In this article, magnetic properties of multiferroic bi-layer $BiFeO_3$ (BFO)/$BaTiO_3$ (BTO) thin films were studied. It was found that the magnetization increased by the insertion of BTO buffer layer even though the interfacial stress was slightly relaxed, which indicated a coupling between the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic orders. Furthermore, with slightly increase of BFO film thickness, both BFO and BFO/BTO bi-layer films showed anisotropic magnetic properties with higher in-plane magnetization than the values measured out-of-plane. These are attributable to strain constraint effect at the interface.

The magnetic properties of sputtered ($Ni_{83}Fe_{17}/Au/Co/Au$) multilayers with various thicknesses of Au (0.5 {\leq} t_{Au} {\leq} 3 nm), Ni-Fe ($1{\leq}t_{Ni-Fe}{\leq}4nm$) and Co ($0.2{\leq}t_{co}{\leq}1.5nm$) layers were characterized. An alternating in-plane and out-of-plane anisotropy of the ferromagnetic layers was achieved for the structures ($t_{Au}{\geq}1.5nm$) showing a weak coupling between the Ni-Fe layers with an in-plane anisotropy and the Co layers ($0.3{\leq}t_Co{\leq}1.2nm$) with a perpendicular anisotropy. For such a structure, a detailed discussion on the GMR effect is presented, relating to the magnetization reversal from a mutually perpendicular magnetic configuration at the remanence to a parallel one at the saturation. An influence of the dense labyrinth domain structure on the magnetoresistance effect is also addressed.

The aim of this paper was to examine the continuous and discontinuous contact problems between the functionally graded (FG) layer pressed with a uniformly distributed load and homogeneous half plane using an analytical method and FEM. The FG layer is made of non-homogeneous material with an isotropic stress-strain law with exponentially varying properties. It is assumed that the contact at the FG layer-half plane interface is frictionless, and only the normal tractions can be transmitted along the contacted regions. The body force of the FG layer is considered in the study. The FG layer was positioned on the homogeneous half plane without any bonds. Thus, if the external load was smaller than a certain critical value, the contact between the FG layer and half plane would be continuous. However, when the external load exceeded the critical value, there was a separation between the FG layer and half plane on the finite region, as discontinuous contact. Therefore, there have been some steps taken in this study. Firstly, an analytical solution for continuous and discontinuous contact cases of the problem has been realized using the theory of elasticity and Fourier integral transform techniques. Then, the problem modeled and two-dimensional analysis was carried out by using ANSYS package program based on FEM. Numerical results for initial separation distance and contact stress distributions between the FG layer and homogeneous half plane for continuous contact case; the start and end points of separation and contact stress distributions between the FG layer and homogeneous half plane for discontinuous contact case were provided for various dimensionless quantities including material inhomogeneity, distributed load width, the shear module ratio and load factor for both methods. The results obtained using FEM were compared with the results found using analytical formulation. It was found that the results obtained from analytical formulation were in perfect agreement with the FEM study.

To prevent the percolation of leachate through the bottom of waste landfills, the liner system of various layers, such as compacted clay, geomembrane, geonet, geotextiles, and geocomposite is designed. Since the friction angle between a geomembrane and other geosynthetics is usually lower than that of the soil alone, the interfaces between soil and geosynthetic or geosynthetic-geosynthetic may become a possible plane of weakness, which leads to potential instability of the system under load of waste at side slopes. In this study, large triaxial tests are carried out with samples of remoulded wastes and direct shear interface friction tests are carried out to understand the frictional properties of geosynthetic-geosynthetic interfaces, which are required for analyzing the safety of side-slope liner systems.

Here, the axisymmetric free flexural vibrations and thermal stability behaviors of functionally graded spherical caps are investigated employing a three-noded axisymmetric curved shell element based on field consistency approach. The formulation is based on first-order shear deformation theory and it includes the in-plane and rotary inertia effects. The material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents of the material. The effective material properties are evaluated using homogenization method. A detailed numerical study is carried out to bring out the effects of shell geometries, power law index of functionally graded material and base radius-to-thickness on the vibrations and buckling characteristics of spherical shells.

Epitaxial $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$thin films of two different thickness (~250 $\AA$ and ~1340 $\AA$) on MgO(001) prepared by a pulsed laser deposition method were studied by synchroton x-ray scattering measurements. The film initially grew on MgO(001) with a cube-on-cube relationship, maintaining it during further growth. As the film grew, the surface of the film became rough significantly, but the interface between the film and the substrate seemed to have changed little. In the early stage, the film was highly strained in a tetragonal structure with the longer axis parallel to the surface normal direction. As the growth proceeded further, it was mostly relaxed to a cubic structure with the lattice parameter of the bulk value and the mosaic distribution improved significantly in both in-plane and out-of-plane directions.

