This paper employs the multiple scales method and chaos theory for analyzing chaotic behavior of the voltage transformer (VT) with linear core loss model. It is shown that ferroresonance phenomenon in VTs can be classified as chaotic dynamics, including a sequence of bifurcations such as period doubling bifurcation (P…

Optical absorption in double-wall carbon nanotubes for light polarized perpendicular to the tube axis is studied by taking into account exciton effects and depolarization effects within an effective-mass theory. The Coulomb interaction is suppressed by not only intrawall screening effects but also interwall screening,…

A double layer of identical subwavelength metal patch arrays is experimentally shown to be electromagnetically chiral due to the evanescent coupling of the near fields between nonchiral layers---it exhibits ``evanescent handedness.'' Despite each layer being intrinsically isotropic in the plane with four mirror planes…

Ionic polymer transducers also known as ionic polymer metal composites belong to the family of electroactive polymer transducers. Electroactive polymers are flexible and lightweight devices that operate as sensors and actuators without having any internally moving parts. The absence of moving parts offers a more effic…

Within the framework of the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner theory of Ostwald ripening, the amount of volume of the second (solid) phase in a liquid solution that is newly formed by recrystallization is investigated. It is shown that in the late stage, the portion of the newly generated volume formed within an interval from t…

Rheological measurements have been applied to study the tautomerization of the pharmaceutically active compound glibenclamide. The rate constant and activation energy of the imidic-acid-amide transformation have been successfully determined by monitoring the evolution of shear viscosity. The kinetic parameters from rh…

Photolysis and sonolysis of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water was investigated using a cup-horn, flow-through reactor system. Water containing titanium dioxide was deliberately contaminated with TCE. These solutions were irradiated with ultraviolet light (UV) and ultrasonic waves (US). The decrease in the TCE concentra…

We study multiple scattering of electromagnetic waves by an array of parallel gyrotropic circular rods and show that such an array can exhibit fairly unusual scattering properties and provide, under certain conditions, a giant enhancement of the scattered field. Among the scattering patterns of such an array at its re…

Stitch-bonded, non-crimped fabric composites are among the most common forms of structural fiber-reinforced polymer composites. A complex three-dimensional finite element model is usually required for the accurate prediction of the mechanical properties of these composites. The objective of this work was to develop a…

Monte Carlo computer simulation is employed to determine the local, wave-number-dependent, high-frequency elastic properties of a Lennard-Jones fluid that is confined between two walls. In particular, the elastic constants are calculated from coarse-grained stress correlation functions and then related to the local fl…
