In this approach, the coupled system is idealized as a triple-beam system-like structure coupled by linear translational springs,where a non-uniform free-free Euler–Bernoulli beam is used.A large thrust-to-weight ratio leads to large axial accelerations that result in an axial inertia load distribution from nose to tail. Consequently, it causes the development of significan compressive forces along the length of the launch vehicle.Therefore, it is important to take into account this effect in the transverse vibration model. This scenario does not need the global dynamics equations of a system, and it has high computational efficien y and low memory requirements. The validity of the presented scenario is achieved through comparison to other approaches published in the literature.展开更多

The effects of carbon and ionomer contents on the electrode micro-structure and fuel cell performance are investigated by physical characterization and single cell testing. The Pt nanowires are gradient distributed across the cathode thickness, and more Pt exists near the membrane. Both the carbon and ionomer contents can affect the Pt nanowires distribution and aggregation. In addition, the carbon loading dominates the transport distance of gas and proton, and the ionomer content affects the triple phase boundaries and porosity in the cathode. The optimal structure of Pt nanowire cathode is obtained at0.10 mg cm-2carbon loading and 10 wt% ionomer.展开更多

Specifically, there has not been a comparative study of the three different 1D PhC structures to compare the influence of layer thickness, number, and refractive index on the ability of the PhCs to control light transmission. Herein, we use the transfer matrix method (TMM) to theoretically examine the transmission of 1D PhCs composed of layers of TiO<sub>2</sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub>, TiO<sub>2</sub>/SnO<sub>2</sub>, SiO<sub>2</sub>/SnO<sub>2</sub>, and combinations of the three with various top and bottom layer thicknesses to cover a substantial region of the electromagnetic spectrum (UV to NIR). With increasing layer numbers for TiO<sub>2</sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub> and SiO<sub>2</sub>/SnO<sub>2</sub>, the edges became sharper and wider and the photonic bandgap width increased. Moreover, we demonstrated that PhCs with significantly thick TiO<sub>2</sub>/SiO<sub>2</sub> layers had a high transmittance for a wide bandgap, allowing for wide-band optical filter applications. These different PhC architectures could enable a variety of applications, depending on the properties needed.展开更多
