In order to design and optimize high-sensitivity silicon nanowire-field-effect transistor (SiNW FET) pressure sensors, this paper investigates the effects of channel orientations and the uniaxial stress on the ballistic hole transport properties of a strongly quantized SiNW FET placed near the high stress regions of the pressure sensors. A discrete stress-dependent six-band k.p method is used f...

We study the one-dimensional ballistic aggregation process in the continuum limit for one-sided Brownian initial velocity (i.e. particles merge when they collide and move freely between collisions, and in the continuum limit the initial velocity on the right side is a Brownian motion that starts from the origin x = 0). We consider the cases where the left side is either at rest or empty at t = ...

This paper presents the ballistic limit for the non-filled aluminium tank. The main objective was to determine the ballistic limit for the front and rear wall of the tank. In the experiment study, the aluminium tank was 3 mm thick, 150 mm wide and 750 mm long. It was impacted by the fragment simulating projectile (FSP) with the velocity from 239 m/s up to 556 m/s. The numerical models were crea...

Performance limits of silicon MOSFETs are examined by a simple analytical theory augmented by self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson simulations. The on-current, transconductance, and drain-to-source resistance in the ballistic limit (which corresponds to the channel length approaching zero) are examined. The ballistic transconductance in the limit that the oxide thickness approaches zero is also ...

In this research, quasi-static penetration and ballistic properties of non-woven kenaf fibres/Kevlar epoxy hybrid laminates with thicknesses ranging from 3.1 mm to 10.8 mm by hard projectile at normal incidence have been experimentally investigated. Hybrid composites were fabricated by hand lay-up technique in a mould and cured at room temperature for 24 h by static load. Hybrid composites cons...

A variety of approaches have been applied to describe the collective properties of traffic flows [1]. For example, to mimic congested traffic flow in two dimensions, cellular automation models have been proposed [2,3]. Asymmetric hopping processes have also been applied to model traffic flow on a one-dimensional road [4-6]. When the number of cars is large, traffic flows can be modelled phenome...

Current study reported a facile method to investigate the effects of stacking sequence layers of hybrid composite materials on ballistic energy absorption by running the ballistic test at the high velocity ballistic impact conditions. The velocity and absorbed energy were accordingly calculated as well. The specimens were fabricated from Kevlar, carbon, and glass woven fabrics and resin and wer...

We analyze diffusion processes with finite propagation speed in a non-homogeneous medium terms of the heterogeneous telegrapher’s equation. In limit infinite-velocity we recover results for process. The process exhibits rich variety regimes including hyperdiffusion, ballistic motion, superdiffusion, normal and subdiffusion, different crossover dynamics characteristic complex systems which anoma...
