermediate energy heavy ion collisions are investigated. The splitting effect of neutron and proton effective masses on cross sections is discussed. It is found that the transverse flow as a function of rapidity, the Qzz as a function...

We study the flat phase of nematic elastomer membranes with rotational symmetry spontaneously broken by in-plane nematic order. Such state is characterized by a vanishing elastic modulus for simple shear and soft transverse phonons. At harmonic level, in-plane orientational (nematic) order is stable to thermal fluctuations, that lead to short-range in-plane translational (phonon) correlations. ...

The light-attenuating effects of enamel on the mechanical properties of light-cured composite resins were evaluated using simple experimental filters. Three filters were designed to simulate the light transmittance characteristics of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm thick human enamel. The Knoop hardness numbers (KHN) and the elastic modulus in transverse tests for twelve shades of three light-cured compos...
