Noise Path Synthesis with Nonlinear Joints

An efficient synthesis approach is developed which permits thecalculation of the steady-state frequency response of an assembly whichis comprised of linear components and nonlinear joints. Receptancematrices are used to characterize the linear components, which permitscondensation of the system to just the joint degrees-of-freedom.Furthermore, the calculated nonlinear joint forces are then used tostudy the power flow in the assembly, as well as detailed dynamicbehavior within the components. Integrated into the technique is acontinuation scheme which permits efficient parametric studies.     

Structural Analysis of Ti And Pb Citrate Using NMR and FT-Raman Signals and Quantum Mechanics Simulations

Titanium citrate and lead and titanium citrate were prepared by polymeric precursor method in aqueous solution. This citrate was analyzed by ¹H, ¹³C NMR and gHMBC–NMR (Hetero-nuclear multiple-bond correlation) to investigate the formation of the citrate complexs and influence of the Pb²⁺ ion in this complex. These complexs were characterized by interaction between Ti⁴⁺ ion and citric acid carboxyls. Quantum mechanic simulations in level ab initio were used to study the electronic structure and natural charges (NBO) to both the complexs. Such techniques indicated the formation of an octahedral complex with an arrangement similar to Ti atom in the crystalline structure of the PbTiO₃. A study using the technique FT-Raman made possible the confirmation of the interaction among the Ti⁴⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions with the citric acid carboxyls.     

Shear flow experiments in an assembly of gel beads and modelling of bingham behavior

In this paper, we present a rheological study of a compact layer of highly swollen gel beads. The flow regimes of these systems are modelled by an elastic sinusoid moving in a Newtonian fluid. This model predicts a yield stress varying with the square root of the elastic modulus of the gel bead. The slope at the origin (at zero velocity) of the flow curve is expected to depend only on geometrical parameters and on the solvent viscosity. The experimental data are in qualitative agreement with the theoretical predictions.

Ring‐opening copolymerization of ethylene carbonate and ε‐caprolactone catalyzed by neodymium tris(2,6‐di‐tert‐butyl‐4‐methylphenolate): Synthesis,characterization, and dynamic mechanic analysis

The ring‐opening copolymerization of ethylene carbonate (EC) with ε‐caprolactone (CL) was carried out using neodymium tris(2,6‐di‐tert‐butyl‐4‐methylphenolate) as a single‐component catalyst. Copolymers containing up to 22.0% EC contents with high molecular weights (up to 23.97 × 10⁴) and moderate molecular weight distributions (between 1.66 and 2.03) were synthesized at room temperature. Compared with homopoly(ε‐caprolactone), the copolymers with EC units exhibited increased glass transition temperatures (?35.6 °C), reduced melting temperatures (44.5 °C), and greatly enhanced elongation percentage at break (2383%) based on dynamic mechanic analysis. The crystallinities of the copolymers decreased with the increasing EC molar percentage in the products. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 4050–4055, 2008     

Experimental and numerical investigation of concrete properties effects on fracture toughness under complex loading

Abstract

This article is presenting the common experimental specimen for determining the fracture toughness of the first pure mode and second pure mode. The Notched beam is chosen from a presented common specimen in the form of three-point flexure beam and four-point flexure beam that were built in the concrete laboratory. For prevention of cracks growth, a critical load of first pure mode and the second pure mode of each specimen computed. Obtained results are used for computing the fracture toughness. For the purpose of investigating the effective fracture parameters in the suggested specimen, finite element analysis on the mentioned geometry is performed. Obtained results show that different parameters are effective on the fracture toughness including crack length, cement percentage, water and the thickness of biggest used aggregate in the sand. Also with changing each of these parameters, the fracture mechanic properties are changed. Each of these effects is examined separately in this article and the conclusions presented in tables and figures.
