Abstract: Rarefaction wave gun (RAVEN) propulsion has renewed interest in the fundamental limits of recoil reductions attainable by redirecting propellant gases rearward from a gun without compromising the ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effects of the axial load and the elastic matrix on the flexural wave in the carbon nanotube are studied. Based on the nonlocal continuum theory and the Timoshenko beam ...

Abstract: Latent heat storage systems can improve the energy use efficiency and conserve limited energy resources. Microcapsules of lauric acid (LA) as the core and melamineformaldehyde (MF) resin as the shell were prepared as phase ...
