Abstract: Motion of an electrically conducting structural member in a magnetic field induces an electric current, which interacts with the magnetic field so as to inhibit the motion. This magnetic damping is known to have a destabilizing ...

Abstract: Propagation of Rayleigh waves in a perfectly conducting elastic half-space in the presence of magnetic fields is considered for a possible application in nondestructive measurements of mechanical ...

Abstract: Propagation of surface waves of oblique incidence across infilled trenches is considered. An analytical approach based on the Green's function technique is developed to estimate the reflection and transmission of surface ...

Abstract: Further theoretical analysis is presented on the instability of superconducting magnets. A three-coil superconducting partial torus with two pin supports is described by a nonlinear theoretical model, which is composed of ...

Abstract: The incorporation of a small volume of carbon fibers into a concrete mixture produces a strong and durable concrete and at the same time lends the product a smart material property. This intrinsic capability can be tapped ...
