In this paper the effects of adding an extra layer within a sandwich panel and coretypes in top and bottom cores on quasistatic loading are studied experimentally. The panel includes polymer composite laminated sheets for faces and the internal laminated sheet called extra layer sheet, and two types of crushable foams are selected as the core material. Quasistatic tests were done by ZWICK testi...

The effects of adding an extra layer within a sandwich panel and two different core types in top and bottom cores on low velocity impact loadings are studied experimentally in this paper. The panel includes polymer composite laminated sheets for faces and the internal laminated sheet called extra layer sheet, and two types of crushable foams are selected as the core material. Low velocity impac...

We have previously reported the first realization of an orthogonal ferroelectric bent-core SmAPF phase by directed design in mesogens with a single tricarbosilane-terminated alkoxy tail. Given the potentially useful electrooptic properties of this phase, including analog phase-only electrooptic index modulation with optical latching, we have been exploring its "structure space", searching for n...

Structural analysis of a non-redundant data set of 47 immunoglobulin (Ig) proteins was carried out using a combination of criteria: atom--atom contact compatibility, position occupancy rate, conservation of residue type and positional conservation in 3D space. Our analysis shows that roughly half of the interface positions between the light and heavy chains are specific to individual structures...

conclusions this approach may be an appropriate approach to the zygomatic arch in the zmc fractures and eliminates the use of the coronal flap. introduction zygomatic arch fractures are common injuries in the maxillofacial injuries. sometimes it is necessary to fix the unstable fragments of the zygomatic arch. case presentation we introduce a combination of transconjunctival and lateral canthot...

Within the framework of Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire approach we explore impact elastic anisotropy, electrostriction, flexoelectric couplings, and mismatch strain on domain structure morphology in ferroelectric core-shell nanoparticles spherical shape. We perform finite element modelling (FEM) for multiaxial nanoparticle cores covered with an elastically-isotropic soft or elastically-anisotropic ...
