Dispersions of monodisperse macroionic spherical particles self assemble into bcc or fcc crystalline colloidal arrays (CCA), which efficiently Bragg diffract light in the near-IR, visible, and UV spectral regions, depending on the lattice constant and the crystal structure. We report here the observation of an anomalously intense “secondary diffraction”, which occurs at half the wavelength (λB/...

This study analyzes the free vibration, forced vibration, resonance, and stress wave propagation of orthotropic sandwich plates made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). Dynamic analyses are conducted using a mesh-free method based on first-order shear deformation theory and the shape functions constructed using moving least squares approximation. The sandwich plates are rested on a Pastern...

l'utilisation de nouvaux materiaux aux caracteristiques mecaniques elevtes et le perfectionement continu des methodes de calcu1,incitent les constructeur a edifier des structures de plus cn plus elancees , de ce fait le probleme du flambement prend une importance sans cesse accrue. la prtsente etude se rapporte a etablir les equations intrinseques d'une poutre droite a section constan...

a new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2d orthotropic materials using the well-known element free galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. the element free galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. in this study, element free galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...

Given any number eld and Dirichlet character for that eld, we construct a theta function on a restricted product of p-adic half-planes. An explicit formula for the theta multiplier is obtained through local calculations.

This paper derives, for the first time, the complete set of three-dimensional Green’s functions (displacements, stresses, and derivatives of displacements and stresses with respect to the source point), or the generalized Mindlin solutions, in an anisotropic half-space ~z.0! with general boundary conditions on the flat surface z50. Applying the Mindlin’s superposition method, the half-space Gre...

In this paper, the strain-based and stressbased methods for solving optimal orientation problems of orthotropic materials are studied. Closed form solutions for both methods are derived and classified. The optimal orientation of both shear “weak” and some shear “strong” orthotropic materials may coincide with the major principal stress direction in the stress-based method. Similar results from ...

The Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is a new medical imaging method combining electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and current injection MRI technique. In this paper, we show the uniqueness in MREIT problem with an orthotropic conductivity under the hypothesis that the ratios of conductivities are known. Based on an effective numerical differentiation method and an a...
