the mechanical properties including elastic stiffness constants as well as bulk modulus of palladium (pd) nanowire were calculated in the constant temperature and pressure (npt), ensemble by molecular dynamics (md) simulation technique. the quantum sutton-chen (q-sc) many-body potential was used to calculate the cohesive energy as well as forces experience by every atoms. the temperature and pr...

the use of agriculture residues as filler in composites is increasing due to their strength, abundance and low cost. soya stalks show promising renewable natural fiber. in polyethylene composites the physical and mechanical properties (flexural resistance, tensile, impacted absorbed energy, water uptake and thickness swelling) was examined at different composites. the results showed that, the m...

objective: endothelium is a selective and permeable membrane for transferring nutrients and vital components to arterial wall. endothelial damage might lead to altered biological function of endothelium and clinical consequences such as atherosclerosis. blood pressure pulse always exerts circumferential tension to the arterial wall. hence, such tension together with other loads, play important ...

In this paper a composite plate with similar unidirectional fibers is considered. Assuming orthotropic structure, theory of elasticity is used for investigating the stress concentration. Also, complex variable functions are utilized for solving the plane stress problems. Then the effective characteristics of this plate are studied numerically by using ANSYS software. In this research a volume e...
