Towards Reviewing an Immediate Impact of COVID-19 on the integrative world economy- An Evolving perspective

The coronavirus (CoV) belongs to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) species that lead to infection, causing illness, starting from common cold to some serious sickness. Finally, on 11 March 2020, the WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced the outbreak as a pandemic. As the fear and ambiguity rose among companies and firms, the profit rate seemed to be lower due to the Covid-19 global impact, say nearly US$6 trillion in wealth from 24th to 28 February 2020 of the stock market has been wiped out. There was a great decrease in value over the S&P index, which abolished over $5 trillion in the same week. However, the largest ten companies of S&P faced a loss of $1.4 trillion. The investors make an analytical prediction that firms' profits may drop in response to the impact of coronavirus. Our prime focus is on the importance of digital business practices and how different sectors have been affected in terms of economic loss during this pandemic outbreak in this paper.

Non-Linear Damping of Surface Alfvén Waves Due to Uniturbulence

This investigation is concerned with uniturbulence associated with surface Alfvén waves that exist in a Cartesian equilibrium model with a constant magnetic field and a piece-wise constant density. The surface where the equilibrium density changes in a discontinuous manner are the source of surface Alfvén waves. These surface Alfvén waves create uniturbulence because of the variation of the density across the background magnetic field. The damping of the surface Alfvén waves due to uniturbulence is determined using the Elsässer formulation. Analytical expressions for the wave energy density, the energy cascade, and the damping time are derived. The study of uniturbulence due to surface Alfvén waves is inspired by the observation that (the fundamental radial mode of) kink waves behave similarly to surface Alfvén waves. The results for this relatively simple case of surface Alfvén waves can help us understand the more complicated case of kink waves in cylinders. We perform a series of 3D ideal MHD simulations for a numerical demonstration of the non-linearly self-cascading model of unidirectional surface Alfvén waves using the code MPI-AMRVAC. We show that surface Alfvén waves damping time in the numerical simulations follows well our analytical prediction for that quantity. Analytical theory and the simulations show that the damping time is inversely proportional to the amplitude of the surface Alfvén waves and the density contrast. This unidirectional cascade may play a role in heating the coronal plasma.

Elastic response of Carbon Black reinforced polyester based composites using micromechanical models: Role of interphase

Carbon-based reinforcements have been widely reported in improving mechanical properties of polymers. However, still few studies exist on the incorporation of the interphase as a result of the interfacial interactions into analytical prediction tools. To better understand the effect of interfacial interphase, this study compares and correlates the experimental mechanical response of polyester based composites filled with carbon black (CB) with the elastic behavior obtained from the micromechanical models. Mold cast composites of polyester reinforced with 0 wt%–10 wt% of CB were fabricated. To determine the length of cooperative rearranging region (CRR) as a measure of the interphase, thermal studies focusing on the variations in the specific heat capacity or the relaxation strength of the composites around the glass transition temperature ( Tg) range were performed using a thermodynamical model. Micromechanical models such as the Halpin-Tsai and Tandon-Weng were used to determine the Young’s modulus with respect to the CB wt% and diameter as well as the interphase thickness and modulus. The results exhibited the sensitivity of the models to the existence of the interphase as a secondary mechanism, which was correlated to the cross-link density and interfacial bonding. The impact results showed the decrease in the impact resistance upon the addition of higher filler loadings ascribed to the destroyed bonding at the interface and CBs agglomeration confirmed by morphological studies. The research results can be further utilized in the explanation of the changes in the elastic response of carbon-based reinforced thermosetting composites emphasizing the key role of interphase.

Localizing Bifurcations in Non-Linear Dynamical Systems via Analytical and Numerical Methods

In this paper, we study the bifurcations of non-linear dynamical systems. We continue to develop the analytical approach, permitting the prediction of the bifurcation of dynamics. Our approach is based on implicit (approximate) amplitude-frequency response equations of the form FΩ,A;c̲=0, where c̲ denotes the parameters. We demonstrate that tools of differential geometry make possible the discovery of the change of differential properties of solutions of the equation FΩ,A;c̲=0. Such qualitative changes of the solutions of the amplitude-frequency response equation, referred to as metamorphoses, lead to qualitative changes of dynamics (bifurcations). We show that the analytical prediction of metamorphoses is of great help in numerical simulation.

An Analytical Model for the Uniaxial Tensile Modulus of Plain-Woven Fabric Composites and Its Application and Experimental Validation

With advantages in efficiency and convenience, analytical models using experimental inputs to predict the mechanical properties of plain-woven fabric (PWF) composites are reliable in guaranteeing the composites’ engineering applications. Considering the importance of the aspect above, a new analytical model for predicting the uniaxial tensile modulus of PWF is proposed in this article. The composite yarns are first simplified as the lenticular-shaped cross-sections undulate along arc-composed paths. Force analyses of the yarn segments are then carried out with the internal interactions simplified, and the analytical model is subsequently deduced from the principle of minimum potential energy and Castigliano’s second theorem. The PWF of T300/Cycom970 is chosen as the study object to which the proposed analytical model is applied. Microscopic observations and thermal ablation experiments are conducted on the specimens to obtain the necessary inputs. The uniaxial tensile modulus is calculated and tensile experiments on the laminates are performed to validate the analytical prediction. The small deviation between the experimental and analytical results indicates the feasibility of the proposed analytical model, which has good prospects in validating the effectiveness of the experimentally obtained modeling parameters and guaranteeing the accuracy of mesoscale modeling for the PWF.
