Modeling of liquid ceramic precursor droplets axially injected into a plasma is presented. Droplets undergo heating and solvent vaporization leading to high solute concentration near droplet surface. At a critical solute super-saturation concentration, precipitation is postulated to occur forming a precipitate shell around liquid core. Internal pressurization and rupture of shell occur subseque...

This paper analyzes the adequacy of shell models for predicting stresses and strains in thick-walled tubes subjected to detonation loads. Of particular interest are the large axial strains which are produced at the inner and outer surfaces of the tube due to bending along the tube axis. First, comparisons between simple shell theory and a static finite element model are used to show that the ax...

Contrary to a paradigm of metal-enhanced fluorescence, unusually thick dielectric coatings can be very favorable achieve extreme values averaged fluorescence enhancement factor $\bar F\gtrsim 3000$ for emitters located on the surface, or in interior, shell Au@dielectric spherical core-shell particles under realistic conditions, even with 100% intrinsic quantum yield. Thick facilitate high-quali...

The great application potential for two-dimensional (2D) membranes (MoS2, WSe2, graphene and so on) aroused much effort to understand their fundamental mechanical properties. The out-of-plane bending rigidity is the key factor that controls the membrane morphology under external fields. Herein we provide an easy method to reconstruct the 3D structures of the folded edges of these 2D membranes o...
