A pressure sensor with a 200 μm diaphragm using silicon nanowires (SiNWs) as a piezoresistive sensing element is developed and optimized. The SiNWs are embedded in a multilayered diaphragm structure comprising silicon nitride (SiNx) and silicon oxide (SiO2). Optimizations were performed on both SiNWs and the diaphragm structure. The diaphragm with a 1.2 μm SiNx layer is considered to be an opti...

The multilayered composite structure has been utilized frequently in the literature of periodic homogenization as a test case for developing new methodologies linear and nonlinear media. manuscript demonstrates that these composites can also be used validating mean-field micromechanics techniques. It is shown Mori–Tanaka method combined with Transformation Field Analysis provides same solution ...

Multilayered feed-forward neural networks trained with back-propagation algorithm are one of the most popular “online” artificial neural networks. These networks are showing strong inherit parallelism because of the influence of high number of simple computational elements. So it is natural to try to implement this kind of parallelism on parallel computer architecture. The Parallel Hybrid Ring ...

The microstructure and tensile response of amorphous ZrCu and nanocrystalline Cu multilayered thin films, with sharp or graded interfaces, are examined and analyzed. The extracted tensile properties of the multilayered films can be compared with the predicted values based on the iso-strain Rule of Mixture model. The multilayered films with graded interfaces, each about 50 nm thick, consistently...

A key step in nervous system development is the spatial positioning of neurons within a structure. In this chapter I review the mechanisms by which the cellular spacing of neuronal networks emerges. In particular, I focus on the spatial distribution of neurons within the retina. The retina is ideal for studying such developmental mechanisms because of its multilayered structure and specific neu...

Methods of calculation of thermal processes of the isolating materials are considered, in problems of nondestructive diagnostics of the main and distributive power stations. Theoretical justification of calculation of thermal processes of the multilayered isolating structure was given. On the basis of the analysis of results of operation, service life, physical processes of "ageing" and use of ...

Basic possibility to use single-channel shear-horizontal surface acoustic waves sensor constructed as a delay line on multilayered structure with 36 YX LiTaO3 substrate for liquids recognition has been proposed. The changes under analytes influence of the sensor pulse responses obtained by transformation to time domain of one of the S-parameters measured in frequency domain have been used as se...

In this paper, we present a new comprehensive model for the bistatic electromagnetic scattering from 3D multilayered structure with rough boundaries, which is based on the boundary condition perturbation theory. The obtained compact closed-form solution turns out to be fully polarimetric and exhibits a direct functional dependence on the structure parameters, so that it can be widely applied in...

We develop a loosely coupled fluid-structure interaction finite element solver based on the Lie operator splitting scheme. The scheme is applied to the interaction between an incompressible, viscous, Newtonian fluid, and a multilayered structure, which consists of a thin elastic layer and a thick poroelastic material. The thin layer is modeled using the linearly elastic Koiter membrane model, w...

The present study emphasizes in situ transformation of soybean oil to self-assembled supramolecular multilayered biopolymer material. The said polymer material was characterized and the entrapment efficacy of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties was studied. In brief, soybean oil at varying concentration was mixed with mineral medium and incubated under agitation (200 rpm) at 37 degrees C ...
