Most natural and man-made fibers have circular cross-sections; thus the properties of materials composed of non-circular fibers are largely unexplored. We demonstrate the technology for fabricating fibers with predetermined cross-sectional shape. Passive hydrodynamic focusing and UV polymerization of a shaped acrylate stream produced metre-long fibers for structural and mechanical characterizat...

: We study numerically the phonon dispersion relations and corresponding displacement fields for a circular cross-section nanowire superlattices consisting of anisotropic GaN and AlN. We determine a set of parameters which gives complete phononic bandgaps. The results suggest the potential for manipulating phonons in the micro/nano electromechanical systems.

This paper is concerned with the application of finite element methods to obtain solutions for steady fully developed generalized Newtonian flows in a curved pipe of circular cross-section and arbitrary curvature ratio, under a given axial pressure gradient. c © 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd

We study possible deformations of BPS supertubes keeping their conserved charges fixed. We show that there is no flat direction to closed supertubes of circular cross section with uniform electric and magnetic fields, and also to open planar supertubes. We also find that there are continuously infinite flat deformations to supertubes of general shape under certain conditions.

One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...
