AbstractIn this study, the stress analysis of YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2/Ni architextured materials under cryogenic conditions was carried out for coated conductor applications. YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2 multilayer films were fabricated on Ni tape substrate using reel-to-reel sol-gel and Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) systems. The microstructural evolution of high temperature superconducting YBCO film and buffe...

The Hilbert modular surface XD is the moduli space of Abelian varieties A with real multiplication by a quadratic order of discriminant D > 1. The locus where A is a product of elliptic curves determines a finite union of algebraic curves XD(1) ⊂ XD. In this paper we show the lamination XD(1) extends to an essentially unique foliation FD of XD by complex geodesics. The geometry of FD is related...

In [Mi4,BrocCM1], Minsky, Brock and Canary gave a proof of Thurston’s Ending Lamination Conjecture for indecomposable hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this paper, we offer another approach to this which was inspired by the original. Many of the key results are similar, though the overall logic is somewhat different. A possible advantage is that much of the relevant theory of “hierarchies” and other, ...

In this paper, a size-dependent formulation for the Bernoulli-Euler beam is developed based on a new model of couple stress theory presented by Hadjesfandiari and Dargush. The constitutive equation obtained in this new model, consists of only one length scale parameter that is capable of capturing the micro-structural size effect in predicting the mechanical behavior of the structure. Having on...

this paper presents a novel formulation and numerical solutions for adhesively bonded composite joints with non-linear (softening) adhesive behaviour. the presented approach has the capability of choosing arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. in this model adherends are orthotropic laminates that obey classical lamination theory. the stacking sequences can be either symmetric or asymmetri...

In this paper the nano conical shell model is developed based on modified strain gradient theory. The governing equations of the nano truncated conical shell are derived using the FSDT, and the size parameters through modified strain gradient theory have been taken into account. Hamilton’s principle is used to obtain the governing equations, and the shell’s equations of motion are derived with ...

Abstract In the present investigation, laminated composite beams subjected to a bending static loading are studied in order determine their failure mechanisms and first ply (FPF) load. The FPF analysis is performed using refined rectangular plate element. element formulated based on classical lamination theory (CLT) calculate in-plane stresses. To achieve this goal, several criterions, includin...

We construct Colding-Minicozzi limit minimal laminations in open domains in R with the singular set of C-convergence being any properly embedded C-curve. By Meeks’ C-regularity theorem, the singular set of convergence of a Colding-Minicozzi limit minimal lamination L is a locally finite collection S(L) of C-curves that are orthogonal to the leaves of the lamination. Thus, our existence theorem ...
