Compact neutron detectors are being designed and tested for use as low-power real-time personnel dosimeters. The neutron detectors are pin diodes that are mass produced from high-purity Si wafers. Each detector has thousands of circular perforations etched vertically into the device. The perforations are backfilled with LiF to make the pin diodes sensitive to thermal neutrons. The prototype dev...

the available shear correction factors have mainly been developed for homogeneous isotropic plates and/or assuming that no shear tractions are imposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. in the present research, a more general case of a circular functionally graded plate subjected to non-uniform normal and shear tractions at the top and bottom surfaces is considered. these non-uniform ...

In this paper, an active polarization conversion metasurface (APCM) operating in the X-band (8–12 GHz) is presented. Active unit cells consist of three metal layers and two substrate layers. Anisotropic patches, positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diodes, bias lines are integrated into surface layer to form a chiral structure. A simple efficient function realized designed The mode switched betwee...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to investigate the overall performance of a pin fin.The following study will examine the effect of governing parameters on overall thermal/fluid performance associated with different fin geometries, including, rectangular plate fins as well as square, circular, and elliptical pin fins. The idea of entropy generation minimization, EGM is employed to ...

present paper is devoted to stress and deformation analyses of heated variable thickness functionally graded (fg) circular plate with clamped supported, embedded on a gradient elastic foundation and subjected to non-uniform transverse load. the plate is coupled by an elastic medium which is simulated as a winkler- pasternak foundation with gradient coefficients in the radial and circumferential...

A three-dimensional heat transfer model for friction stir welding (FSW) is presented in this paper; a moving coordinate is introduced to reduce the difficulty of modeling the moving tool. Heat input from the tool shoulder and the tool pin are considered in the model. The finite difference method was applied in solving the control equations. A non-uniform grid mesh is generated for the calculati...

In the present paper notch loaded shorted microstrip patch antenna has been analyzed using cavity model. The proposed antenna shows dual band operation which depends on notch dimensions as well as shorting pin. The frequency ratio is found to be 1.75 for the notch loaded circular patch antenna. The theoretical results are compared with IE3D simulation.

This study focuses on perforated pin fin convection heat transfer. study's goal is to see if fins may help transmit heat. Perforation diameter and hole count are evaluated each pin. The Nusselt number of pins 47% higher than solid pins, it increases with perforation count. Unperforated have a 19% lower pressure drop. Using circular holes as sinks, we examined forced There were perforations. The...
