This research investigates the free vibration analysis of advanced composite plates such as functionally graded plates (FGPs) resting on a two-parameter elastic foundations using a hybrid quasi-3D (trigonometric as well as polynomial) higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). This present theory, which does not require shear correction factor, accounts for shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by a sinusoidal and parabolic variation of all displacements across the thickness. Governing equations of motion for FGM plates are derived from Hamilton's principle. The closed form solutions are obtained by using Navier technique, and natural frequencies are found, for simply supported plates, by solving the results of eigenvalue problems. The accuracy of the present method is verified by comparing the obtained results with First-order shear deformation theory, and other predicted by quasi-3D higher-order shear deformation theories. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is efficient and simple in predicting the natural frequencies of functionally graded plates on elastic foundations.

In this paper we propose a system where we divide the group with 2 symbols. The two added symbols are separated by multiplexing and later added using the DE-multiplexing technique. In our proposed system a simple Partial Interference Cancelation (PIC) group decoding scheme is used for Double-ABBA(D-ABBA) Quasi-Orthogonal Space Time Code, which reduces the decoding complexity for the higher order Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) space time block coding. Finally we compare the proposed scheme performance using the different modulation schemes.

The bending of a porous FG plate is discussed in this study using a novel higher quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory with four unknowns. The proposed theory takes into consideration the normal and transverse shear deformation effect and ensures the parabolic distribution of the transverse stresses through the thickness direction with zero-traction at the top and the bottom surfaces of the structure. Innovative porous functionally graded materials (FGM) have through-thickness porosity as a unique attribute that gradually varies with their qualities. An analytical solution of the static response of the perfect and imperfect FG plate was derived based on the virtual work principle and solved using Navier's procedure. The validity and the efficiency of the current model is confirmed by comparing the results with those obtained by others solutions. The comparisons showed that the present model is very efficient and simple in terms of computation time and exactness. The impact of the porosity parameter, aspect ratio, and thickness ratio on the bending of porous FG plate is shown through a discussion of several numerical results.

The hypersonic flow on the stagnation streamline of a blunt body is analyzed with quasi one-dimensional (1-D) Navier-Stokes equations approximated by adopting the local similarity to the two-dimensional (2-D)/axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. The governing equations are solved using the implicit finite volume method. The computational domain is confined from the stagnation point to the shock wave, and the shock fitting method is used to find the shock position. We propose a boundary condition at the shock, which employs the shock wave angle in the vicinity of the stagnation streamline using the shock shape correlation. As a result of numerical computation conducted for the hypersonic flow over a sphere, the proposed boundary condition is shown to improve the accuracy of the prediction of the shock standoff distance. The quasi 1-D Navier-Stokes code is efficient in computing time and is reliable for the flow analysis along the stagnation streamline and the prediction of heat flux at the stagnation point in the hypersonic blunt body flow.

High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) has been regarded as a promising clean energy sources. In this study, a quasi-three-dimensional dynamic model of HT-PEMFC has been developed and the local dynamic characteristics are investigated. The model has the geometrical simplification of 2+1D reduction (quasi-3D). The one-dimensional model consists of nine control volumes in cross-sectional direction to solve the energy conservation and the species conservation equations. Then, the one-dimensional model is discretized into 25 local sections along the gas flow direction to account for gas and thermal transport in channels. With this discretization, the local characteristics of HT-PEMFC such as species conservation, temperature, and current density can be captured. In order to study the basic characteristics of HT-PEMFC, it is important to investigate the local dynamic characteristics. Thus, the model is simulated at various operating conditions and the local dynamic characteristics related to them are observed. The model is useful to investigate the distribution of HT-PEMFC characteristics and the physical phenomena in HT-PEMFC.

In this paper, a compact, broadband quasi-Yagi antenna utilizing balance analysis of the ultra-wideband microstrip-to-coplanar stripline(MS-to-CPS) balun is proposed. The antenna size was reduced by removing the reflector on bottom layer and ground plane is used as a reflector. A planar balun that transforms from microstrip(MS) to balanced coplanar stripline(CPS) is characterized in the amplitude and phase imbalances at CPS output ports are investigated and discussed. As compared with the conventional balun, the proposed MS-to-CPS balun demonstrated very wideband performance from 7 to over 20 GHz. From the simulation study, amplitude and phase imbalances are within 1 dB and ${\pm}5^{\circ}$, respectively. The implemented antenna provides very wide bandwidth from 6.9 to 15.1 GHz(74.5 %). The gain of the antenna is from 3.7 to 5.5 dBi, the front-to-back ratio is more than 10 dB, and the nominal radiation efficiency is about 94 %.

An operator $T\;{\varepsilon}\;B(\mathcal{H})$ is said to be $k$-quasi-paranormal operator if $||T^{k+1}x||^2\;{\leq}\;||T^{k+2}x||\;||T^kx||$ for every $x\;{\epsilon}\;\mathcal{H}$, $k$ is a natural number. This class of operators contains the class of paranormal operators and the class of quasi - class A operators. In this paper, using the operator matrix representation of $k$-quasi-paranormal operators which is related to the paranormal operators, we show that every algebraically $k$-quasi-paranormal operator has Bishop's property ($\beta$), which is an extension of the result proved for paranormal operators in [32]. Also we prove that (i) generalized Weyl's theorem holds for $f(T)$ for every $f\;{\epsilon}\;H({\sigma}(T))$; (ii) generalized a - Browder's theorem holds for $f(S)$ for every $S\;{\prec}\;T$ and $f\;{\epsilon}\;H({\sigma}(S))$; (iii) the spectral mapping theorem holds for the B - Weyl spectrum of T.

We consider finite element methods applied to a class of quasi parabolic integro-differential equations in $R^d$. Global strong superconvergence, which only requires that partitions are quasi-uniform, is investigated for the error between the approximate solution and the Sobolev-Volterra projection of the exact solution. Two order superconvergence results are demonstrated in $W^{1,p}(\Omega)\;and\;L_p(\Omega)$, for $2\;{\leq}p\;<\;{\infty}$.

Researchers have applied theoretical and CFD models for years to analyze the fluidelastic instability (FEI) of tube arrays in steam generators and other heat exchangers. The accuracy of each approach has typically been evaluated using the discrepancy between the experimental critical flow velocity and the predicted value. In the best cases, the predicted critical flow velocity was within an order of magnitude comparable to the measured one. This paper revisits the quasi-steady approach for damping controlled FEI in a normal triangular array with a pitch ratio of P/d = 1.375. The method addresses the fluidelastic frequency at the stability threshold as an input parameter for the approach. The excellent agreement between the estimated stability thresholds and the equivalent experimental results suggests that the fluidelastic frequency must be included in the quasi-steady analysis, which requires minimal computing time and experimental data. In addition, the model allows a simple time delay analysis regarding flow convective and viscous effects.
