Free vibration and buckling of three-phase bidirectional functionally graded sandwich (BFGSW) plates are studied in this paper for the first time by using an efficient nine-node quadrilateral (Q9) element. The core is pure ceramic, while two skin layers a material. element derived on basis Mindlin plate theory linked interpolations. Fundamental frequencies loads computed with various boundary c...

Abstract The shape of the projectile seems to determine effect a ballistic impact and failure mechanism. In this study, numerical analysis with different shapes, i.e ., ogive, blunt, conical, hemispherical is performed. target circular sandwich plate an outer diameter 315 mm, which composed three layers thickness 1 mm for each layer. These will be filled materials such as 1100-H12 aluminum allo...

The structural performance of a steel-concrete-steel sandwich beam (SCSSB) with welded stirrups to the steel skin plates as shear connections exposed pure torsion load was studied in this paper. Eight SCSSB specimens were fabricated and tested under torsion. effects compressive strength concrete core, 26 35 MPa, thickness top bottom plates, 2 4 mm, degree interaction, which represents number st...

Power SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) devices have an inherent sandwich structure of MOS (MetalOxide-Semiconductor) gate which is very easy to suffer ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) overstress. To solve this reliability problem, studies on design and modification of a built-in self-anti-ESD diode for a preliminarily optimized high voltage SOI LIGBT (Lateral-Insulated-Gate-Bipolar-Transistor) were car...

We have isolated a novel Xenopus homolog of the Drosophila achaete-scute genes, called XASH-3. XASH-3 expression is neural specific and is detected as early as stage 11 1/2, making it one of the earliest markers of neural induction so far described. Moreover, XASH-3 expression within the neural plate is regionally restricted. Transverse bands of XASH-3 mRNA mark discrete positions along the ant...

We describe multiwell assays for detecting the accumulation as well as the subsequent oxidation of (14)C-labeled substrates in cultured cells. Accumulation is monitored in real time by an established scintillation proximity assay in which the scintillator is embedded in the plate base primarily detecting cell-associated radiolabel. The substrate oxidation assay is a novel variant of previously ...

A graph G = (V,E) is a chordal probe graph if its vertices can be partitioned into two sets, P (probes) and N (non-probes), where N is a stable set and such that G can be extended to a chordal graph by adding edges between non-probes. We give several characterizations of chordal probe graphs, first, in the case of a fixed given partition of the vertices into probes and non-probes, and second, i...
