In the MST reversed field pinch the radial profile of the plasma rotation undergoes a rapid flattening during magnetic reconnection events. The reconnection events are repetitive (occurring as sawtooth crashes) and correspond to bursts of tearing instabilities. The radial transport of toroidal and poloidal momentum occurs faster than can be explained by collisions. We measure the change in mome...

The aim of this paper is to develop a model allowing fast first approximate estimation the elastic–plastic stress wave propagation caused by laser impact and resulting residual field. We start modeling propagation, adopting 1D uniaxial modeling, reducing behavior specimen axis impact, excluding any edge effects edges spot. plastic strain field from can in turn be used compute stresses, making u...

Osmotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and cold are major environmental factors that limit agricultural productivity worldwide. Protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation are major signalling events induced by osmotic stress in higher plants. Sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase2 family members play essential roles in response to hyperosmotic stresses in Arabidopsis, rice, and ma...

Novel analytical solutions with closed-form expressions for the stress and displacement fields of short fiber reinforced composites (SFRCs) prediction their effective thermo-elastic properties are presented. The cylindrical SFRC unit-cells periodic boundary conditions subjected to axial transverse stresses as well thermally induced residual stresses. By comparison available numerical solutions,...

Biochemical processes of tissue growth lead to production of new proteins, cells, and other material particles at the microscopic level. At the macroscopic level, growth is marked by the change of the tissue shape and mass. In addition, the appearance of the new material particles is generally accompanied by deformation and, consequently, stresses in the surrounding material. Built upon a micro...

the aim of this research is to investigate the effect of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (cfrp) composite fabric on monotonic and fatigue behaviors of reinforced concrete beams. to control the failure occurrence, a small notch was induced at the middle span in bottom surface for all of the studied rc specimens. totally 12 beams were tested from which 6 beams tested under monotonic and 6 other t...
