A vital element in integrated optofluidics is dynamic tuning and precise control of photonic devices, especially when employing electronic techniques which are challenging to utilize in an aqueous environment. We overcome this challenge by introducing a new platform in which the photonic device is controlled using electro-optical phase tuning. The phase tuning is generated by the thermo-optic e...

In this article, electro-thermo nonlocal nonlinear vibration and instability of viscous-fluid-conveying double–walled boron nitride nanotubes (DWBNNTs) embedded on Pasternak foundation are investigated. The DWBNNT is simulated as a Timoshenko beam (TB) which includes rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation in the formulation. Considering electro-mechanical coupling, the nonlinear govern...

INTRODUCTION The Risk-Informed Safety Margin Characterization (RISMC) [1] Pathway (as part of the Light Water Sustainability (LWRS) Program [2]) aims to develop simulation-based tools and methods to assess risks for existing Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). This Pathway, by developing new methods, is extending the Probabilistic Risk assessment (PRA) stateof-the-practice methods [3] which have been ...

Verification of electro-mechanic models of the heart require a good amount of reliable, high resolution, thorough in-vivo measurements. The detail of the mathematical models used to create simulations of the heart beat vary greatly. Generally, the objective of the simulation determines the modeling approach. However, it is important to exactly quantify the amount of error between the various ap...
