The aim of this paper is to compare the static deflections and stress results of layered and functionally graded composite beams under static load. In the comparison study, the results obtained for a cantilever beam under point load. The Timoshenko beam and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theories are used in the beam model. The energy based Ritz method is used for the solution of the problem and alge...

The performance of a polarizing beam splitter based on the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D-PCs), is theoretically investigated. The polarizing beam splitter consists of a symmetric stack of the low-index quarter-wave plates and the high-index half-wave plates with a central defect layer of air. The linear transmission properties of the polarizing beam splitter are numerically simulat...

Analysis of a laminated composite beam under impact by a rigid particle is investigated. The importance of this project is to simulate the impact of objects on small scale aerial structures. The stresses are considered uni- axial bending with no torsion loading. The first order shear deformation theory is used to simulate the beam. After obtaining kinematic and potential energy for a laminated ...

In this paper, the effect of the crack on dynamic behavior of cracked micro-beam in the presence of DC and AC loads are investigated. By applying the residual axial stress and fringing field stress, a nonlinear analytical model of cracked micro-beam is presented and crack is modeled by a massless rotational spring. The governing equation of the system is solved using Galerkin procedure and shoo...

In this paper at first introduced constituent equations for piezoelectric and then by the help of this equations, internal energy of hinged-hinged piezoelectric multilayer beam was computed. Then by the principle of minimum potential energy and Rayleigh -Ritz method the bending curvature equation of hinged-hinged piezoelectric multilayer beam under concentrated moment, concentrated force, unifo...

in this article, the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (fg) nanocomposites timoshenko beam model reinforced by single-walled boron nitride nanotube (swbnnt) using micro-mechanical approach embedded in an elastic medium is studied. the modified coupled stress (mcst) and nonlocal elasticity theories are developed to take into account the size-dependent effect. the mechani...

the present study focuses on the performance of precast concrete beam-column dowel connections subjected to cyclic loading by conducting experiments. in this study, one-third scale model of two types of precast and a monolithic beam-column connection were cast and tested under reverse cyclic loading. the precast connections considered for this study is a beam-column connection where beam is con...

Introduction: The present study evaluated the dosimetric comparison between 6MV flattened filter (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) photon beams in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted on 10 patients with GBM previously...

This article is devoted to electron beam distortions in the “electron compressor” setup for beam-beam compensation in the Tevatron collider. The distortions are due to interaction of the electron beam with impacting elliptical antiproton beam. We estimate of longitudinal magnetic field necessary to keep the distortions low.
