The propagation of anti-plane surface waves in an inhomogeneous magneto-electro-elastic MEE) half-space with 6mm symmetry is studied. By virtue of both direct and indirect methods, the dispersion relations corresponding to two general cases of material properties variation are obtained. In the first case, it is assumed that all material properties involving MEE properties and density vary similarly in depth. Whereas, the second case considers different variations for MEE properties and density. The non-dispersive shear surface wave velocities pertinent to homogeneous MEE media under eight different surface electromagnetic boundary conditions are obtained as the limiting cases of the current... 

One of the beautiful branches of Astrophysics is studing of binary systems and specially eclipsing binary sytems which is included transiting eclipsing extrasolar planets. Detecting of extrasolar planets with transit method is based on which a planet orbits around a star and when its orbit alignment is such that planet along our line of sight across disk of star, it causes eclipse of star and a drop in star’s brightness and from this we can find the existence of a planet. In analysis of observational light curve (obtained from data acquisition with photometry method) a synthetic light curve, constructed from a theoretical model which is based on transit, planet and star geometry, is... 

The propagation behavior of Love wave in functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic half-spaces with a quadratic variation is addressed. The magneto-electromechanical coupling factor, the dispersion relations, electric potential, magnetic potential and displacement are obtained analytically for both magneto-electrically open and short conditions. The effect of gradient coefficient on phase velocity, group velocity and magneto-electromechanical coupling factor are plotted and discussed. Research on the wave propagation in magneto-electro-elastic materials is still very limited. This work provides us with a theoretical foundation to design and practically apply SAW devices with high... 

In this study, the interaction between thin plate completely bonded to the transversely isotropic halfspace and a concentrated force applied horizontally (Mindlin-type force) are considered. This problem has been solved analytically. This problem is used as sample for thin solid films and surface coating technology, where the surface of solid is covered by thethin plate for increasing its stiffness. Moreover, this problem is a good sample when homogenous solid is subjected to contact loading and can be seen that mechanical properties of material which is near the solid surface varies; consequently, a two-phase solid is created.Because of the influence of noted inhomogeneity, solid is... 

In this work, pH sensitive supramolecular shuttles consisting of carbon nanotube-graft-pyrene (CNT-graft-PYR) and hyperbranched polyglycerol with β-cyclodextrin core (β-CD-graft-PG) were synthesized and characterized. Supramolecular systems (PG/CNT/S) were able to load and transport doxorubicin in aqueous solutions. While PG/CNT/S were soluble in phosphate buffer pH 7, they were divided to their individual moieties in pH 5 and therefore CNTs containing staked doxorubicin molecules were precipitated  

In various industries as a solution to energy production for a short period of time in order to have a high instantanuse power pulsed sources are widely used. This resource is a relatively long period of energy stored in the energy storage element and then this energy in a short period of time the exhaust. Among the most important applications of these resources can be used in radar systems, linear accelerators, pulsed lasers, nuclear fusion, medical applications, etc. Among the most important targets are the following sources can be output pulse quality, reliability and longevity of these resources, efficiency and cost them. From the perspective of the quality of the output pulse, rise time... 

Deformation induced by deep excavations is one of the most important factors in investigating function of retaining structure constructed in urban areas. Predicting content of deformation induced by deep excavations is a fundamental and important step in designing of retaining structures. A prestressed grouted ground anchor is a structural element installed in soil or rock that is used to transmit an applied tensile load into the ground. In this study, effective factors in deformation induced by deep excavation reinforced by method of anchoring is analyzed by application of numerical study based on finite element method by using PLAXIS software, and results are compared. The seismic... 

In this study, a new concrete slab stiffened by concrete pedestals and steel cables is introduced. The slab system is studied by employing both analytical and numerical methods. The steel cables are connected to the edges of slab and the concrete pedestals mounted at the bottom face of slab act as the middle supports of cables. The tension force in the cable and its inclination results in upward forces acting at the bottom face of slab. With the aims of classical theory of thin plates and the superposition technique, the problem of a simply supported rectangular slab stiffened by cables is studied analytically. The obtained results are verified by a numerical modelling implemented in SAP2000...
