The scattering of the radiated fields of a line source by a cylindrical parabolic reflector, which has impedance boundary conditions on its surface, is obtained by using the surface integrals of the modified theory of physical optics. The reflected geometrical optics and edge diffracted fields are evaluated by using the asymptotic methods. The scattered fields are plotted numerically for various parameters such as surface impedance and angles of the edges.

High-efficiency electromagnetic transducers are crucial for enabling the self-sustained operation of underwater electromagnetic sound sources under power-constrained conditions as noted by Hao, Xie, and Ma [Proceedings of the 2019 Western China Acoustics Academic Conference, Guangzhou, China (November 5-9, 2019)]. This paper proposes a permanent magnet drive technology to enhance the electromechanical conversion efficiency of can-type electromagnetic transducers under low-power driving conditions. The can-type transducers consist of coils, an armature, and a cylindrical magnetic core with a central pillar, similar to the pot core proposed by Cui, Xu, Xu, and Shui [Electr.

Stress wave dispersion can result in the loss or distortion of critical high-frequency data during high-strain-rate material tests or blast loading experiments. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the benefits of correcting stress wave dispersion in split-Hopkinson pressure bar experiments under various testing situations. To do this, an innovative computational algorithm, SHPB_Processing.

Forward modeling the magnetic effects of an inferred source is the basis of magnetic anomaly inversion for estimating subsurface magnetization parameters. This study uses numerical least-squares Gauss-Legendre quadrature (GLQ) integration to evaluate the magnetic potential, anomaly, and gradient components of a cylindrical prism element. Relative to previous studies, it quantifies for the first time the magnetic gradient components, enabling their applications in the interpretation of cylindrical bodies.

Copris are part of the Scarabaeidae family of Coleoptera. Copris are dung beetles or coprophagous beetles. These insects are called tunnelers because they excavate channels in the substrate.

With their ability to self-assemble spontaneously into well-defined nanoscale morphologies, block copolymer (BCP) thin films are a versatile platform to fabricate functional nanomaterials. An important challenge to wider deployment of BCPs in nanofabrication is combining precise control over the nanoscale domain orientation in BCP assemblies with scalable deposition techniques that are applicable to large-area, curved, and flexible substrates. Here, we show that spray-deposited smooth films of a nominally disordered BCP exhibit latent orientations, which can be prescriptively selected by controlling solvent evaporation during spray casting.
