Coherent terahertz Smith-Purcell radiation generated by the microbunched electron beam by Zhang, H

“…<p>The main objective of the thesis is to investigate the generation of coherent terahertz (THz) Smith-Purcell radiation using microbunched electron beams. Several ways of generating electron microbunches were considered and a method to monitor the separation between microbunches was developed. …”

Comparison of transport methodologies on near-field pollutant dispersion in urban environments using CFD by Tee, Clarence Wei Tat

“…The focus of this study is to understand and quantify the differences between the two models when applied to near-field dispersion of heavy gases. The two methodologies are validated by simulating the dispersion phenomena for two test cases which largely bear resemblance to urban settings: a three-dimensional street canyon setup and the Mock Urban Setting Test (MUST) field experiment. …”

Dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete beams under varying rates of concentrated loading by Adhikary, Satadru Das, Li, Bing, Fujikake, Kazunori

“…LS-DYNA, an explicit finite element program widely used for three-dimensional nonlinear transient analysis of structures, was employed in this study to provide numerical simulations of RC beams under varying loading rates. Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models of RC beams have been described and verified with the experimental results, followed by a parametric study to investigate the influence of the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, the transverse reinforcement ratio and the shear span to effective depth ratio. …”

Plasmon excitation on flat graphene by s-polarized beams using four-wave mixing by Tao, Jin, Dong, Zhaogang, Yang, Joel K. W., Wang, Qi Jie

“…However, exciting plasmons on graphene effectively still remains a challenge owing to the large wave-vector mismatch between the optical beam in air and graphene plasmon. In this paper, we present a novel scheme capable of exciting graphene surface plasmons (GSPs) on a flat suspended graphene by using only s-polarized optical beams through four-wave mixing (FWM) process, where the GSPs fields were derived analytically based on the Green's function analysis, under the basis of momentum conservation. …”
