This paper investigates the dynamical behavior of an assembled beam like structure with tip masses modeling a two stage space rocket structure. The beam like structure is composed of two beams connected together carrying two masses at the free ends to model the payload, and the stabilizing fins mass properties. The effect of non-homogeneity of the structure due to different cross section proper...

Transparent and flexible functional nanostructures are very important for flexible electronic devices, such as roll-up displays, handheld portable devices, and wearable electronics, and have attracted growing scientific and industrial interest in recent years. We produced a facile and flexible hybrid structure by conjugating plasmonic nanostructures onto the surface of a poly (dimethylsiloxane)...

There are two different ways of using SMA wires as actuators for shape control of flexible structures; which can be either embedded within the composite laminate or externally attached to the structure. Since the actuator can be placed at different offset distances from the beam, external actuators produce more bending moment and, consequently, considerable shape changes with the same magnitude...

the irony is a flexible structure in arabic and persian languages in which speaker can state his concerns ambiguously and addressee comprehend the favorite meaning of the irony according to his atmosphere and cultural situation this artistic and eloquent approach has various motives like shame and shyness, fear of saying beliefs freely, attraction of addressee, defamilarezation, running away fr...

Coalitional network games are real-valued functions defined on a set of players organized into a network and a coalition structure. We adopt a flexible approach assuming that players organize themselves the best way possible by forming the efficient coalitional network structure. We propose two allocation rules that distribute the value of the efficient coalitional network structure: the atomba...

Truck mounted concrete pump boom is typical flexible structure. Due to the increasing of boom length, the flexible characteristics play important role in the dynamics behavior. Three simulation models are built. The first is rigid model. The second is flexile model with four booms flexible used modal reduction technique. The last is added with boom hydraulic cylinder equivalent virtual spring d...

MOTIVATION Protein structures are flexible and undergo structural rearrangements as part of their function, and yet most existing protein structure comparison methods treat them as rigid bodies, which may lead to incorrect alignment. RESULTS We have developed the Flexible structure AlignmenT by Chaining AFPs (Aligned Fragment Pairs) with Twists (FATCAT), a new method for structural alignment ...

the conformation of alinidine a new and specific bradycardic agent was studied using mndo method. it has been found that the rotation of both phenyl and imidazoline ring of this compound is restricted. of two possible isomers of irnidazoline ring, the one with nh in the cis position to allyl side chain is slightly more stable. on the other hand, the allyl group can rotate freely and at least si...
