Published: March 2005

An ab-initio comprehensive study of the stability and structural and vibrational properties of small carbon clusters, CN for N = 1-10, has been made. We use a self-consistent pseudopotential method within density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation considering spin polarization. The estimated values of binding energies for the various clusters are overestimated in the non-spin-polarized calculations. On the other hand, for the spin-polarized case, the computed binding energies are in very good agreement with the available experimental data. Also, the calculated vibrational frequencies for CN, N = 2-5, are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental values.

Chiral phonons have been proposed to be involved in various physical phenomena, yet the chirality of molecular normal modes has not been well defined mathematically. Here we examine two approaches for assigning and quantifying the chirality of molecular normal modes in double-helical molecular wires with various levels of twist. First, associating with each normal mode a structure obtained by imposing the corresponding motion on a common origin, we apply the continuous chirality measure (CCM) to quantitatively assess the relationship between the chirality-weighted normal mode spectrum and the chirality of the underlying molecular structure.

The identification of vibration and reconstruction of sound fields of plate structures are important for understanding the vibroacoustic characteristics of complex structures. This paper presents a data-physics driven (DPD) model integrated with transfer learning (DPDT) for high-precision identification and reconstruction of vibration and noise radiation of plate structures. The model combines the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation with convolutional neural networks, leveraging physical information to reduce the need for extensive data.

The theory of similitudes provides simple laws by which the response of one system (usually of small size) can be used to predict the response of another system (usually larger). This paper establishes the exact conditions and laws of similitude for the vibrations and acoustic radiation of a panel immersed in a heavy fluid and excited by a turbulent boundary layer. Previous work on vibroacoustic similitude had not considered the problem of a panel radiating in heavy fluid, for which the radiation impedance of the structure must be scaled.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different manipulation methods and storage environments on the microstructural, chemical, and mechanical properties of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. Four sample groups were examined, including nondried (ND-I) and dried (D-I) groups placed directly in an incubator, dried samples stored in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (D-P), and dried samples stored in distilled water (D-W). Various analyses, including Vickers microhardness, compressive strength, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were conducted after incubating the samples for 7 days.

Micromirror technology is one of the current research hotspots. In this work, what we believe to be a novel electrostatic 2-DOF micromirror structure with double-biased torsional axes is proposed. By introducing internal resonance, synchronous motions of the two axes with a locked frequency ratio under a single driving force were achieved within a wide frequency range.
