In this article, thermal stability of beams made of functionally graded material (FGM) is considered. The derivations of equations are based on the one-dimensional theory of elasticity. The material properties vary continuously through the thickness direction. Tanigawa's model for the variation of Poisson's ratio, the modulus of shear stress, and the coefcient of thermal expansion is considered...

Flame stability inside a cylindrical micro-combustor was studied. Considering occurrence of heat recirculation, the respective relations were written and with parameters such as motion speed of reactants, flame propagation speed and thermal conductivity of the combustor’s wall, flame stability and its location inside micro-combustor were studied. It was found that for each thermal conductivity ...

In this paper we assessed the ability of modulators of the activity of glycogen phosphorylase b from the fat body of larval Manduca sexta to stabilize the enzyme against thermal denaturation. This approach has allowed us to distinguish between modulators that stabilize the enzyme, presumably through some conformational effect, from those that do not affect thermal stability. For example, 5'-AMP...

Lasso peptides are fascinating natural products with a unique structural fold that can exhibit tremendous thermal stability. Here, we investigate factors responsible for the thermal stability of caulosegnin II. By employing X-ray crystallography, mutational analysis and molecular dynamics simulations, the ring residue proline 8 was proven to be crucial for thermal stability.

Polypyrrole–hydroxyethylcellulose/TitaniumDioxide (PPy-HEC/TiO2) nanocomposite was synthesized via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method at room temperature in water and water/ethyl acetate solution in the presence of ferric chloride (FeCl3). The effect of TiO2 nanoparticles and HEC on the characteristics of products such as thermal stability and morphology was investigated. The fabr...

nickel hydroxide nanostructures were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. the effect of different precursors and surfactants on the morphology of nickel hydroxide nanostructures was investigated. nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared  spectroscopy. the influence of ni(oh)2 nano...

We have studied the magnetic reversal and thermal stability of [Co(0.3 nm)/Pd(0.7 nm)]N multilayers patterned into 35-nm-diameter nanodot arrays. The short-time coercive fields are relatively constant with N while the room-temperature thermal stability parameter increases nearly linearly with N. However the magnetic switching volume extracted from the thermal stability is significantly less tha...

in this work, thermal degradation behavior of a fuel-rich energetic mixture containing epoxy binder was studied by thrmogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry under dynamic nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates. variation of the thermal degradation activation energy of the mixture was evaluated by differential and integral isoconversional methods via akts software p...
