FIG. 1.—Alternative explanations of strata exhibiting progradational followed by retrogradational stacking. In Interpretation 1, the switch in stacking patterns is interpreted as a combined type I sequence boundary (SB(I)) and transgressive surface (TS), underlain by the highstand systems tract (HST) and overlain by the transgressive systems tract (TST). In Interpretation II, the switch in stac...

We demonstrate a method to control the Fermi level around Van Hove singularity (VHS) in Li-intercalated graphene on SiC substrate. By angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we observed clear Lifshitz transition vicinity of VHS when thickness exceeds four layers. calculated band structure multilayer system with different stacking sequences and Li layer. The so-called stage 2 model reproduces...

Abstract In the present work, response of composite hybrid laminates made carbon and glass fibers in different stacking configurations was tested under low-velocity impact loads. Experimental drop tests were conducted on three sequences rising energy levels. The results from assumed for development validation a numerical model reproducing each sequence all levels, response. validated investigat...

The natural frequency of cantilevered bistable carbon/epoxy reeled composite (BRC) slit tubes constructed from combinations of braided and unidirectional (UD) plies is optimized with respect to fiber orientation angles and laminate stacking sequences. BRC tubes have the same geometry as a carpenter’s tape; however, they also have a second stable configuration in the coiled state, and it is cons...

We show that either of the following hypotheses imply that there is an inner model with a proper class of strong cardinals and a proper class of Woodin cardinals. 1) There is a countably closed cardinal κ ≥ א3 such that κ and (κ) fail. 2) There is a cardinal κ such that κ is weakly compact in the generic extension by Col(κ, κ). Of special interest is 1) with κ = א3 since it follows from PFA by ...
