Cable Dome

Cable domes obtain their stability through the boundary compression ring that contradicts the free-standing principle of tensegrities. Replacement of that with a tensegrity ring has recently attracted the attention of researchers. In this study, form-finding of a modified hybrid structure consisting of a tensegrity ring and a Levy cable dome has been presented. Two groups of different configurations with two different arrangements of modules in tensegrity ring and also two connecting methods between the ring and cable dome parts were considered in the hybrid structures. Since the distribution of pre-stress forces is a fundamental issue in structural behavior, the proximity of pre-stress force values between two parts of ring and cable dome was chosen as comparison criterion. The form-finding of a variety of hybrid cases was carried out and results were compared with the previously proposed hybrid structure and with each other to achieve the best combination method between two parts. It was found that the hybrid cases proposed in this study have a very better pre-stress force distribution and finally the best hybrid structure also was presented.

AbstractHuman endeavours span a wide spectrum of activities which includes solving fascinating problems in the realms of engineering, arts, sciences, medical sciences, social sciences, economics and environment. To solve these problems, classical mathematics methods are insufficient. The real-world problems involve many uncertainties making them difficult to solve by classical means. The researchers world over have established new mathematical theories such as fuzzy set theory and rough set theory in order to model the uncertainties that appear in various fields mentioned above. In the recent days, soft set theory has been developed which offers a novel way of solving real world issues as the issue of setting the membership function does not arise. This comes handy in solving numerous problems and many advancements are being made now-a-days. Jun introduced hybrid structure utilizing the ideas of a fuzzy set and a soft set. It is to be noted that hybrid structures are a speculation of soft set and fuzzy set. In the present work, the notion of hybrid ideals of a near-ring is introduced. Significant work has been carried out to investigate a portion of their significant properties. These notions are characterized and their relations are established furthermore. For a hybrid left (resp., right) ideal, different left (resp., right) ideal structures of near-rings are constructed. Efforts have been undertaken to display the relations between the hybrid product and hybrid intersection. Finally, results based on homomorphic hybrid preimage of a hybrid left (resp., right) ideals are proved.

Topological States

Mid-gap 1D topological states and their electronic properties on different 2D hybrid structures are investigated using the tight binding Hamiltonian and the Green’s function technique. There are considered straight armchair-edge and zig-zag Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) chains coupled with real 2D electrodes which density of states (DOS) are characterized by the van Hove singularities. In this work, it is shown that such 2D substrates substantially influence topological states end evoke strong asymmetry in their on-site energetic structures, as well as essential modifications of the spectral density function (local DOS) along the chain. In the presence of the surface singularities the SSH topological state is split, or it is strongly localized and becomes dispersionless (tends to the atomic limit). Additionally, in the vicinity of the surface DOS edges this state is asymmetrical and consists of a wide bulk part together with a sharp localized peak in its local DOS structure. Different zig-zag and armachair-edge configurations of the chain show the spatial asymmetry in the chain local DOS; thus, topological edge states at both chain ends can appear for different energies. These new effects cannot be observed for ideal wide band limit electrodes but they concern 1D topological states coupled with real 2D hybrid structures.

Suspend-dome structure form which colligates advantages of cable dome and reticulated shell is a new type spatial hybrid structure system. This article introduced the configuration and principle of suspend-dome structure system, and researched the structural behavior influence by altering the joint stiffness, vector height of the suspend-dome and the loop cable pretension. The results show that suspend-dome structure should make comprehensive consideration on interaction between vector height, prestress application and other factors, and relevant optimizing design method can be adopted in the design.

This article highlights the design potentials of a recently proposed form-driven approach for bending-active tensile structures, in which the geometry of the actively bent elements can be directly defined without the recourse to a form-finding procedure. The approach is applied to the design of a lightweight sun-shading system that can be used to protect glazed building façades, and in which actively bent beams are restrained by pre-stressing strips. Other than structural requirements, the geometry of this hybrid structure is informed by functional and environmental considerations to prevent overheating and glare inside the building.

The Ideal

In this paper, the notion of hybrid structure is applied to the ideal theory in BCI-algebras. In fact, we introduce the notions of hybrid p -ideal, hybrid h-ideal, and hybrid a-ideal in BCI-algebras and investigate their related properties. Furthermore, we show that every hybrid p -ideal (or h-ideal or a-ideal) is a hybrid ideal in a BCI-algebra but converse need not be true in general and in support, and we exhibit counter examples for each case. Moreover, we consider characterizations of hybrid p -ideal, hybrid h-ideal, and hybrid a-ideal in BCI-algebras.

Monolayer MoS2 (1L-MoS2) is an ideal platform to examine and manipulate two dimensionally confined exciton complexes, which provides a large variety of modulating the optical and electrical properties of 1L-MoS2. Extensive studies of external doping and hybridization exhibit the possibilities of engineering the optical and electrical performance of 1L-MoS2. However, biomodifications of 1L-MoS2 and the characterization and applications of such hybrid structures are rarely reported. In this paper, we present a bio-MoS2 hybrid structure fabricated by laterally stretching strands of DNAs on CVD-grown 1L-MoS2. We observed a strong modification of photoluminescence and Raman spectra with reduced PL intensity and red-shift of PL peak and Raman peaks, which were attributed to electron doping by the DNAs and the presence of tensile strain in 1L-MoS2. Moreover, we observed a significant enhancement of electric mobility in the DNA/1L-MoS2 hybrid compared to that in the pristine 1L-MoS2, which may have been caused by the induced strain in 1L-MoS2.

Quantum Well Structures

Since the introduction of the man-made superlattices and quantum well structures, the field has taken off and developed into Quantum Slab, QS; Quantum Wire, QW; Quantum Dot, QD; and Nanoelectronics. This rapidly expanding field owes its success to the development of epitaxially grown heterojunctions and heterostructures to confine carriers in injection lasers. Meanwhile, the advancement of lithography allows potentials to be applied in nanoscale dimension leading to the possibility of quantum confinement without heterostructures. Actually, quantum states in the inversion layer of field effect transistors, FETs, formed by the application of a large gate voltage appeared several years before the introduction of the superlattices and quantum wells. The quantum Hall effect was first discovered in the Si inversion layer. This chapter, Multipole-Electrode Heterojunction Hybrid Structure, MEHHS, discusses hybrid structures of heterojunctions and applied potentials via multipole-electrodes for a much wider variety of structures for future quantum devices. The technology required to fabricate these electrodes, to some degree, is routinely used in the double-gate devices. Few specific examples are detailed here, hopefully, to stimulate a rapid adoption of a hybrid system for the formation of quasi-discrete states for quantum devices.
