A 14 MeV neutron generator described in this paper.Neutrons are produced in D-T, D-D,T-T reactions. The production of 14 MeV neutrons from DD neutrons generator resulting from tritium build up from d(d,p)t reaction in the target under 30mA, 300 KeV deuteron beam, bombarding a water-cooled, rotating target, size of beam spot on target is 1.8 cm is obtained. An estimate of the capital cost 14 MeV...

Abstract--L-shaped beams subjected to pure elastic-plastic bending are investigated thoroughly. The shifting and rotating of the neutral axis of the beam during bending and springback after unloading are described mathematically, while the curvatures of the beam before and after springback are given. The method proposed in this paper is valuable both to the further theoretical studies of the as...

We show how a passive image-rotating optical resonator can be used to convert a linearly polarised, lowest-order Gaussian beam into a radially polarized beam. The image and polarization rotation of the cavity removes the frequency degeneracy of the modes, making it possible to select the radially polarized mode by cavity tuning. With the addition of gain, the same cavity should operate as a rad...

Introduction: Treatment with megavoltage electron beams is ideal for irradiating superficial tumors because of their limited range in tissues. However, for electron treatment of extended areas, such as the chest wall, two or more adjacent fields can be used. Abutment of these fields may lead to significant dose in homogeneities in the junction region. The aim of this study is to offer a new met...

Rotating beams are considerably used in different mechanical and aeronautical installations. In this paper, free vibration of non-prismatic rotating Euler-Bernoulli beams is studied. Dynamic stiffness matrix is evaluated by using differential transform method, a powerful numerical tool in solution of ordinary differential equations, for solving the governing equation of motion. The method is ca...

Micrometer-sized reflection holograms can be written into a rapidly rotating homogeneous photopolymer disk at the focus of a high-numerical-aperture beam and its retroreflection to implement high-capacity multilayer digital data storage. This retroreflection is generated by an optical system with positive unity magnification to ensure passive alignment of the counterpropagating beam. Analysis r...

An efficient formulation for dynamic analysis of planar Timoshenko’s beam with finite rotations is presented. Both an inertial frame and a rotating frame are introduced to simplify computational manipulation. The kinetic energy of the system is obtained by using the inertial frame so that it takes a quadratic uncoupled form. The rotating frame together with the small strain assumption is employ...

This paper presents a quantitative method to determine the profile of the residual stress through the depth nf a highly boren-depod silicon film. First, the stress profile relative to the stress at the neutral surface of the film is determines by least-square estimation using the measured vertical deflection of p+ silicon cantilevers with different etch depths. Secondly, the average of the resi...
