The history of engineering knowledge with regards to bamboo is surprisingly recent, with the major work on bamboo having been completed by Janssen (1981) and Acre (1993) of the University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands. In their research, both noted that splitting is the dominant limit state in structural applications,…

Two dimensional materials are important for electronics applications. A natural way for electronic structure engineering on two dimensional systems is on-plane chemical functionalization. Based on density functional theory, we study the electronic structures of fluorine substituted planar polysilane and graphane. We f…

This paper provides practical engineers with an equation to calculate the secondary moments of prestressed concrete continuous beams. Normally the prestressed secondary moments are calculated by deriving it from the net moment and the primary moments. This involves extensive calculations and sometimes complex integrat…

We study the local classical and quantum critical properties of electron-vibration interaction, represented by the Yu-Anderson model. It exhibits an instability, similar to the Wentzel-Bardeen singularity, whose nature resembles to weakly first-order quantum-phase transitions at low temperatures, and crosses over to G…

The low-energy properties of the S = 1/2 antiferromagnetic XY model with quasiperiodic modulation are investigated for the consideration of spin–phonon coupling. It is found that the lattice distortion at every site displays a self-similar character, which is induced by quasiperiodic modulation. As quasiperiodic modul…

We consider classical and quantum propagators for two different time intervals. If these propagators follow one another in a Fibonacci sequence we get a discrete quasi-periodic system. A theorem due to Nielsen provides a novel conserved quantity for this system. The Nielsen quantity controls the transition between com…

The hot-dip galvanizing process takes place in a molten bath of zinc metal at a temperature of 840 ± 20°F. The coating process takes only a short time at this temperature, usually less than 5 minutes, so this limits the potential changes to the mechanical properties of the steel that is being galvanized. This study ex…

We analyze two numerical schemes of Euler type in time and C0 finite-element type with -approximation in space for solving a phase-field model of a binary alloy with thermal properties. This model is written as a highly non-linear parabolic system with three unknowns: phase-field, solute concentration and temperature,…
