Earlier [I], it was shown that certain reinforced holes may be designed for elastic, isotropic plane sheets that do not alter the stress state in the cut sheet, for particular types of planar loading. In this work, this methodology is extended to symmetrically laminated composite plates which are under planar loading, and additionally pure bending moments. Since these two types of loading lead ...

Ga2O3/Ag/Ga2O3-laminated films with high electrical conductivity and ultraviolet (UV) transparency were achieved by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at room temperature (RT) on quartz glass. The influence of annealing ambient the structural, optical properties investigated in detail. As increases, bandgap Ga2O3-laminated widens. exhibited good photoelectric performance a figure-of-merit (FO...

Fundamental questions about the relative arrangement of the beta-sheet arrays within amyloid fibrils remain central to both its structure and the mechanism of self-assembly. Recent computational analyses suggested that sheet-to-sheet lamination was limited by the length of the strand. On the basis of this hypothesis, a short seven-residue segment of the Alzheimer's disease-related Abeta peptide...

A variety of naturally occurring biomaterials owe their unusual structural and mechanical properties to layers of beta-sheet proteins laminated between layers of inorganic mineral. To explore the possibility of fabricating novel two-dimensional protein layers, we studied the self-assembly properties of de novo proteins from a designed combinatorial library. Each protein in the library has a dis...
