semiconducting carbon nanofibers (cnf) are prepared from three different sources, i.e., acetylene, ethanol, and cotton by the chemical vapor deposition (cvd) process. these fibers are having rich elastic, engineering and conductivity properties. fresh self-compacting concrete (scc) flows into place and around obstructions under its own weight to fill the formwork completely and self-compact, wi...

This paper presents the thermal vibration analysis of double-layer graphene sheet embedded in polymer elastic medium, using the plate theory and nonlocal continuum mechanics for small scale effects. The graphene is modeled based on continuum plate theory and the axial stress caused by the thermal effects is also considered. Nonlocal governing equations of motion for this double-layer graphene s...

In this study, the free vibration analysis of smart vibration control (SVC) systems based on Reddy – Levinson model and modified strain gradient theory is developed. This system consist of a micro beam at middle and two magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composite micro beams at top and bottom which connected by enclosing elastic medium and simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. The effects ...

The phenomenon of buckling in compression of an elastic inhomogeneous medium under initial stress is well known. It is illustrated by the instability of a longitudinally compressed ‘elastic plate embedded in a medium of lower rigidity. Under a critical load buckling appears suddenly in the form of a sinusoidal folding of a certain wave-length. Such sudden buckling ,will, of course, not occur in...

We study the roughening transition of a (3+1)-dimensional elastic manifold, which is driven by the competition between a periodic pinning potential and a random impurity potential. The elastic manifold is modeled by a solid-on-solid-type interface model, and the universal properties of the transition from a flat phase (for strong periodic potential) to a rough phase (for strong random potential...

Using the force modulation mode in atomic force microscopy, we measured elastic properties of living mouse fibroblasts (NIH3T3) in a culture medium. The topographic images of the cellular surface and the corresponding elastic images of the cellular surface were able to be captured simultaneously with high spatial resolution. The consecutive images were useful for examining time-dependent change...

Intensity contrast in a fully developed speckle pattern resulting from the elastic scattering of a partially polarized light from a strongly scattering medium is theoretically and numerically studied. Simple expressions are derived when the illumination bandwidth is much smaller or larger than the chromatic length of the scattering medium.

We present the LHC predictions for the WHDG model of radiative, elastic, and path length fluctuating energy loss. We find the p⊥ dependence of RAA is qualitatively very different from AWS-based energy loss extrapolations to the LHC; the large p⊥ reach of the year one data at the LHC should suffice to distinguish between the two. We also discuss the importance of requiring a first elastic scatte...

In nonlinear elastic theory, the inverse bulk modulus K , for example, depends on the compression P: 1yKsPd ­ c0 1 c1P 1 c2P 1 · · · 1 cnP 1 · · · . Elastic materials that allow cracks are unstable at finite temperature with respect to fracture under a stretching load. As a result, the above power series has zero radius of convergence: it is an asymptotic series. For a two-dimensional isotropic...
