Structural and luminescence properties of GaN nanowires grown using cobalt phthalocyanine as catalyst
2015
Catalyst free methods have usually been employed to avoid any catalyst induced contamination for the synthesis of GaN nanowires with better transport and optical properties. Here, we have used a catalytic route to grow GaN nanowires, which show good optical quality. Structural and luminescence properties of GaN nanowires grown by vapor-liquid-solid technique using cobalt phthalocyanine as catalyst are systematically investigated as a function of various growth parameters such as the growth temperature and III/V ratio. The study reveals that most of the nanowires, which are several tens of microns long, grow along [101¯0] direction. Interestingly, the average wire diameter has been found to …
Robustness of Empirical Vibration Correlation Techniques for Predicting the Instability of Unstiffened Cylindrical Composite Shells in Axial Compress…
2020
Thin-walled carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) shells are increasingly used in aerospace industry. Such shells are prone to the loss of stability under compressive loads. Furthermore, the instability onset of monocoque shells exhibits a pronounced imperfection sensitivity. The vibration correlation technique (VCT) is being developed as a nondestructive test method for evaluation of the buckling load of the shells. In this study, accuracy and robustness of an existing and a modified VCT method are evaluated. With this aim, more than 20 thin-walled unstiffened CFRP shells have been produced and tested. The results obtained suggest that the vibration response under loads exceeding 0.25 of …
Accceleration of Fatigue Tests of Polymer Composite Materials by Using High-Frequency Loadings
2004
The possibility of using high-frequency loading in fatigue tests of polymer composite materials is discussed. A review of studies on the use of high-frequency loading of organic-, carbon-, and glass-fiber-reinforced plastics is presented. The results obtained are compared with those found in conventional low-frequency loadings. A rig for fatigue tests of rigid materials at loading frequencies to 500 Hz is described, and results for an LM-L1 unidirectional glass-fiber plastic in loadings with frequencies of 17 and 400 Hz are given. These results confirm that it is possible to accelerate the fatigue testing of polymer composite materials by considerably increasing the loading frequency. The n…
Measurement of dynamic characteristics of latex foams by the antiresonance method
2000
Measuring and calculation methods for the dynamic characteristics of tubular specimens of low-modulus latex foams and composites based on them, under longitudinal vibrations in a low-frequency region (up to 200 Hz), are developed. The method is based on the effect of antiresonance. Data on the influence of the basic formulation-processing factors on the dynamic characteristics (gelatination time and content of the plasticizer and chopped fibers) are presented. The results obtained can be used to choose the composition of latex foams for lining acoustic channels, injectors, ejectors, and phase inverters, as well as to control products quality. This method can be applied directly to full-size…
Evaluation of the influence of light-curing units on the degree of conversion in depth of a bulk-fill resin.
2020
Background It is known that bulk-fill have been widely studied and used by dentists in the clinic. However, the use of light-curing units that do not have the ability to adequately light-cure these materials at the appropriate depth can affect their clinical performance. The aim of this study was evaluating the influence of 5 different light curing units (LCUs) on the degree of conversion (DC) of a bulk-fill resin at depths of 0 to 4 mm and determined the effect of using 20s exposure and 40s. Material and methods Cylinders of composite were made in a stainless steel matrix (n=10). The specimens were exposed from the top surface using 5 LCUs: Valo® Cordless (VA); Radii Plus (RA); Emitter.D (…
Silicon resonator sensors: interrogation techniques and characteristics
1988
Interferometric and noninterferometric optical-fibre sensing systems for resonator vibrations are described. The quality factor variation with pressure, the temperature dependence of resonant frequency and the acceleration sensitivity are given for a double-ended tuning-fork based acceleratometer.
Optical activation of a silicon vibrating sensor
1986
The operation of a micromachined silicon vibrating sensor with both optical excitation and optical interrogation is reported. The proper locations at which the optical excitation should be applied for optimum excitation of different modes of resonance are described.
Nonlinear vibrations and hysteresis of micromachined silicon resonators designed as frequency-out sensors
1987
Experimental observation of nonlinear vibrations and hysteresis of micromachined silicon resonators is reported. The experimental results are explained using a simple model in which the restoring force acting in the resonator contains a small cubic term. The effects will impose a limit to the maximum amplitude which can be excited while still maintaining reliability of these devices as frequency-out sensors.
<title>Vibrational spectra of tungsten oxides with different lattice topology</title>
1997
It is determined that vibrations of linear chains -O-W-O-W- in tungsten-oxygen network are rather independent. The value of vibrational frequency is determined by asymmetry of O equals W - O bonds.© (1997) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Microwave Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of Rovibrational Transitions in the ν 2 /ν 4 Dyads of Methane- 12 C and - 13 C
1987
The ν2/ν4 dyad-dyad spectra of 12CH4 and 13CH4 molecules in the (8÷20) GHz region have been predicted including line strengths. All transitions with γmax > 810-12 cm-1 have been observed directly using a MWFT spectrometer: six F-type transitions for 12CH4 and nine for 13CH4.
