Ordering and demixing transitions in multicomponent Widom-Rowlinson models.

1995

We use Monte Carlo techniques and analytical methods to study the phase diagram of multicomponent Widom-Rowlinson models on a square lattice: there are M species all with the same fugacity z and a nearest neighbor hard core exclusion between unlike particles. Simulations show that for M between two and six there is a direct transition from the gas phase at z < z_d (M) to a demixed phase consisting mostly of one species at z > z_d (M) while for M \geq 7 there is an intermediate ``crystal phase'' for z lying between z_c(M) and z_d(M). In this phase, which is driven by entropy, particles, independent of species, preferentially occupy one of the sublattices, i.e. spatial symmetry but not …

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies (Mo¨ssbauer, IR and NMR) of [R2SnCl2bipym] (R = butyl or phenyl) and the crystal and molecular structure of [Ph2S…

1994

Abstract The complexes [R 2 SnCl 2 bipym] (R = phenyl or butyl, bipym = 2,2′,6,6′-bipyrimidine) were synthesized and studied in solution by 1 H- and 13 C-NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by IR and Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy. The latter was also performed in frozen ethanolic solution. The structure of the phenyl complex was determined by single crystal diffraction methods. The value obtained for the angle C-SN-C in the phenyl compound is 169.3(2)° (X-ray) and 151° (Mo¨ssbauer), but the assignment of an octahedral configuration by Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy is consistent with the structure determined by diffraction. The butyl complex is also octahedral and the two techniques show better agre…

Complexes of organometallic compounds

1974

Abstract Several new complexes formed by PhTlCl 2 with tridentate ligands (with ONO and SNO donor atoms) and a tetradentate ligand (with ONNO donor atoms), have been prepared. The complexes show 1/1 organothallium(lll)/Ligand ( = L 2− ) stoichiometry. Their nature and configuration are investigated in the solid state by vibrational spectroscopy, and in solution by electronic spectroscopy. The existence of chelation by the dianionic ligands on Tl III is inferred, and suggestions are made concerning the Tl III coordination number and the stereochemistry of the complexes.

Dual Substituent Parameter Modeling of Theoretical, NMR and IR Spectral Data of 5-Substituted Indole-2,3-diones

2002

Correlations of AM1 and PM3 theoretical data, 13C-NMR substituent chemical shifts (13C-SCS) and IR carbonyl group wave numbers [ν(C3â•ÂO)] were studied using dual substituent parameter (DSP) models for 5-substituted indole-2,3-diones. For the C7 atom a reverse substituent effect attributed to extended À-polarization was observed. On the other hand, the DSP approaches for the C3 atom showed normal substituent effects with some contribution of reverse effect supported strongly by 13C-SCS correlations. In the ν(C3â•ÂO) and p(C3â•ÂO) DSP correlations the field effect contribution predominates over the resonance effect, which justifies the using of earlier suggested vibrational cou…

Valence Topological Charge-Transfer Indices for Reflecting Polarity: Correction for Heteromolecules

2005

Valence topological charge-transfer (CT) indices are applied to the calculation of dipole moments mu. The mu calculated by algebraic and vector semisums of the CT indices are defined. The model is generalized for molecules with heteroatoms and corrected for sp(3)-heteromolecules. The ability of the indices for the description of the molecular charge distribution is established by comparing them with mu of the valence-isoelectronic series of cyclopentadiene, benzene and styrene. Two CT indices, mu(vec) (vector semisum of vertex-pair mu) and mu(vec)V (valence mu(vec)) are proposed. The mu(vec) behaviour is intermediate between mu(vec) and mu(experiment). The correction is produced in the corr…

Mixed mode energy release rates for bonded composite joints

2011

Abstract: Analytical formulae developed by Luo and Tong (2009) to determine the mixed mode strain energy release rates of laminated and co-cured composite structures and joints are reviewed. The effects of varying loading conditions and geometries on the mode mixity found analytically are investigated via a parametric study. A critical evaluation of the analytical formulae indicates that the formulae are robust in calculating the total strain energy release rate, but may underestimate the mode II component compared with the finite element analysis and experimental results. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed, including the effect of stress concentrations and singularities at…

Rapid prototyping for micro-engineering and microfluidic applications: Recycled pmma, a sustainable substrate material

2018

Poly(methylmethacrylate), PMMA, is one of the most commonly used thermoplastics for the manufacture of micromechanical and microfluidic devices, due to its optical transparency, rigid mechanical properties, low cost and good workability in conjunction with its rapid prototyping and mass manufacturing. Recent advances in the rapid-prototyping fields have allowed the production of precise features compatible with microfluidic structures and accelerated the conversion process from bench-side to mass market. For example, to address the need for fast design cycles using material compatible with mass manufacturing, we have developed an ultrafast prototyping technique for the manufacture of multil…

Advances in Strain Gauge Measurement on Composite Materials

2010

Abstract:  This article gives an overview on the application of strain gauge techniques to the analysis of the strains in composite materials. The orthotropic behaviour of the composite influences the performance of strain gauges that are calibrated for use on isotropic materials. The article considers therefore the typical topics of the strain gauge technology applied to composites with particular reference to the compensation of thermal output, the measurement of the coefficients of thermal expansion, the determination of the strain and stress state, the influence of the misalignment error, the reinforcement effect, the determination of the stress intensification factor, the analysis of r…
