Modern gas turbine engines have routinely utilized thermal barrier coatings for the past three decades to coax greater thermodynamic efficiency out of jet engines. In service, it has been noted that these ceramic materials are also... more
ABSTRACT: The general topic investigated in this thesis is “structural health monitoring”, with special care being devoted to damage detection and localization. The study is focused on methods which work in the space of the observed... more

By becoming aware of awareness we can experience the innermost sense or the felt sense of spaciousness and self-illumination. Within this state of open awareness, the openness of spacious luminous awareness, we can enter the experience of... more
ABSTRACT. A full three-dimensional dynamic soil–foundation structure interaction (SFSI) analysis of a famous landmark in Luxor, Egypt, the South Memnon Colossus, is performed to investigate the response of this historical monument to... more
ABSTRACT: The joints connecting vertical and horizontal elements are the “weak link” in structural systems assembled from wood panels. If they are too weak, local failures may occur, resulting in performance that is significantly below... more
ABSTRACT. The structural behaviour of large, monolithic, ancient monuments consisting of heavy stone blocks connected one to the other by the gravity load alone, without the use of mortar, is investigated. The Memnon Colossi, which were... more
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a polymer of industrial importance, mainly due to its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. A comprehensive study of the normal modes and their dispersion in PVDF (β-form) has been reported in the... more
We investigate the vibrational properties of two kinds of single-wall ZnO nanotubes. The simulations are carried out for three types of zigzag nanotubes (5,0), (8,0), (10,0) and armchair nanotubes (3,3), (4,4), (6,6). The natural... more
The near edge x-ray absorption spectra of CX4 (X = H, F, Cl) have been measured with high resolution at the 1s edges of carbon and fluorine, and the 2p edge of chlorine. The absolute photoabsorption cross section has been determined at... more
The torsional vibration of systems involving engines exhibits some phenomena not typical of vibration in general. These effects result from the geometry of the reciprocating mechanism and are revealed by detailed kinematic and dynamic... more
