Vibration Isolation of a Horizontal Rigid Plate Supported by Pre-bent Struts
The purpose of this research is to analyze a new type of vibration isolator consisting of two pre-bent struts which are clamped at both ends and intermediately bonded with a viscoelastic filler. The proposed isolation device has the ability to support a relatively large static load with little …

Analysis of Buckled and Pre-bent Columns Used as Vibration Isolators
… shocks may be very damaging and costly to structures. To avoid such damage, designers need a structural system that can dissipate the energy caused by these vibrations. Using elastically buckled struts may be a viable means to reduce the harmful effects of unexpected vibrations. …

Two Dimensional Analysis of Vibration Isolation of Rigid Bar Supported by Buckled or Pre-bent Struts
… type of vibration isolator, utilizing the post-buckled stiffness of elastic struts (or columns). The advantage of the post-buckled state is that ideally it can support more static load with a relatively small static deflection than traditional vibration isolators such as springs or rubber …

Electronic, Optical, and Thermal Properties of Reduced-Dimensional Semiconductors
… NWs) and graphene-like two-dimensional: 2D) structures of current interests.</p><p>First, I present first-principles studies on how to engineer band alignments of nano-sized radial heterojunctions, Si/Ge core-shell NWs. Our calculation reveals that band offsets in these one-dimensional: 1D) …
