Thick shells have attracted much attention in recent years as intelligent and functional graded materials because of their unique properties. In this review paper, some critical issues and problems in the development of thick shells made from Functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) are discussed. This review has been conducted on various types of methods which are available for thick ...

An optical vortex soliton induces a graded-index waveguide over an extended propagation distance in a self-defocusing nonlinear optical medium. Using numerical techniques, we determine the waveguide dispersion and optimal size of the guided beam.

Computer Generated Holography achieves patterned illumination at the sample plane through phase modulation of the laser beam at the objective back aperture. This is obtained by using liquid crystal-based spatial light modulators (LC-SLMs), which modulate the spatial phase of the incident laser beam. A variety of algorithms is employed to calculate the phase modulation masks addressed to the LC-...

We present a study of undoped AlGaN/GaN separate confinement heterostructures designed to operate as electron beam pumped ultraviolet lasers. discuss the effect spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization on carrier diffusion, comparing results cathodoluminescence with electronic simulations band structure Monte Carlo calculations trajectories. Carrier collection is significantly improved using ...

The present study investigates buckling characteristics of both nonlinear symmetric power and sigmoid functionally graded (FG) beams. The volume fractions of metal and ceramic are assumed to be distributed through a beam thickness by the sigmoid-law distribution (S-FGM), and the symmetric power function (SP-FGM). These functions have smooth variation of properties across the boundary rather tha...

   The main purpose of the present investigation is to analyze more comprehensively the size-dependent nonlinear free vibration response of multilayer functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (GPLRC) nanobeams. As a consequence, both of the hardening stiffness and softening stiffness of size effect are taken into consideration by implementation of the nonlocal str...

let $g$ be a group with identity $e$. let $r$ be a $g$-graded commutative ring with a non-zero identity and $m$ be a graded $r$-module. in this article, we introduce the concept of graded almost semiprime submodules. also, we investigate some basic properties of graded almost semiprime and graded weakly semiprime submodules and give some characterizations of them.

In this paper, we study two different Graded Index (GRIN) photonic crystal (PC) structures which are named as structure type I and type II. The PC structures are made of the square rod in an air background. To design a GRIN PC structure the lattice constant has been altered in the direction transverse to propagation. We investigated focusing effect             and waveguiding behavior of electr...

In CEBAF, the electron beam from the injector must be sufficiently relativistic to match a 1 GeV recirculated beam in the first linac. The electron beam is produced with a — 130 keV electron gun, then accelerated by a room temperature, graded-beta standing wave linac, capture section, from 130 keV to 510 keV before enters two 5-cell superconducting RF cavities for further acceleration. Present ...
