We report a scalable single-step microfluidic technique for the production of monodisperse double emulsions with very thin shell thicknesses, of about 5% of the drop radius.

This paper presents a general analysis of the dynamic stability of a finite-length, fluid-conveying pipe. The Flu¨gge-Kempner equation is used in conjunction with classical potential theory so that circumferential modes as well as the usual beam modes may be considered. The cylinders are found to become unstable statically at first but flutter is predicted for higher velocities. The critical flow velocities for short, thin shells are associated with a number of circumferential waves. This number reduces for thicker and longer shells until the instability is in a beam mode. When the limiting case of a long thin shell is taken, it is found to agree with previous results obtained using a simpler beam approach.

The Einstein–Vlasov equations govern the dynamics of systems of self-gravitating collisionless particles in the framework of general relativity. Here we review some recent results obtained by restricting to spherically symmetric systems and imposing the simplifying restrictions that the conserved angular momentum of the particles can take values only on a discrete, finite set. The first set of results is restricted to the existence of thin shells, their dynamics and stability. A second set is concerned with the existence of thick shells satisfying the same restrictions and the conditions under which they admit, in general, a thin shell limit. In a related result it is shown that the so called Einstein shells have a unique thin shell limit where the particle's angular momentum has a continuous distribution.

The aim of this work is to receive the geometrical equations of strains of shells at the common orthogonal not conjugated coordinate system. At the most articles, textbooks and monographs on the theory and analysis of the thin shell there are considered the shells the coordinate system of which is given at the lines of main curvatures. Derivation of the geometric equations of the deformed state of the thin shells in the lines of main curvatures is given, specifically, at monographs of the theory of the thin shells of V.V. Novozhilov, K.F. Chernih, A.P. Filin and other Russian and foreign scientists. The standard methods of mathematic analyses, vector analysis and differential geometry are used to receive them. The method of tensor analysis is used for receiving the common equations of deformation of non orthogonal coordinate system of the middle shell surface of thin shell. The equations of deformation of the shells in common orthogonal coordinate system (not in the lines of main curvatures) are received on the base of this equation. Derivation of the geometric equations of deformations of thin shells in orthogonal not conjugated coordinate system on the base of differential geometry and vector analysis (without using of tensor analysis) is given at the article. This access may be used at textbooks as far as at most technical institutes the base of tensor analysis is not given.

Abstract The differential-pressure test is an original, nondestructive, experimental technique for determining incipient buckling pressures of thin shells subjected to external pressure. Extensions of the basic test permit study of many buckling parameters as well as other mechanical factors in thin-shell design and evaluation. The salient feature of the technique is the filling of the internal volume of the shell with a compressible fluid, such as water, to control the magnitude and rate of shell deformation. The incipient buckling pressure is detected by noting the point at which the difference in internal and external pressure becomes constant. Experimental verification of the technique and its nondestructive aspect is presented. Applications and limitations of the test are discussed.

Max Borges Jr. (1918 – 2009) was an architect of thin shell concrete structures in Cuba in the 1950's. During this time, Félix Candela (1910 – 1997) owned a construction company that was dedicated to the design and construction of thin shells. Candela also owned an international reputation as a designer of thin shells in the hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar) form. The two men worked together for the first time on a project in Mexico City in 1954, and since then collaborated on several more, most of them in Cuba. This paper illustrates the architect – engineer relationship between Borges and Candela and documents the collaborative projects between them. The research grew out of a course co-taught by the authors, where the course was inspired by the style of teaching of David Billington (1927 – 2018) that integrates engineering with the humanities. Billington believed in scholarship based on historical studies and documentation of heritage structures. This paper is in tribute to this great man who continues to inspire.

Abstract The dynamical stability of massive thin shells with a given equation of state (EOS) (both for the barotropic and non-barotropic case) is here compared with the results coming from thermodynamical stability. Our results show that the restrictions in the para-meter space of equilibrium configurations of the shell following from thermodynamical stability are much more stringent that those obtained from dynamical stability. As a byproduct, we furnish evidence that the link between the maximum mass along a sequence of equilibrium configurations and the onset of dynamical stability is valid for EOS relating the pressure P, the energy density $$\sigma $$σ of the matter on the shell, and its radius R, namely $$P=P(R, \sigma )$$P=P(R,σ).

A method is presented for the solution of boundary value problems in the secondary creep of circular cylindrical thin shells subject to axisymmetric loading. Approximate stress resultant-middle surface deformation relations based on an n-power creep law are used. Solutions are given for deformation rates and stress resultants in a long cylinder with fixed ends under uniform radial loading and uniform internal pressure. Quantities important for design purposes are found to be reasonably well predicted from the linear elastic solution for a useful range of n values.
