We derive an effective plate theory for internally stressed thin elastic layers as are used e.g. in the fabrication of nanoand microscrolls. The shape of the energy minimizers of the effective energy functional is investigated without a priori assumptions on the geometry. For configurations in two dimensions (corresponding to Euler-Bernoulli theory) we also take into account a non-interpenetrat...

In this paper, an investigation of linear eigenvalue buckling functionally graded material (FGM) plates under uniaxial loading is carried out. The computer model analyzed using the finite element (FE) package ABAQUS. An analysis out to study effect size and geometry openings in FGM plate on critical load. circular, square, diamond vary based ratio opening diameter width plate. Moreover, aspect ...

Characterization of back surface roughness is investigated for specimens exhibiting corrosion and for prepared samples with milled channels of varying geometry. An area heating source is used initially to provide one-dimensional heating of the specimen which allows plate thinning, disbanding, or presence of corrosion to be rapidly detected. A focused heating source is then used to characterize ...

We predict that the near-field radiative heat-transfer rate between a cylinder and a perforated surface depends nonmonotonically on their separation. This anomalous behavior, which arises due to evanescent-wave effects, is explained using a heuristic model based on the interaction of a dipole with a plate. We show that nonmonotonicity depends not only on geometry and temperature but also on mat...

PURPOSE To quantify the clinically observed dose enhancement adjacent to cranial titanium fixation plates during post-operative radiotherapy. METHODS Irradiation of a titanium burr hole cover was simulated using Monte Carlo code MCNPX for a 6 MV photon spectrum to investigate backscatter dose enhancement due to increased production of secondary electrons within the titanium plate. The simulat...

The ALPS (Advanced Locking Plate System) fracture fixation system is a novel internal fracture fixation device designed and produced by Kyon Veterinary Surgical Products of Switzerland. Compared to conventional internal fixation systems the ALPS system is designed to reduce the rate of surgical infection, improve the rate of fracture healing, and improve surgical application versatility. All AL...

In this work, we propose a rapid calibration technique for locating the projector in structured light measurement system. Using Brox optical flow, of three-dimensional (3-D) coordinates only requires two images captured before and after motion plate. The principle presented geometry depicts relation between position projector, camera, flow caused by movement Some important influences on accurac...
