vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important impact on agricultural products' damage process, particularly in the case of fruits and vegetables. modulus of elasticity is one of the most conspicuous mechanical properties of fruits, the variation in which can be described as one of the most affecting damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted...

Previous studies of the flow created inside a cylindrical cavity ~radius R , height H) of fluid by a single rotating end wall have shown that over a range of cylinder aspect ratios 1.6&H/R&2.8, the first unsteady flows to bifurcate with increasing Reynolds number retain axisymmetry, and subsequent bifurcations break axisymmetry to give solutions with modulated rotating wave ~MRW! states. The un...

Axisymmetric pulsations of rotating neutron stars can be excited in several scenarios, such as core-collapse, crust and core-quakes and binary mergers and could become detectable either in gravitational waves or high-energy radiation. Here, we present a comprehensive study of all low-order axisymmetric modes of uniformly and rapidly rotating relativistic stars. Initial stationary configurations...

We study event horizons of non-axisymmetric black holes and show how features found in axisymmetric studies of colliding black holes and of toroidal black holes are non-generic and how new features emerge. Most of the details of black hole formation and black hole merger are known only in the axisymmetric case, in which numerical evolution has successfully produced dynamical space-times. The wo...

We study stationary and axisymmetric solutions of General Relativity, i.e. pure gravity, in four or higher dimensions. D-dimensional stationary and axisymmetric solutions are defined as having D−2 commuting Killing vector fields. We derive a canonical form of the metric for such solutions that effectively reduces the Einstein equations to a differential equation on an axisymmetric D − 2 by D − ...

The resonator of a solid-state vibratory gyro is responsible for sensing angular motion. Frequency splitting of an axisymmetric-shell resonator is a common problem caused by manufacturing defects. The defect causes a frequency difference between two working modes which consist of two nodes and two antinodes. The difference leads to the loss of gyroscopic effect, and thus the resonator cannot se...

Shapes of vesicles with toroidal topology are studied in the context of curvature models for the membrane. For two simplified curvature models, the spontaneous-curvature (SC) model and the bilayer-couple (BC) model, the structure of energy diagrams, sheets of stationary shapes and phase diagrams are obtained by solving shape equations for axisymmetric shapes. Three different sheets of axisymmet...

Using the fluid-magnetofluid formalism, we obtain axisymmetric stability criteria for a composite disc system consisting of stellar and gaseous magnetized singular isothermal discs (MSIDs). Both (M)SIDs are presumed to be razor-thin and are gravitationally coupled in a self-consistent axisymmetric background equilibrium with power-law surface mass densities and flat rotation curves. The gaseous...
