In this paper, we perform a detailed study of the spectral response of the gold U-shaped nano-structures for different geometrical parameters and polarizations in order to obtain significant localization factor in the wavelength 1.55 μm. The obtained near-field distribution of electric fields reveals that resonances in these nano-structures correspond to the even and odd plasmonic modes dependi...

In this study, two-dimensional electro-mechanical analysis of a composite rotating shaft subjected to non-axisymmetric internal pressure and applied voltage is investigated where hollow piezoelectric shaft reinforced by boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFRC) theory and a representative volume element has been cons...

Metal oxide surge arresters (ZNO) are used widely in power system to protect equipments from over voltages. Non uniform potential distribution leads to the depressed service life and low safe reliability, so grading ring is applied on HV surge arrester order to uniform the electric field distribution. One of the problems of arresters is leakage current in power frequency that different paramet...

Background: Cellular biomechanics can be manipulated by strong electric fields, manifested by the field-induced membrane deformation and migration (galvanotaxis), which significantly impacts normal cellular physiology. Artificial giant vesicles that mimic the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane have been used to investigate the membrane biomechanics subjected to electric fields. Under a s...

Size-dependent vibrational and instability behavior of fluid-conveying magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) tubular nano-beam subjected to magneto-electric potential and thermal field has been analyzed in this study. Considering the fluid-conveying nanotube as an Euler-Bernoulli beam, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) equations are derived by using non-classical constitutive relations for MEE material...

The present research identifies and prioritizes the effective organizational structure components using content (theme) analysis and Delphi technique and hierarchical analysis (Case Study of Regional Electric Companies of Iran). The present study is applied  based on purpose and is exploratory-survey based on the nature and method of data collection. The statistical population of this study inc...

first principle calculations were performed using density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (lsda) to understand the electronic properties of au(100)+tbt system and compare the results with au(100) and bulk au properties. band structure, the total dos and charge density for these materials are calculated. we found that the homo for au(100)+tbt becomes broader than au...

Observational campaigns of the mid-latitude ionosphericE-region with sounding rockets and ground-based instruments were conducted in 1996 (SEEK) and 2002 (SEEK2). Both of them were successfully conducted to bring important findings about the mid-latitude E-region and quasiperiodic (QP) VHF radar echoes. The observational results in the SEEK and the SEEK-2 are compared with numerical simulations...
