The aim of this paper is to apply an approach that will allow us to consider different mechanical modes of a MEMS
cantilever in the form of separate mass-spring-damper equations with the appropriate form of an external ...
In this paper we apply methods of nonlinear
dynamics to examine the behavior of the pulsed digital oscillator for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). We study the regions of existence of oscillations and demonstrate ...
In the first of this series of papers [J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 26, 1736 (2009)], a new kinetic model, which includes most of the major photochemical and nonlocal photopolymerization driven diffusion effects, was proposed. ...
If we sample a scalar wave field, it becomes periodic in frequency. We examine the
cross-terms which occur between these periodic replicas in the Wigner-Ville distribution function of such a signal. We present analytic ...
Secondary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) are used in increasing quantities in concrete practice internationally. While these materials offer benefits such as reduced CO2 ...
In this paper, we study the behaviour of a MEMS oscillator by applying methods of
nonlinear dynamics. We model the system as a kicked damped oscillator and obtain the iterative maps that describe the MEMS system. The ...
DIRECT-MAT is a three-year European project aiming to facilitate the sharing of national experiences on dismantling and recycling or safe disposal of road and road related materials at the European level. It was initiated ...
Both planning and design of integrated municipal solid waste management systems require accurate prediction of waste generation. This research predicted the quantity and distribution of biodegradable municipal waste (BMW) ...
The Water Framework Directive has been the catalyst for a considerable amount of data collection, analysis and research covering a wide range of physical and biological characteristics and involving a wide range of scientific, ...
This paper discusses the design and development of a new direct simple shear (DSS)
apparatus for testing peat soils. The apparatus has been designed to test peat at low
effective stresses, representative of its in-situ ...
