We use rigorous diffraction theory to analyze the force on elliptical cylinders made from silver as a function of the elongation. We find that, when the wires are illuminated at the plasmon wavelength and placed in a highly focused Gaussian beam, they are attracted toward the optical axis if the waist of the laser is behind the wire and repelled if the waist is before the wire. Also, the force ...

Hermetic reciprocating compressor with elliptical shell radiates noise whose frequency spectrum has a peak level at about 200 Hz and about 300 Hz. The 200 Hz and 300 Hz noise is mainly radiated from the top and the side of the compressor shell, respectively. For clarifying the noise radiation mechanism, experimental and theoretical analyses were performed. A noise source simulation test was set...

In this paper a highly polarization maintaining birefringent photonic crystal fiber at telecommunication window is reported via Full-Vectorial Finite Element Method (FV-FEM). By taking triangular lattice of three ring hexagonal structure PCF with suitable designing parameters such as symmetrical elliptical hole along radial axis of ellipticity a/b=5μm, air hole diameter d=1μm and pitch Λ=2.3μm,...

Polarization conversion cube-corner retroreflectors rotate the major axis of the incident electric field by 90°. We show that polarization conversion cube-corner retroreflectors cannot be created with isotropic reflecting surfaces, but can be created by incorporating nonisotropic reflecting surfaces. Two types are considered-cube corners with surfaces having elliptical eigenstates and cube corn...

Gauss-Lobatto quadrature formulae associated with symmetric weight functions are considered. The kernel of the remainder term for classes of analytic functions is investigated on elliptical contours. Sufficient conditions are found ensuring that the kernel attains its maximal absolute value at the intersection point of the contour with either the real or the imaginary axis. The results obtained...

In this paper a numerical method is used to study the unsteady state natural convection heat transfer within a confined porous media with uniform internal heat generation. The governing equations based on the Darcy model and Bossiness approximations are solved, using the finite difference Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method. The developed program was used to simulate natural convection ...
