A novel multiaxial three-dimensional woven preform and the weaving technique have been developed in this study. The preform exhibits remarkable designs, which is formed by multiple layers of different yarn sets, including bias (+bias/−bias), warp, and filling, and all layers are locked by Z-yarns These layers are arranged in a rectangular fashion and the layer number and the position of bias layer can be determined by the end-use requirements. A weaving process and machine are proposed to produce the preform. The weaving technique enables the insertion of many warp layers between two opposite bias layers. The microstructure of the preform was also studied. Microscopic evidence of the microstructure reveals that the cross-sections of Z-yarn are variable along its central axis due to the lateral compression forces of adjacent yarns from different directions. On the basis of microscopic observation, a unit cell geometry model of multiaxial three-dimensional woven preform is established, and a good agreement has been obtained between the theoretical and experimental values of the structural parameters of woven composite samples.

The total photoelectric cross-sections in the elements gadolinium, dysprosium, erbium, lutetium, tantalum, tungsten, gold, and lead have been obtained by using the normal transmission experiments, and the results are reported. Using these total photoelectric cross sections, we have found the K-shell photoelectric cross sections, the K-jump ratios, and the total-to-K-shell photoelectric cross-section ratios at the K edges for the above elements. These values are compared with the available theoretical and experimental values. The results are in good agreement with the Storm and Israel results and the Scofield theoretical values, within the limits of experimental uncertainties. Furthermore, the variation of the total-to-K-shell photoelectric cross-section ratio with energy and atomic number is discussed.

An analytical method is proposed for estimating the steady-state punch pressure for three-dimensional backward extrusion (or piercing) of complicated internally shaped tubes from circular billets. A kinematically admissible velocity field is derived to formulate an upper-bound solution using velocity transformation and mapping function. The configuration of deforming boundary surfaces are determined by minimizing the extrusion power with respect to some chosen parameters. Experiments are carried out with commercially pure aluminum billets for internally shaped tubes at various reductions of area by using different sizes of shaped punches, such as square and regular hexagons. It is shown that the theoretical predictions for extrusion load are in good agreement with the experimental values.

An empirical riblet model for manufactured V-shaped and trapezoidal riblets which is suitable for turbomachinery application is presented. The implementation of the riblet effect employs a correlation-based correction for the damping of the specific dissipation rate ω in the vicinity of the wall which has been previously presented by other researchers. In the current paper, the correlations are extended into the drag-increasing regime and are extended to account for the effect of misalignment of the riblets relative to the flow and for the effect of adverse pressure gradients. In order to account for the latter in modern, massive parallel Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) codes, a local Clauser parameter has been newly derived. The model is implemented in a three-dimensional (3D) turbomachinery design code and validated with flat plate measurement data and a NACA6510 compressor cascade. The predictions of the experimental values are in very good agreement with the experimental data, showing the capability of the model for designing riblet structured turbomachinery blading.

We study binary axicons of period 4, 6, and 8 μm fabricated by photolithography with a 1 μm resolution, 500 nm depth, and 4 mm diameter. Near-field diffraction focal spots varying in diameter from 3.5λ to 4.5λ (for the axicon of period T=4 μm) and from 5λ to 8λ (for the axicon with T=8 μm) are experimentally found on the optical axis at a distance of up to 40 μm from the axicon for the wavelength λ=0.532 μm. The first focal spot is found at distance 2 μm (T=4 μm), with the period of the focal spots being 2 μm (T=4 μm) and 4 μm (T=8 μm). Diffraction of linearly polarized plane and diverging waves is simulated using FullWAVE (RSoft) and a proprietary program BOR-FDTD, which implement finite-difference schemes to solve three-dimensional Maxwell's equations in the Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates. The numerically simulated values for diameters of the near-field focal spots for the axicon of period T=4 μm are in good agreement with the experimental values.

In order to improve the resistances to delamination, damage tolerance, some in-plane and out-of-plane properties of composite materials, a through-thickness reinforcement must be provided. This through-thickness reinforcement is achieved by stitching multi-axial warp knit (MWK) fabrics used as preforms for the fabrication of composite materials. The MWK fabrics are constructed with layers of insertion fiber bundles in the warp, weft and bias directions. In order to correlate the microstructure of a preform with the elastic properties of stitched MWK composite, the analytical model for stitched MKW composite is developed. The overall geometry and geometric parameters of a representative volume are determined from the photomicrographs of cross sections of the fabricated composite specimens. The various elastic properties of MWK fabric composites are predicted as functions of various geometric parameters using an averaging method. The experimental results are compared with the predicted results in order to validate the suggested model. It is found that the predicted elastic properties are in reasonably good agreement with the experimental values.

The Differential Cross Sections (DCS's), Total Cross Sections (TCS's) and Momentum Transfer Cross Sections (MTCS's) of electron and positron scattering by radium and radon atoms were calculated in the range of energy (5–500) eV using a total potential consisting of combining the static, exchange and polarization potentials at long distances. In addition, the correlation potential of Perdew–Zunger at short distances for electrons was used, as well as the correlation potential of Jain for positrons. The exchange potential for positrons was neglected. In this study, a good agreement with other experimental values and theoretical values of many investigators was found.

Abstract. The isotopically substituted nitrous oxide species 14N14NO, 15N14NO, 14N15NO and 15N15NO were investigated by ultra-violet (UV) absorption spectroscopy. High precision cross sections were obtained for the wavelength range 181 to 218 nm at temperatures of 233 and 283 K. These data are used to calculate photolytic isotopic fractionation constants as a function of wavelength. The fractionation constants were used in a three-dimensional chemical transport model in order to simulate the actual fractionation of N2O in the stratosphere, and the results were found to be in good agreement with field studies.

This paper proposes a lightweight design strategy for automobile shock tower made of three-dimensional woven composites (3DWOC). The presented design strategy consists of an analytical model for predicting the mechanical behaviors of composites and an optimization method. Volume averaging method and iso-strain assumption are adopted in the analytical model to calculate the elastic properties and strength characteristics of 3DWOC. The predicted properties are in good agreement with the available experimental data. An optimization method integrating particle swarm optimization algorithm and surrogate modeling technique is employed to solve the optimization problem with mixed discrete-continuous design variables from material and structure. The optimized automobile shock tower meets all requirements on structural stiffness and strength when reaching a 30.27% weight reduction.

Three types of the charge-exchange isobaric resonances - giant Gamow-Teller (GTR), the analog (AR) and pygmy (PR) ones are investigated using the microscopic theory of finite Fermi systems and its approximated version. The calculated energies of GTR, AR and three PR’s are in good agreement with the experimental data. Calculated differences ΔEG-A=EGTR-EAR go to zero in heavier nuclei indicating the restoration of Wigner SU(4)-symmetry. The average deviation for ΔEG-A is 0.30 MeV for the 33 considered nuclei where experimental data are available. The comparison of calculations with experimental data on the energies of charge-exchange pygmy resonances gives the standard deviation δE<0:40 MeV. Strength functions for the 118Sn, 71Ga, 98Mo and 127I isotopes are calculated and the calculated resonance energies and amplitudes of the resonance peaks are close to the experimental values. Strong influence of the charge-exchange resonances on neutrino capturing cross sections is demonstrated.
