In this work, the finite element simulation of dissimilar friction stir welding process is investigated. The welded materials are AA 6061-T6 and AA 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. For this purpose, a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical finite element model is developed according to the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method. The CEL method has the advantages of both Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches, whic...

Cllromatcqgq~ily has its main application in solving analytical problems, but since it can lx-oducc essentially l)ure conq~ounds, prcl~arativc methods are of interest for synthetic \vork, for those identification techniques which riced nig amounts and for isolation of minor constituents in mistures.

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a uniaxial perfectly matched layer (PML) method for solving the time-harmonic scattering problems in layered media. The exterior region of the scatterer is divided into two half spaces by an infinite plane, on two sides of which the wave number takes different values. We surround the computational domain where the scattering field is interested by a PML layer...

In this work we are concerned with an efficient numerical solution of a perfectly matched layer (PML) system for a Maxwell scattering problem. The PML system is discretized by the edge finite element method, resulting in a symmetric but indefinite complex algebraic system. When the real and imaginary parts are considered independently, the complex algebraic system can be further transformed int...

We consider efficient numerical solution of the Helmholtz equation in a rectangular domain with a perfectly matched layer (PML) or an absorbing boundary condition. Standard bilinear (trilinear) finite element discretization on an orthogonal mesh leads to a separable system of linear equations for which we describe a cyclic reduction type fast direct solver. We present numerical studies to estim...

The perfectly matched layer (PML) constitutive tensors that match more general linear media presenting bianisotropic and dispersive behavior are obtained for single interface problems and for two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) corner regions. The derivation is based on the analytic continuation of Maxwell’s equations to a complex variables domain. The formulation is Maxwellian so...

A thin-layer acrylamide gel electrophoresis technique suitable for analysis of serum or urine proteins is described in detail. The method gives sharp differentiation of protein fractions and is particularly suitable for the analysis of biological solutions containing proteins in low concentration.

Na2CO3. After 1 mm, 1.0mL of alkaline picrate reagent (500 mL saturated picric acid, 100 mL of 1 mol/L NaOH, and 1 mL of Triton X-100 per liter) is added. The absorbance change at 505 nm and 37 #{176}C is measured between 48 s and 7 mm after adding the picrate reagent. Under these conditions, samples of pooled sera from jaundiced patients showed negative interference, 35 mg of total bilirubin p...

A thin-film transistor (TFT) having an organic-inorganic hybrid thin film combines the advantage of TFT sensors and the enhanced sensing performance of hybrid materials. In this work, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles' hybrid thin film was fabricated by a spraying process as the active layer of TFT for the employment of a room temperature operated formaldehyde (HCHO) ...

the pull- out strength of the reinforcement has a significant role on the function of the most reinforced soil structures. since the coarse grain soils have a better interaction with the reinforcement, they are mostly used in these structures. in most situations, we have to transfer these granular soils from the borrow area, usually far from the site of the project. this will impose a considera...
