Abstract: In this paper, the displacement boundary value problem of a piezoelectric material plane with an elliptic hole is studied. As the permittivity of the medium in the hole is far less than that ...

Abstract: If ground motion is not uniform over a building's base, or if the building is asymmetric, torsional response occurs. This paper investigates the effect of torsional coupling induced by both multiple ground excitations and ...

Abstract: Based on the unified strength criterion, a characteristic theory for solving the plastic plane stress and plane strain problems of an ideal rigid-plastic body is established in this paper, which ...

Abstract: Within the wide field of self-assembly, the self-folding chain has unique potential for reliable and repeatable assembly of three-dimensional structures as demonstrated by protein biosynthesis. This potential could be ...

Abstract: Fish farming in the open ocean is becoming a dominant form of fishery aquaculture due to the dramatic drop of fishery resources in near shore. Deep water anti-stormy fish cages are the most ...
