Constant Modulus Shaped Beam Synthesis via Convex Relaxation [PDF]

IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, 2017
Constant modulus shaped beam synthesis is widely employed in multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems and MIMO wireless communication systems to improve the effective power gain by using only phase adjustment. To achieve the maximum beam gain, we formulate a new optimization problem to maximize the main lobe gain and also properly suppress ...

Effect of two-phase crosslinking network on properties of acrylate rubber/hydrogenated nitrile rubber vulcanizates

Hecheng xiangjiao gongye
The two-phase crosslinking network state of acrylate rubber(ACM)/hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) vulcanizates was regulated by adjusting the amount of TRA using trithiocyanuric acid (TCY)/tetrasulfide bispentamethylene thiuram (TRA) as vulcanization ...

Dynamic relaxations in a bio‐based polyamide with enhanced mechanical modulus [PDF]

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2018
ABSTRACTA new grade of bio‐based polyamide (PA)—PA meta‐xylylene diamine 10 (PA mXD 10)—was investigated. Its first interest is that it permits mild processing conditions at about 200 °C. The calorimetric study shows the existence of two cold crystallizations indicative of slow crystallization rate. The glass transition stabilizes at 55 °C.

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Linear dependency of NMR relaxation rates on shear modulus in hydrogels [PDF]

Soft Matter, 2011
It is found that the NMR relaxation rates of diffusants in peptide hydrogels have a linear dependency on the shear modulus of the hydrogels. This finding opens the door for non-invasive and forceless mechanical characterizations of materials and tissues using NMR and MRI.

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Shape Memory Polymers: From Bead–Spring Models to Atomistic Simulations

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Coarse‐grained (left) and atomistic (right) models of the shape memory polymer ESTANE ETE 75DT3 are shown schematically. The two representations bridge molecular detail and mesoscopic description. Both models capture shape memory behavior, linking segmental mobility and conformational relaxation of anisotropic chains to macroscopic recovery, and ...

Influence of silver ion reduction on electrical modulus parameters of solid polymer electrolyte based on chitosan-silver triflate electrolyte membrane

eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2010
The electric modulus properties of solid polymer electrolyte based on chitosan: AgCF3SO3 from 303 to 393 K have been investigated by using impedance spectroscopy. The shift of the M'' peak spectra with frequeny depends on the dissociation and association

Experimental Characterization and Constitutive Modeling of the Effect of Prior Inelastic Strain on the Viscoplastic Behavior of AD730 at 700 °C

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows that superalloys used in aircraft engine disks become much more prone to deformation at high temperatures if they have been strained during manufacturing. This effect increases with the level of prior strain but eventually reaches a limit.

Permittivity and modulus spectroscopic study of BaFe0.5Nb0.5O3 ceramics [PDF]

Processing and Application of Ceramics, 2013
Ba(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 (BFN) powder was synthesized in single perovskite phase by conventional solid state reaction route and BFN ceramic was obtained by uniaxial pressing and sintering at 1350 °C.
