Herein paper compares the analytical model with the FEM based numerical model of the axisymmetric bending of circular sandwich plates. Also, the paper describes equations of the circular symmetrical sandwich plates bending with isotropic face sheets and the nonlinear elastic core material. The method of constructing an analytical solution of nonlinear differential equations has been described. ...

The sandwich culture of hepatocytes, between double layers of extra-cellular matrix (ECM), is a well-established in vitro model for re-establishing hepatic polarity and maintaining differentiated functions. Applications of the ECM-based sandwich culture are limited by the mass transfer barriers induced by the top gelled ECM layer, complex molecular composition of ECM with batch-to-batch variati...

Abstract The thermal analysis is performed on a heated Inconel 617 honeycomb-core sandwich panel. Sandwich panel is supported at its four edges with spar-like sub-structures that acted as heat sinks, which are generally not considered in the classical analysis. One side of the panel is subjected to a heat flux on the surface. Two types of surface heating were considered: (1) hexagonal honeycomb...

A method is proposed to identify the mechanical properties of the skin and core materials of honeycomb sandwich. All the elastic coefficients and loss-factors that matter in the dynamics of a panel in the thick-plate approximation are identified. To this end, experimental natural modes (i.e. eigenmodes of the damped system) are compared to the numerical modes of a large sandwich panel (lx,y/h ≃...

Ag/Bi-2223 tapes were fabricated using the Powder-In-Tube method, involyH1~ intermediate deformation techniques of sandwich rolling (SR), pressing (P) and nQl1l1~~ rolling (NR). Magnetic field B depen:lence of Jc was measured. Depending 6rt:~~' relationship between )c and B, the irreversible magnetic field Birr was determineli)lIl..W: pinning force density F was calculated.

functional and aesthetic results [3]. In case of more extensive defects involving both scrotal and perineal skin loss, we favor split thickness skin grafts for defect coverage. As noted by Huettinger et al. [1], graft fixation remains a challenge. We have developed a VAC fixation technique, the so-called “sandwich technique” [4], that we have used successfully for many years now. We feel that i...

We propose a fast penalized spline method for bivariate smoothing. Univariate Pspline smoothers Eilers and Marx (1996) are applied simultaneously along both coordinates. The new smoother has a sandwich form which suggested the name “sandwich smoother” to a referee. The sandwich smoother has a tensor product structure that simplifies an asymptotic analysis and it can be fast computed. We derive ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the changes in Preoperative and Postoperative keratometry results and rapid visual rehabilitation in Cataract surgery by our phaco-sandwich technique through the self sealing sclero-corneal tunnel incision without phacoemulsification. METHODS 96 eyes of 88 patients with age-related cataracts underwent small incision suture less cataract surgery without phacoemulsificati...

Screening phage-displayed peptide libraries (biopanning) is an important technique for acquiring peptide ligands and for mapping peptide epitopes recognized by antibodies (Ab). In biological samples, other materials, not only contaminants but also natural constituents, often interfere with biopanning. Capture methods use anchoring Abs that reduce the need for purification of the intended pannin...

abstract: the present study deals with the buckling analysis of the laminated composite truncated conical sandwich shells with flexible core subjected to combined axial compressive load and external pressure. higher order governing equations of the motion are presented for conical composite sandwich shells, where they are derived from the hamilton principle. then, by the use of improved higher-...