PM3 semiempirical calculations were carried out to study the frequency-dependent nonlinear optical properties of thiophene, furan, pyrrole, (1,2,4)-triazole, (1,3,4)-oxadiazole, and (1,3,4)-thiadiazole monomers and oligomers. The longitudinal component, αxx, is the largest of three principle components. On the other hand, the out-of-plane component, αzz, is the smallest. Moreover, the out-of-plane component (αzz) of thiophene, furan, pyrrole, (1,2,4)-triazole, (1,3,4)-oxadiazole, and (1,3,4)-thiadiazole monomers show constant changes with increasing optical frequencies. The frequency-dependent first- order polarizabilities increase in the order: thiophene > (1,2,4)-triazole > pyrrole > furan > (1,3,4)-thiadiazole > (1,3,4)-oxa-diazole monomers and oligomers. The effects of β(-2ω;ω,ω) (SHG) shows a larger dispersion compared with (-ω;ω,0) (EOPE) and β(0;-ω,ω) (OR). The second- order polarizabilities of thiophene, furan, pyrrole, (1,2,4)-triazole, (1,3,4)-thiadiazole, and (1,3,4)-oxadiazole monomers for the various second- order effects have the order: β(-2ω;ω,ω) (SHG) > β(-ω;ω,0) (EOPE) > β(0;-ω,ω) (OR) and thiophene > pyrrole > (1,2,4)-triazole > furan > 1,3,4-thiadiazole > 1,3,4-oxadiazole monomers. The third- order polarizabilities for the various third- order effects have the following order: γ(-3ω;ω',ω,ω) (THG) > γ(-2ω;0,ω,ω) (EFISHG) > γ(-ω;ω',-ω,ω) (IDRI) > γ(-ω;0,0,ω) (OKE). The effects of THG increase rapidly with increasing optical frequencies compared with the other effects. In particular, OKE effects increase most slowly with increasing optical frequencies. Also, the effects of THG for thiophene, furan, pyrrole, (1,2,4)-triazole, (1,3,4)-thiadiazole, and (1,3,4)-oxadiazole oligomers show the order thiophene > (1,2,4)-triazole > furan > pyrrole > (1,3,4)-thiadiazole > (1,3,4)-oxadiazole oligomers. In particular, the third- order polarizabilities of thiophene and (1,3,4)-thiadiazole oligomers are about four and three times larger than those of (1,3,4)-oxadiazole and (1,2,4)-triazole oligomer, respectively.

This study highlights the accuracy of several single strut models to predict the global response of infilled reinforced concrete (R/C) frames. To this aim, six experimental tests are selected to calibrate the numerical modeling. The width of the diagonal strut is calculated using several macro models from the literature. The mechanical properties of the diagonal strut are determined by using two methods: (a) by subtracting the bare frame response from that of the infilled frame, and (b) by calculating the axial strength in the diagonal direction. A combination between the different width and the axial force models is carried out to study the effects of each parameter on global response. Non-linear pushover analyses are conducted using SAP2000. The results indicate the accuracy of the macro-modeling approach to predict the behavior of the infilled frames.

Cube-textured Ni substrates for YBCO coated conductors were fabricated by cold-rolling and annealing of Ni powder compacts. To establish the optimum sintering temperature, tensile test was performed for the Ni rod sintered at various temperatures. The Ni rods prepared at above 100$0^{\circ}C$ showed good mechanical properties due to the complete densification of the Ni rods. The Ni rods were rolled to final thickness of 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and then annealed at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for various annealing time for texture development. The texture analysis made by 2 $\theta$ scan and pole-figure showed that the cube texture was developed in a short time of a few munitues. The FWHM of in-plane and out of plane texture of the prepared Ni tapes was 8-10$^{\circ}$. The AEM surface roughness of the Ni tapes was as smooth as 3 nm.

In case of VLSI design, the shuffle-exchange graph is useful for optimal layout. HOEY and LEISERSON proposed the method of drawing a N-nodes shuffle-exchange graph on O(N2/log N) layout area by using the complex plane digram. [2] In this paper, a new algorithm for drawing the shuffle-exchange graph is proposed. This algorithm is not by using the complex plane diabram, but the table of e decimal represented nodes of shuffle-edge relations. And the structural properties for optimal layout of the graph are summarized and verified. By using this more simplified algorithm, a FORTRAN program which can be treated faster is written. Aimed near optimal shuffle-exchange graphs are printed out by giving inputs` the number of nodes.
