The static pull-in instability of beam-type micro-electromechanical systems is theoretically investigated. Two engineering cases including cantilever and double cantilever micro-beam are considered. Considering the mid-plane stretching as the source of the nonlinearity in the beam behavior, a nonlinear size-dependent Euler-Bernoulli beam model is used based on a modified couple stress theory, c...

background and aims. at present, cone beam computed tomography (cbct) has become a substitute for computed tomography (ct) in dental procedures. the metallic materials used in dentistry can produce artifacts due to the beam hardening phenomenon. these artifacts decrease the quality of images. in the present study, the number of artifacts as a result of beam hardening in the images of dental imp...

central granular cell odontogenic tumor) cgcot) of the jaw is an exceedingly rare benign odontogenic neoplasm with 35 reported cases in the literature. among these, very few studies have focused on the cone-beam ct features of cgcot. here, we report a case of an asymptomatic cgcot in a 16-year-old girl and focus on the cone-beam ct features. only 36 cases of this lesion, including this one, hav...

Recently, a large amount of studies have been related to nonlinear systems with multi-degrees of freedom as well as continuous systems. The purpose of this paper is to optimize passive vibration absorbers in linear and nonlinear states for an Euler-Bernoulli beam with a nonlinear vibratory behavior under concentrated moving load. The goal parameter in the optimization is maximum deflection of t...

Abstract This paper presents the developed software for processing parameter simulation and optimization of powder bed additive manufacturing by concentrated energy beams. The simulations are realized implementation a normalized diagram analytical model simulating heating layers moving linear heat source. Their is demonstrated electron beam or laser industrial alloys. provide useful reference m...

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...

abstract for investigating the effect of bed form in alluvial channels on the amount of bed load transport, a set of experiments was carried out in a tilting flume under unsteady flow conditions (hydrograph). the produced hydrographs were in triangular form with a maximum discharge of 30 to 45 lit/s/m. three size of sediment particles were used with equal to 1.5, 2.1 and 3.0mm, clear water with...
