Anomalous bending of a polyelectrolyte [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2003 We report on a study of the shape of a stiff, charged rod that is subjected to equal and opposite force couples at its two ends. Unlike a neutral elastic rod, which forms a constant curvature configuration under such influences, the charged rod tends to flatten in the interior and accumulate the curvature in the end points, to maximally reduce the ...

Experimental Investigation of Vertical Density Profile of Medium Density Fiberboard in Hot Press
Applied Sciences, 2021 This research investigates the performance of medium density fiberboard (MDF) with respect to hot press parameters. The performance of the board, type of glue, and production efficiency determine the optimum temperature and pressure for hot pressing. The

Residual stress analysis of drive shafts after induction hardening [PDF]
Materials Research, 2014 Typically, for automotive shafts, shape distortion manifests itself in most cases after the induction hardening by an effect known as bending. The distortion results in a boost of costs, especially due to machining parts in the hardened state to ...

Modeling of bend discontinuity in plasmonic and spoof plasmonic waveguides [PDF]
, 2015 The paper proposes a method to characterize the bend discontinuity for plasmonic and spoof plasmonic waveguides in terms of scattering parameters. By means of this method, the waveguide is modelled by a two-port network and its scattering parameters are extracted.

Latin American Journal of Solids and StructuresThis paper describes an extended formulation for the coupled beam method (CBM). The method is originally developed for elastic bending response analysis of passenger ships with large multi-deck superstructures. The extension is mainly performed to enable

Design of an impedance matching acoustic bend [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We propose the design of an impedance matching acoustic bend in this article. The bending structure is composed of sub-wavelength unit cells with perforated plates and side pipes, whose mass density and bulk modulus can be tuned simultaneously. So the refraction index and the impedance of the acoustic bend can be modulated simultaneously to guarantee ...
