In this paper, acoustic radiation response of thin-walled box with particle dampers is predicted. First, the effect of the collisions and friction between the granular inter-particles is interpreted as an equivalent nonlinear viscous damping based on multiphase flow theory of gas-particle. Then the contribution of particle damper is estimated as an equivalent mass-damper system. And the acousti...

The noise characteristics of randomly networked single-walled carbon nanotubes grown directly by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) are studied with field effect transistors (FETs). Due to the geometrical complexity of nanotube networks in the channel area and the large number of tube-tube/tube-metal junctions, the inverse frequency, 1/f, dependence of the noise shows a similar l...

Thin-walled tubular structures are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace and military because of their lightweight excellent performance under different loading conditions. This study aimed to investigate the lateral crushing square aluminium tubes filled with cores (honeycomb, polyurethane foam mixed these two fillers). Different failure modes tested have been observed they p...

A 42-year-old female patient was admitted for recurrent bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax. High resolution computed tomography showed bilateral pneumothorax and numerous round and oval, thin-walled lung cysts. Microscopically, each small cyst was composed of distended subpleural alveolar spaces. Tumor cells, characteristic of acinar adenocarcinoma, obstructed and narrowed the terminal bronchio...

A closed form expression for the torsion constant of thin-walled multicell profiles is derived based on a simple algorithm to generate the coefficient matrix of the system of linear algebraic equations for the shear flows. New explicit results are given for the three-cell profiles with either two or three internal walls, and for the two-cell profiles. They are applied to derive the optimal loca...

To solve the problems that the low rigidity thin-walled part is easy to deform in NC milling process and some parts of the complex surface is difficult to process, this paper points out the measures for increasing accuracy of thin-walled NC machining process from the selection of material and blank, the choice of machine tool, the determination and optimization of the clamping method, the choic...

This study presents a multi-walled poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate hydrogel tube formed by the simple self-folding of a bi-layered hydrogel patch. The gel tube has the capability to release encapsulated molecules through designated pathways in a sustained manner. Therefore, the gel tube encapsulating the vascular endothelial growth factor significantly increases the vascular densities and vess...

To maximize the controllable energy absorption of corrugation troughs as observed in the single sided corrugated (SSC) tube, we proposed and tested a new structure design, i.e., double-sided corrugated (DSC) tube made of Al 6060-T6 aluminum alloy or CF1263 carbon/epoxy composite. Finite element models were developed to test the mechanical advantage of the DSC tube in comparison with both SSC an...

In this article, the results of a study on energy absorption characteristics of foam-filled thin-walled structures with finite element analysis have been presented. Four specimens of thin walled structures have been filled with uniform foam and three specimens have been filled with linear four-layered foam. Also, eight layers HLH (High-Low-High) and eight layers LHL (Low-High-Low) have been sim...

Background: Hydrosalpinx is a common cause of female infertility1 and adversely affects the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Although IVF is the main treatment, alternative treatments, such as salpingectomy and functional tubal surgery have been suggested.2 Previously, hydrosalpinx was diagnosed using tubal patency tests (transvaginal ultrasound, TVUS; hysterosalpingography, HSG; and l...
