been detected and their relations between the magnetic properties and the Mn-Mn interatomic distances and between the magnetic properties and the number of valence electrons have been investigated(17). Further studies have been carried out on the pseudo-ternary compounds Au1-xCuxMnSb(18), Pt1-xNixMnSb and Pt1-xCuxMnSb(19) which substituted mutually the first elements in AuMnSb and CuMnSb, PtMnS...

An analytical and numerical solution for the free vibration of laminated polymeric composite plates with different layups is studied in this paper. The governing equations of the laminated composite plates are derived from the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). General layups are evaluated by the assumption of cross-ply and angle-p...

This paper presents the analysis of vibration control of a laminated composite beam that including magnetostrictive layers. The formulation of problem is presented based on the shear deformation beam theory. For vibration suppression, the velocity feedback control with constant gain distributed is considered. Navier's method is applied to analyze the solution of vibration suppression of laminat...

In this paper, mini-channel type evaporator which is new in mobile air conditioning (MAC) or automotive air conditioning (AAC) systems is thermally modeled. The performance of mini-channel evaporator is also compared with the laminated evaporator which is being currently used in automotive industries. The mini-channel evaporator was constructed of two rows of parallel flow mini-channel tubes...

In the construction of polarization beam-splitters (PBS) and switches a structure can be employed, that is based on the birefringence of periodically laminated dielectric thin films [2,7]. In this work we derive an estimate of the split angle in laminated polarization splitters behaving as negative uniaxial crystals, in the case of oblique incidence. This analysis has been applied to an artific...

This paper addresses an inverse approach to estimate the frequency-dependent Young’s modulus of a viscoelastic polymer layer in a laminated structure. The Young’s modulus is parameterized by a fractional derivative model and examined from a Bayesian perspective with the consideration of measurement and modeling uncertainties. The probabilthe use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling methods. The...

The focus of this research is the stress laminated timber cellular deck. The testing program has involved application of loads that modelled both the design serviceability and design ultimate conditions, and identified slip and load redistribution mechanisms, which occur at the limit state of linear composite behaviour. This paper presents a summary of the results of this testing and discusses ...

cystic hydatid disease is caused by cystic larval (metacestode) stages of echinococcus granulosus. this parasite can potentially occur all over the world especially in mediterranean and middle east countries and some parts of africa, latin america and china which have major foci of human infections. the cyst wall of metacestodes consists of inner, middle and external layers. to date, little att...

This paper describes work on alternative technologies associated with an urban maglev system that employs Halbach arrays of permanent magnets onboard a moving vehicle to induce levitating currents in a stationary “track”. A laminated structure, composed of stacks of thin conducting sheets, has several advantages over a litz-cable ladder as the track. Modeling and experimental results for the la...

The strain of an optical fiber, embedded in a composite laminated plate, was measured using radio frequency iiiterferometery. While the response of a similar fiber glued to the plate was linear with the applied loading, the strain experienced by the embedded fiber exhibited significant fluctuations around the linear expected trend. This phenomenon is qualitatively described in terms ofpolarizat...
