This paper analyzes the effects of structures and loads on the static bending and free vibration problems of bilayer beams. Based on static mechanical equilibrium and energy equilibrium, the static and dynamic governing equations of bilayer beam are established. It is found that the value of the thickness ratio has a significant effect on the static and dynamic responses of the beam, and the st...

An optically thin resonator suspended over a substrate and illuminated with a laser forms an interference field that couples deflection of the resonator to absorption within it. For high enough laser powers, such resonators have been shown to be interferometrically transduced to stable oscillations due to the feedback between heating and deflection. The coupling between thermal stresses, deflec...

At electrophysiologic study in a patient with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, intracardiac catheter recordings demonstrated a deflection that occurred 30 ms before ventricular activation. The rapid deflection was present during ventricular preexcitation but not during normal atrioventricular conduction. All QRS complexes were preexcited to varying degrees during atrial fibrillation, yet the...

reinforced concrete (rc) slabs exhibit complexities in their structural behavior under load due to the composite nature of the material and the multitude and variety of factors that affect such behavior. current methods for determining the load-deflection behavior of reinforced concrete slabs are limited in scope and are mostly dependable on the results of experimental tests. in this study, an ...

in this paper, a systematic study on the effects of particle size and hybrid of two different size of silica nanoparticles on the toughening mechanisms of bisphenol-a epoxy was conducted. nanosilica particles with mean diameter of 17 nm and 65 nm were blended into epoxy system. probable synergy effects of these two nanoparticles on young’s modulus and yield strength have been investigated. resu...

objective: the aim of this study was to measure and compare the transverse strength and deflection of two acrylic resins. method and materials: a total of 30 samples, with dimensions of 2.5×10×65mm, were prepared with acropars and meliodent acrylic resins according to ada specification no. 12. the specimens were divided into two groups of 15 samples each. a three-point bending test was carried ...

Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, under a cooperative agreement with NASA, will build and fly the X-33, a half-scale prototype of a rocket-based, single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO), reusable launch vehicle (RLV). A 0.007-scale model of the X-33 604B0002G configuration was tested in four hypersonic facilities at the NASA Langley Research Center to examine vehicle stability and control characteristics and t...

Piers were important structural members between superstructure and foundation of bridge which designed to transfer resist the vertical loads horizontal (dead load structure, traffic loads, water pressure, ice, wind) foundation. The objective this study was evaluate effect number piers in transverse direction (horizontal distance or spacing) on static dynamic responses for two types bridges stru...
