In this paper, a monotone positive solution is studied for buckling of a distributed model of multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) cantilevers in the vicinity of thin and thick graphite sheets subject to intermolecular forces. In the modeling of intermolecular forces, Van der Waals forces are taken into account. A hybrid nano-scale continuum model based on Lennard–Jones potential is applied to ...

We explored the mapping between mass-count syntax and semantics, and how verb event semantics affect the meaning of derived nouns. In Experiment 1, we compared the interpretation of mass and count nouns derived from iterative verbs that describe bounded events (e.g., jump) and nouns derived from non-iterative verbs that describe unbounded events (e.g., dance). Participants based judgments prima...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of an iterative reconstruction algorithm named advanced modeled iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE) on improving image quality and reducing the radiation dose. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Catphan phantom (Phantom Lab, USA) was scanned on a SOMATOM Force CT scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Forchheim, Germany) with different exposure...

The shape of a uniformly rotating liquid droplet deposited on a solid substrate is determined by an iterative numerical integration of the governing nonlinear differential equation. The differential equation and the boundary conditions are derived by means of the variational analysis which delivers the expressions for the specific configurational force per unit area of the liquid/vapor interfac...

This article analyzes a strongly nonlinear oscillator with cubic and harmonic restoring force and proposes an efficient analytical technique based on the modified energy balance method (MEBM). The proposed method incorporates higher-order approximations. After applying the proposed MEBM, a set of complicated higher-order nonlinear algebraic equations are obtained. Higher-order nonlinear algebra...
