Introduction: Beam-angle optimization (BAO) is a computationally intensive problem for a number of reasons. First, the search space of the solutions is huge, requiring enumeration of all possible beam orientation combinations. For example, when choosing 4 angles out of 36 candidate beam angles, C36 = 58905 possible combinations exist.  Second, any change in a   beam 4 config...

Planar MMI couplers based on inorganic material platforms have played an essential role in photonic integrated circuits development. Advances organic polymer fabrication techniques enable the design of components beyond a single plane, thus facilitating vertical integration for wide range components, including coupler. This paper presents two 3D IP-dip polymer-based power splitters operating ne...

Hydroelasticity of marine structures with and without forward speed is studied directly using time dependent Boundary Integral Equation Method Neumann-Kelvin linearisation where the potential considered as impulsive velocity potential. The exciting radiation hydrodynamic parameters are predicted in transient wave Green function whilst structural analysis solved Euler-Bernoulli beam method at wh...

This paper presents a new model updating approach for structural damage localization and quantification. Based on the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), a new damage-sensitive cost function is introduced by employing the main diagonal and anti-diagonal members of the calculated Generalized Flexibility Matrix (GFM) for the monitored structure and its analytical model. Then, ...

In this paper, free and forced vibration of simply-supported Single-walled carbon nanotube is investigated under the moving nanoparticle by considering nonlocal cylindrical shell model. To validate the theoretical results, modal analysis of nanotube is conducted using ANSYS commercial software. Excellent agreement is exhibited between the results of two different methods. Furthermore, the dynam...

In this study, rotating flexible shaft-disk system having flexible beams is considered as a dynamic system. After neglecting nonlinear terms, torsional vibration of the shaft-disk system and lateral and longitudinal vibration of the flexible beam are still coupled through the motor speed. The system has three natural frequencies; the flexible shaft-disk system torsional natural frequency, the f...

A new hybrid modal-moment method is proposed to calculate fields penetrated through small apertures on rectangular metallic enclosures. First, the method of moments is used to numerically solve the governing electric field integral equation for the equivalent two-dimensional surface-current distributions on the surface of metallic enclosure including any number of rectangular apertures of arbit...

The intention of this study is the analysis of thermal behavior of functionally graded beam (FGB). The distribution of material properties is imitated exponential function. For thermal loading the steady state of heat conduction with exponentially and hyperbolic variations through the thickness of FGB, is considered. With comparing of thermal behavior of both isotropic beam and FGB, it is appea...
