We analyze transient electromagnetic pulse propagation in spectrally asymmetric magnetic photonic crystals MPCs with ferromagnetic losses. MPCs are dispersion-engineered materials consisting of a periodic arrangement of misaligned anisotropic dielectric and ferromagnetic layers that exhibit a stationary inflection point in the asymmetric dispersion diagram and unidirectional frozen modes. The a...

Observations of shear-wave splitting in the Northeastern US Appalachians and in the foredeep of the Urals vary signiicantly with the back azimuth and incidence angle of the incoming phase. These variations suggest two or more layers within the upper mantle with diierent anisotropic properties. Synthetic seismograms for simple multilayered anisotropic structures show that shear-wave splitting pa...

The hydrodynamic effect on a thin particle layer, which moves relative to fluid by an external force, is investigated theoretically and numerically. Because of the presence of layer ends, the arrangement of particles in the layer is anisotropic and the drag force acting on them varies according to the position. The resulting relative motion of particles brings about the spreading of the layer. ...

Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin films were prepared by organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD) in high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum on passivated Si(111) using β-phase CuPc as source material. The substrates were kept at room temperature during the deposition. The IR peak positions indicate that the films consist mainly of α-phase CuPc, while the relative intensities suggest that the films a...

formability of automotive friction stir welded twb (tailor welded blank) sheets isnumerically investigated in biaxial stretching based on hemispherical dome stretch (hds) test infour automotive sheets of aluminum alloy 6111-t4, 5083-h18, 5083-o and dp590 steel, havingdifferent thicknesses. the effects of the weld zone modeling and the thickness ratio on formabilityare evaluated. in order to car...
