The inplane elastic properties of circular cell and elliptical cell honeycombs
(Springer-Verlag, 2000-03)
The inplane elastic properties of perfectly circular and elliptic cell honeycombs are derived through an analytical method and validated numerically. In the case of perfectly circular cell hexagonally packed honeycomb, the ...
Electrostatically driven synthetic microjet arrays as a propulsion method for micro flight
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-10)
A novel propulsion method suitable for micromachining is presented that takes advantage of Helmholtz resonance, acoustic streaming, and eventually flow entrainment and thrust augmentation. In this method, an intense acoustic ...
Rate-dependent compressive behavior of unidirectional carbon fiber composites
(Society of Plastics EngineersWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2004-08)
Unidirectional carbon fiber stitched composites were subjected to off-axis compression under static and low-velocity impact loading. Specimens were cut such that the fibers were at angles of 15°, 30°, 45° and 60° to the ...
Development of an atmospheric climate model with self-adapting grid and physics
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2005-01-01)
An adaptive grid dynamical core for a global atmospheric climate model has been developed. Adaptations allow a smooth transition from hydrostatic to non-hydrostatic physics at small resolution. The adaptations use a parallel ...
On the conditions of carbon nanotube growth in the arc discharge
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2004-11-01)
The conditions for single wall carbon nanotube formation in the arc discharge method of nanotube production are described. Carbon nanotube seed formation and charging in the interelectrode gap are found to be very important ...
