As it is known, the problems of free transverse vibrations and instability under in-plane loads of a plate are two different technological situations that have similarities in their approach to elastic solution. In fact, ...

This paper deals with the numerical assessment of the influence of parameters such as pre-compression level, aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal reinforcement ratios and boundary conditions on the lateral strength of ...

Standard Test Methods (e.g. ASTM, DIN) for materials characterization in general, and for fatigue in particular, do not contemplate specimens with complex geometries, as well as the combination of axial and in-plane bending ...

We present a method to determine micro and nano in-plane displacements based on the phase singularities generated by application of directional wavelet transforms to speckle pattern images. The spatial distribution of the ...

We developed a procedure to take advantage of the magnetic-field- modulation-frequency effect on the line shape of conduction-electron-spin resonance of graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) to extract the absolute value ...

Printed electronics is a reputable research area that aims at simple alternatives of manufacturing low-cost, eco-friendly, and biodegradable electronic devices. Among these devices, electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) ...

This paper deals with the study of the influence of the lay-up configuration on interlaminar and in-plane shear properties of glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites. The following laminates were produced by resin transfer ...

It is shown that highly conducting films of polyaniline protonated with di-esters of sulfosuccinic and sulfophthalic acids which contain alkyl- or alkoxy-type substituents exhibit highly anisotropic structural, electrical ...

Recently we proposed an alternative method of displacement analysis in vortex metrology, based on the application of the Fourier optics techniques, that is suitable for an intermediate range of displacement measurements ...
