Free bending vibration analysis of the functionally graded viscoelastic circular sandwich plates is accomplished in the present paper, for the first time. Furthermore, local shear corrections factors are presented that may consider simultaneous effects of the gradual variations of the material properties and the viscoelastic behaviors of the materials, for the first time. Moreover, in contrast ...

sandwich sheet rolling process is investigated using an analytical method (slab method) and a numerical method (finite element method). the horizontal stress distribution in the layers, the rolling pressure along the contact interface and the neutral point between the roll and the sheet are investigated. then the affects of the parameters such as the friction between the sheet and the roll, she...

there exist simple theories to predict the strain of sandwich structures under a bending load and specific support conditions. although theoretical predictions are highly effective, but the role of testing in validation of these theories and their progress is undeniable. the main goal of the present paper is to prepare a test instruction in order to minimize the error of data acquisition and th...

background: platanus species are widely cultured around the world and considered an important cause of allergic reactions. in the present study, we developed a sandwich elisa to quantify pla or 3 allergen in p. orientalis pollen extracts grown near high-traffic roads and compared it to pollen extracts collected from rural areas as control. methods: pollen samples were collected from three pollu...

Sandwich materials made of two aluminum sheets and a crumpled core have been manufactured for the first time using reproducible process. This very specific aims to drastically improve elasticity performance indexes sandwich. The structure has studied mainly in bending.

in this paper dynamic analysis (modal-method) of sandwich contructions have been studied. for this purpose a computer program was developed that could analyse the sandwich construction's dynamics. by using the program, one can find the natural frequencies, the normal modes and dynamic response of the free and forced vibrations.by solving few problems in this article, we have illustrated th...

Let R and B be two sets of n points. A ham-sandwich cut is a line that simultaneously bisects R and B, and is known to always exist. This notion can be generalized to the case where each point p ∈ R ∪ B is associated with a weight wp. A ham-sandwich cut can still be proved to exist, even if weights are allowed to be negative. In this paper, we present a O(n logn) algorithm to find a weighted ha...

A higher-order sandwich theory is implemented in conjunction with an equivalent mobility-based power flow progressive method to determine power flow for a sandwich configured floating raft vibration isolation system. The power spectrum changes in whole frequency range effectively when core materials’ properties change. It is also shown that the loss factors of the sandwich configured floating r...

In this study, a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) was manufactured and tested, and a MRE sandwich beam was also fabricated from a MRE between two thin aluminum layers. An experimental test rig was set up to investigate the vibration response of the MRE sandwich beam under a non-homogeneous magnetic field. The experimental results show that the first natural frequency of the MRE sandwich beam ...

PURPOSE To share our hybrid endovascular experiences using chimney or sandwich stent grafts for acute aortic arch pathologies. METHODS Hybrid procedures for a distal aortic arch aneurysm and an ascending anastomotic aortic aneurysm rupture were reported. Right to left common carotid and left axillar artery bypasses were located. Covered stents were inserted into the inominate artery, with the...
