Abstract : In this work, we have investigated the fabrication of ordered silicon nitride nanohole arrays as part of an overall process aimed at producing organized silicon nanocrystals. The authors have demonstrated that ...

Abstract : This paper presents two approaches for the fabrication of top-down titanium nanostructures. The first approach involves electron beam lithography followed by a tailored titanium plasma etching. The two main ...

Abstract : We present a versatile nanodamascene process for the realization of low-power nanoelectronic devices with different oxide junctions. With this process we have fabricated metal/insulator/metal junctions, metallic ...

Abstract: Sensory neurons exhibit remarkable adaptability in acquiring new optimal selectivity to unfamiliar features when a new stimulus becomes prevalent in the environment. In conventionally prepared adult anesthetized ...

The response of concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) structures under wind loading has to be carefully predicted to optimize the design of these structures. Designers normally rely on wind tunnel tests and equivalent static ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a FE modeling strategy for multilayered strands subjected to multiaxial loads. The approach takes advantage of beam elements and incorporates 3D inter-wire contacts. While reducing mesh sizes, ...

Abstract: Using seismic isolation systems for highway bridges modifies the structure’s principal vibration modes, effectively reducing the seismic base shear conveyed from the superstructure to the substructure. However, ...

A flexible and multipurpose bio-inspired hierarchical model for analyzing musical timbre is presented in this paper. Inspired by findings in the fields of neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and psychoacoustics, not ...

A direct numerical simulation of the flow field around a controlled-diffusion airfoil within an anechoic wind-tunnel at 5 degree incidence and a high Reynolds number of 150,000 is performed for the first time using a Lattice ...

Abstract—Submitted to wind induced vibrations, overhead conductors are vulnerable to fatigue damage, especially at restraining fixtures such as the suspension clamp. This paper proposes an efficient finite element ...
