Abstract The structural and electrostatic properties of the single-walled two representative (8, 0) zigzag and (4, 4) armchair models of pristine and GaAs-doped on boron phosphide nanotubes (BPNTs) was investigated by calculating the nuclear magnetic resonance tensors and with performing the density function theory. The geometrical structures of all representative pristine and GaAs-doped mode...

This article presents a constrained optimization method, based on the duality theory, which does not need the gradients. The method is used to optimize superconducting devices. In order to reduce the computing effort, the initial optimization problem is divided into two coupled optimization problems. One manages the geometrical parameters, the other finds the best current densities for a given ...

In this paper, the synthesis of a three-band planar antenna working in the GSM (900 and 1800 MHz) and UMTS frequency bands is presented. As reference geometry, a hybrid prefractal shape has been adopted by integrating a Sierpinski-like and a Meander-like structure. The synthesis of the antenna has been performed by optimizing the descriptive geometrical parameters of the reference shape by mean...

some physical properties such as geometrical, gravimetrical, frictional and aerodynamic features of seeds of desi chickpea and its splits were studied at a moisture content of 8.2 and 9.0% w., respectively from north-western of iran. geometrical and gravimetrical properties including the average length, width, thickness, the geometric mean of diameter, sphericity, 1000-seed weight, unit weight,...

in this paper, a systematic approach is presented for optimal design of tunnel support lining using two-dimensional finite element analysis models of soil-structure interaction developed in abaqus software and the modified colliding bodies optimization (mcbo) algorithm implemented in matlab environment. this approach is then employed to study the influence of variable geometrical and geo-mechan...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the comparative geometrical dimensions of Chinese and Western cervical vertebrae. A Chinese neck model, based on MRI/CT scan images and frozen slice images from a 35-year-old male cadaver, was established and compared with literature data and a newlydeveloped Western neck finite element model. Results showed that the geometrical dimensions of Western ...

The effects of melt-pool geometrical parameters on crystal growth and microstructure development during laser surface melting of single-crystal alloys were studied by means of mathematical modeling and experiments. A mathematical model was developed for the three-dimensional (3-D) melt-pool geometry and single-crystalline melt-pool solidification in laser surface melting. The 3-D meltpool geome...
