Abstract:

Based on continuum mechanics and finite element method, a lamination model was developed for shape memory polymer composites (SMPCs) reinforced by woven fabrics. SMPCs were modeled as a laminated structure with woven fabric reinforcements embedded in shape memory polymers (SMPs). Thermo-responsive SMPs were defined by a 3D phenomenological model based on the phase transition approach, while woven fabric reinforcements were characterized by an anisotropic hyperelastic model. The proposed model was validated by comparing numerical results of a SMPC in the shape memory cycle of bending deformatio

Abstract:

Driven by data, the cross-border expansion of head platforms (HPs) leveraging their data advantages increasingly impacts small and medium-sized platforms (SMPs) and the market innovation ecosystem. This paper constructs a two-stage evolutionary game model to depict the competitive dynamics between HPs and SMPs from the perspective of platforms’ behaviors and strategies. This study finds that, in the core market, HPs’ expansion and SMPs’ retention depend on three factors: HPs’ expansion costs and their impact on data resources, SMPs’ operational costs and their impact on data resources, and the

Abstract:

We developed the scheme of terahertz (THz) surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) over n-type semiconductor by an electron beam in the presence of an external magnetic field. Electron beam bunching by SMPs generates perturbed current density and develops THz SMPs by resonant Cherenkov interaction. More beam energy is required for the generation of high-frequency THz SMPs in the presence of large applied magnetic field. Growth rate of Cherenkov THz SMPs grows with THz frequency and attains a maximum value and then falls off with THz frequency. It grows with temperature and decreases with the electron c

Abstract:

Switched-mode power supply (SMPS) has been of vital importance majorly in power management of industrial equipment with much-improved efficiency and reliability. Given the diverse range on loading and operating conditions of SMPS, several anomalies can occur in the device resulting to over-voltage, overloading, erratic atmospheric conditions, etc. Electrical over-stress (EOS) is one of the commonly used causes of failure among power electronic devices. Since there is a limitation for the SMPS in terms of input voltage and current (two methods of controlling an SMPS), the device has been subjec

Abstract:

Abstract Membrane proteins are important mediators between the cell and its environment or between different compartments within a cell. However, much less is known about the structure and function of membrane proteins compared to water-soluble proteins. Moreover, until recently a subset of membrane proteins, those shorter than 100 amino acids, have almost completely evaded detection as a result of technical difficulties. These small membrane proteins (SMPs) have been underrepresented in most genomic and proteomic screens of both pro- and eukaryotic cells and, hence, we know much less about th

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are one kind of smart polymers and can change their shapes in a predefined manner under stimuli. Shape-memory effect (SME) is not a unique ability for specific polymeric materials but results from the combination of a tailored shape-memory creation procedure (SMCP) and suitable molecular architecture that consists of netpoints and switching domains. In the last decade, the trend toward the exploration of SMPs to recover structures at micro-/nanoscale occurs with the development of SMPs.

To select an appropriate relaxation kernel function is significant for shape memory polymers (SMPs) in their thermomechanical constitutive models. The relaxation modulus of SMPs are described by fractional-order viscoelastic (FOV) kernel and three other kinds of viscoelastic kernel, that is, Prony series, Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) kernel and Cole-Cole Model (CCM) kernel. The data fitting result shows FOV kernel is a valuable tool to describe the relaxation response of SMPs. Compared with Prony series, KWW kernel and CCM kernel, the FOV kernel can give a comparative description of relaxat
