Structural damage in materials evolves over time due to growth of fatigue cracks in homogenous materials and a complicated process of matrix cracking, delamination, fiber breakage and fiber matrix debonding in composite materials. In this study, a finite element model of the helicopter rotor blade is used to analyze the effect of damage growth on the modal frequencies in a qualitative manner. P...

Spectroscopy and direct imaging of Qll 15+080A,B,C with a CCD camera supports the hypothesis that they are gravitational images of a single object. Spectroscopy of the C m] ;\I909 emission line shows all the images to have identical spectra and redshifts (to within IOO km s 1), except that Bis slightly redder. The position and brightness of the three images has been accurately measured; the ima...

We study the anomalous flux ratio which is observed in some four-image lens systems, where the source lies close to a fold caustic. In this case two of the images are close to the critical curve and their flux ratio should be equal to unity, instead in several cases the observed value differs significantly. The most plausible solution is to invoke the presence of substructures, as for instance ...
