A Review Study of Advances in the Science and Technology of Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, we are presenting a brief literature review of present and future carbon nano tubes applications in different fields. Carbon nanotubes are the allotropes of carbon present as wires of pure carbon with nanometer diameters and lengths of many microns. There are several carbon nanotubes applications, which take full advantage of CNTs unique properties of mechanical strength, electrical and thermal conductivity. Many developments on fabrication of carbon nanotubes …

Strength and Stability of Copper in (100) Loading using EAM
Abstract: AbstractNumerical computations of strength and stability of copper in case of (100) loading are carried out by taking new embedded atom method (EAM). New EAM contains three adjustable parameters and four unknown parameters, which have calculated using experimental values of lattice constant, second order elastic constants. Computed value of theoretical strength of Cu is same order in magnitude of the results of other investigators. Second unstable phase found in compression.Keywords: …

Free Vibration of Cross-ply Composite Plates by a High-Order Shear Deformable Finite Element
Abstract: AbstractFree vibration analysis of composite rectangular plates with different thickness ratios, different boundary conditions and different aspect ratios has been investigated using a high-order shear flexible triangular plate element. The first order shear deformation theory (FOSDT) is used to include the effect of transverse shear deformation. The element has eighteen nodes on the sides and seven internal nodes. Element geometry is expressed in terms of three linear shape functions of …

On the Role of Surface Roughness in Ankle Joint Replacements
Abstract: AbstractResearch efforts in biomechanics have geared towards the long-term effectiveness andsurvival of total joint replacements, because of osteoarthritis causes loosening, instability,wear of articulating components and finally loss of function. Surface roughness of articulatingcomponents significantly influences their tribological behavior. Other factors affecting thewear of articulating surfaces include material and geometrical properties. In this work, thehuman ankle joint is represented by an equivalent ellipsoid-on-plane model to study the effectof surface roughness on …

Stress Analysis of Rotating Cylindrical Pressure Vessel of Functionally Graded Material by Element Based Material Gradation
Abstract: AbstractThe present study aims at the elastic analysis of rotating cylindrical pressure vessels made of functionally graded materials (FGMs), by element based gradation. Material properties of the shells vary in radial direction according to exponential distribution law. Ceramic-metal and metal-ceramic, both the types of FGM are considered and the effects of gradation of material properties on stress and deformation behavior of the shells are investigated. Further, a comparison of deformation …
