This study presents three mathematical methods namely the polynomial stress function approach, the Fourier series form approach
and the approximated equations form approach for finding the stress distribution in a cantilever beam with rectangular cross
section loaded by a parabolically distributed load. By taking the stress function as a polynomial of the seventh degree, it
is attempted to find the coefficients either in complete or in full shape of the polynomial. In the Fourier series approach,
the load is discreted to unlimited series of harmonic loads and superposing resultant stresses is the affect of parabolically
distributed load on the beam. The resultant stresses are compared with some approximated stress formulas which have been provided
before. Finite element analysis are done for square, short, medium and long cantilever beams and the mathematical results
of stress distribution in five different height of the beam was compared with FEM results. It was found good results for τyy and τxy in all cross section of the beams and acceptable results for τxx only in y = 0. It is found that discreting loads to even a limit number of harmonic loads and superposing the resultant stresses can
give the distribution of τyy and τxy with the acceptable precision in medium and long cantilever beams with rectangular cross section. 相似文献
Bioinspired Ni/NiO nanocomposite was synthesized in the Calotropis procera wood and its size and structure were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The green and environmental friendly approach was performed for the preparation of copper nanocomplex (CC) under ultrasonic irradiation. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nano-biofibers containing Ni/NiO nanocomposite and copper nanocomplex were obtained by electrospinning method. This novel bio nanocomposite was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), TEM, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) for further investigation. Novel Pt/PVA@Ni/NiO/Cu nanocomplex/chitosan (Pt/PVA@NOCC/CH) was synthesized and its catalytic performance was studied towards methanol electro-oxidation. Pt/PVA@NOCC/CH catalyst exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic performance towards methanol oxidation (MO), compared to Pt/PVA/CH and Pt/PVA@NOCC with respect to its better stability, larger electrochemically active surface area, enhanced mass activity, and improved resistance to poisoning. By and large, Pt/PVA@NOCC/CH is known as a promising electrocatalyst for fuel cells. 相似文献

In the first part of this series, a 3D straight line model was presented for the geometry of two-guide-bar warp-knitted fabrics. In this part, first, the variation of unit cell geometry under uniaxial tension in the range of elastic deformation is investigated. In the present study, the energy method and Castiglianos's theorem were used to derive the fabric's initial modulus. Energy terms which are considered in this study are extension, bending, and compression energies. Also, the friction phenomenon is taken into account by using frictional energy term. For this purpose, the loop of each bar is divided into eight elements. Free-body diagrams of elements are drawn to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation. After obtaining the force details, strain energy of each element is calculated. Finally, the initial modulus of warp-knitted fabrics is obtained. To verify the model, samples of tricot fabrics were produced and tested. Results showed that the generated model can predict precisely the initial modulus of aforementioned warp-knitted structures. 相似文献
Modified couple stress theory is a size-dependent theorem capturing the micro/nanoscale effects influencing the mechanical behaviors of the micro- and nanostructures. In this paper, it is applied to investigate the nonlinear vibration of carbon nanotubes under step DC voltage. The vibration, natural frequencies and dynamic pull-in characteristics of the carbon nanotubes are studied in detail. Moreover, the effects of various boundary conditions and geometries are scrutinized on the dynamic characteristics. The results reveal that application of this theory leads to the higher values of the natural frequencies and dynamic pull-in voltages. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose an efficient cascaded model for sign language recognition taking benefit from spatio-temporal hand-based information using deep learning approaches, especially Single Shot Detector (SSD), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), from videos. Our simple yet efficient and accurate model includes two main parts: hand detection and sign recognition. Three types of spatial features, including hand features, Extra Spatial Hand Relation (ESHR) features, and Hand Pose (HP) features, have been fused in the model to feed to LSTM for temporal features extraction. We train SSD model for hand detection using some videos collected from five online sign dictionaries. Our model is evaluated on our proposed dataset (Rastgoo et al., Expert Syst Appl 150: 113336, 2020), including 10’000 sign videos for 100 Persian sign using 10 contributors in 10 different backgrounds, and isoGD dataset. Using the 5-fold cross-validation method, our model outperforms state-of-the-art alternatives in sign language recognition
Aflatoxin (AF) contamination of the Iranian exporting pistachio has become a major problem in the last decades. In this study, the antifungal effects of smoke produced from the smoldering of several herbal plants were investigated. Four different ratios of plant weight/exposure time (5/5, 10/15, 15/30, and 20 g/45 min) were used from each plant material to smoke two isolates of Aspergillus flavus (A47 and A3), grown in potato dextrose agar (PDA). The results showed that the 20 g/45 min treatment using smoldering cinnamon bark, neem leaves, and clove flowers had efficient inhibitions of 100, 85, and 75%, respectively. Furthermore, the smoking of pistachio inoculated with a spore concentration of 1 × 106 / ml using 30 g of cinnamon bark, neem leaves, and clove flowers for 75 min was capable of preventing the production of different types of AF, that is, B1, B2, G1, and G2 in the treated products. There is a good potential to smoke pistachio with these three herbal plants and prevent the production of AF in pistachio during the handling, storage, and transportation. 相似文献
We propose a multiscale approach to study the influence of carbon nanotubes’ agglomeration on the stability of hybrid nanocomposite plates. The hybrid nanocomposite consists of both macro- and nano-scale reinforcing fibers dispersed in a polymer matrix. The equivalent material properties are calculated by coupling the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka model with the rule of mixture accounting for effects of CNTs inside the generated clusters. Furthermore, an energy based approach is implemented to obtain the governing equations of the problem utilizing a refined higher-order plate theorem. Subsequently, the derived equations are solved by Galerkin’s analytical method to predict the critical buckling load. The influence of various boundary conditions is studied as well. After validation, a set of numerical examples are presented to explain how each variant can affect the plate’s natural frequency. 相似文献
A theoretical model for geometrically nonlinear vibration analysis of piezoelectrically actuated circular plates made of functionally
grade material (FGM) is presented based on Kirchhoff’s-Love hypothesis with von-Karman type geometrical large nonlinear deformations.
To determine the initial stress state and pre-vibration deformations of the smart plate a nonlinear static problem is solved
followed by adding an incremental dynamic state to the pre-vibration state. The derived governing equations of the structure
are solved by exact series expansion method combined with perturbation approach. The material properties of the FGM core plate
are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions
of the constituents. Control of the FGM plate’s nonlinear deflections and natural frequencies using high control voltages
is studied and their nonlinear effects are evaluated. Numerical results for FG plates with various mixture of ceramic and
metal are presented in dimensionless forms. In a parametric study the emphasis is placed on investigating the effect of varying
the applied actuator voltage as well as gradient index of FGM plate on vibration characteristics of the smart structure.
