A new vibration dampening adhesive

Formulation of polymers has been devised that, when vibrated, adhesive becomes more fluid (thixotropic) to better absorb shock and, when warmed, will actually hold its shape better (thermosetting) rather than deform

Flame-resistant thin panels of glass fabric-polyimide resin laminates

With a cured polyimide resin content of less than about 20 percent by weight of the finished part, glass fabric laminates which have good structural properties and are self-extinguishing in a pure oxygen atmosphere can be prepared in the thickness range of 0.035 to 0.08 inch

Right and Left Modules over the Frobenius Skew Polynomial Ring in the F-Finite Case

The main purposes of this paper are to establish and exploit the result that, over a complete (Noetherian) local ring $R$ of prime characteristic for which the Frobenius homomorphism $f$ is finite, the appropriate restrictions of the Matlis-duality functor provide an equivalence between the category of left modules over the Frobenius skew polynomial ring $R[x,f]$ that are Artinian as $R$-modules and the category of right $R[x,f]$-modules that are Noetherian as $R$-modules.Comment: 16 pages, to appear in the Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.

Jet-fluid string formation and decay in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

We propose a new hadronization mechanism, jet-fluid string (JFS) formation and decay, to understand observables in intermediate to high-$p_{T}$ regions comprehensively. In the JFS model, hard partons produced in jet lose their energy in traversing the QGP fluid, which is described by fully three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. When a jet parton escapes from the QGP fluid, it picks up a partner parton from a fluid and forms a color singlet string, then it decays to hadrons. We find that high-$p_T$ $v_2$ values in JFS are about two times larger than in the independent fragmentation model.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures; Proceeding for poster sessions at Quark Matter 2006, Shanghai, China, 14-20 November 2006; to appear in Int.

Numerical simulation of dynamic behavior of droplet on solid surface by the two-phase lattice Boltzmann method

The dynamic behavior of a droplet on a solid surface is simulated by the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for two-phase fluids with large density differences; the wetting boundary condition on solid walls is incorporated in this simulation. By using the method, the dynamic behavior of a droplet impinging on a horizontal wall is investigated in terms of various Weber numbers. The dynamic contact angle, the contact line velocity, and the wet length are calculated, and found to be in good agreement with available experimental data. In addition, the method is applied to simulations of the collision of a falling droplet with a stationary droplet on a solid surface. The behavior of the droplets and the mixing process during their collision are simulated in terms of various impact velocities and several static contact angles on the solid surface. It is seen that mixing occurs around the rim of the coalescent droplet due to the circular flows. Also, the relationship between the mixing rate of the primary coalescent droplet and Weber number is investigated.ArticleCOMPUTERS & FLUIDS. 40(1):68-78 (2011)journal articl
