A three-dimensional linearised potential theory is presented for the prediction of motions and dynamic structural responses of twin-hull ships travelling with forward speed in regular waves. Comparisons between theoretical and experimental results are shown for the motion responses and lateral wave loads of an ASR(anti-submarine rescue) catamaran. In general, good agreement between theory and experiment is found except for some discrepancies that are believed to be caused by neglect of forward speed effects on free surface.

Based on the weighted residual concept[4], a three-dimensional plate theory is derived using a Fourier series expansion of a dependent variable and a weighted residual approximation of the basic elasticity equations. The weighted residual equilibrium equations of the plate are expressed in terms of weighted displaced quantities, and the results are then interpreted by means of a potential energy functional. The potential energy expression is used to develop a finite element implementation. For illustrative purposes, the application of the theory to a strip plate is considered and two numerical examples of a cantilever and a simply-supported strip plate are studied.

The electronic state of ZnO doped with Al, Ga and In, which belong to III family elements in periodic table, was calculated using the density functional theory. In this study, the program used for the calculation on theoretical structures of ZnO and doped ZnO was Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP), which is a sort of pseudo potential method. The detail of electronic structure was obtained by the describe variational $X{\alpha}(DV-X{\alpha})$(DV-Xa) method, which is a sort of molecular orbital full potential method. The optimized crystal structures obtained by calculations were compared to the measured structure. The density of state and energy levels of dopant elements was shown and discussed in association with properties.

The purpose of the present research is to develop an efficient numerical method for the calculation of potential flow and predict the wave-making resistance for the application to ship design of tuna purse seiner. The paper deals with the numerical calculation of potential flow around the series 60 with forward velocity by the new slender ship theory. This new slender ship theory is based on the asymptotic expression of the Kelvin-source, distributed over the small matrix at each transverse section so as to satisfy the approximate hull boundary condition due to the assumption of slender body. Some numerical results for series 60, C sub(b) =0.6, hull are presented in this paper. The wave pattern and wave resistance are computed at two Froude numbers, 0.267 and 0.304. These results are better than those of Michell's thin ship theory in comparison with measured results. However, it costs much time to compute not only wave resistance but also wave pattern over some range of Froude numbers. More improvements are strongly desired in the numerical procedure.

In this paper, the deflection and buckling analyses of porous nano-composite piezoelectric plate reinforced by carbon nanotube (CNT) are studied. The equations of equilibrium using energy method are derived from principle of minimum total potential energy. In the research, the non-local strain gradient theory is employed to consider size dependent effect for porous nanocomposite piezoelectric plate. The effects of material length scale parameter, Eringen's nonlocal parameter, porosity coefficient and aspect ratio on the deflection and critical buckling load are investigated. The results indicate that the effect of porosity coefficient on the increase of the deflection and critical buckling load is greatly higher than the other parameters effect, and size effect including nonlocal parameter and the material length scale parameter have a lower effect on the deflection increase with respect to the porosity coefficient, respectively and vice versa for critical buckling load. Porous nanocomposites are used in various engineering fields such as aerospace, medical industries and water refinery.

Feeling the potential field within a cell for various environments, every liquid molecule moves to minimize its potential energy. With this simple and fundamental concept, liquid molecules may be treated as a combination of three kinds of typical molecules characterized by Lennard-Jones and Devonshire's earlier work. We can get a partition function which has better functional from and less defects compared to the cell theory and the significant structure theory.

In the present study, the nonlocal strain gradient theory is used to predict the size-dependent buckling and post-buckling behavior of geometrically imperfect nano-scale piezo-flexomagnetic plate strips in two modes of direct and converse flexomagnetic effects. The first-order shear deformation plate theory is used to analyze analytically nano-strips with simply supported boundary conditions. The nonlinear governing equations of equilibrium and associated boundary conditions are derived using the principle of minimum total potential energy with consideration of the von Kármán-type of geometric nonlinearity. A closed-form solution of governing differential equation is obtained, which is easily usable for engineers and designers. To validate the presented formulations, whenever possible, a comparison with the results found in the open literature is reported for buckling loads. A parametric study is presented to examine the effect of scaling parameters, plate slenderness ratio, temperature, the mid-plane initial rise, flexomagnetic coefficient, different temperature distributions, and magnetic potential, in case of the converse flexomagnetic effect, on buckling and post-buckling loads in detail.

The $BH_5$ molecule, which is suggested as an intermediate of the acidolysis of $BH_4^-$, contains a weak two-electron-three-center bond and it requires extremely high-level of theories to calculate the energy and structure correctly. The structures and energies of $BH_5$ and the transition state for the hydrogen scrambling have been studied using recently developed multi-coefficient correlated quantum mechanical methods (MCCMs). The dissociation energies and the barrier heights agree very well with the previous results at the CCSD(T)/ TZ(3d1f1g, 2p1d) level. We have also calculated the potential energy curves for the dissociation of $BH_5$ to $BH_3$ and $H_2$. The lower levels of theory were unable to plot correct potential curves, whereas the MCCM methods give very good potential energy curves and requires much less computing resources than the CCSD(T)/ TZ(3d1f1g,2p1d) level. The potential energy of the $BH_5$ scrambling has been obtained by the multiconfiguration molecular mechanics algorithm (MCMM), and the rates are calculated using the variational transition state theory including multidimensional tunneling approximation. The rate constant at 300 K is 2.1 × $10^9s^{-1}$, and tunneling is very important.

In this paper, the $2^{nd}$ order hydrodynamic force effect of heaving submerged circular cylinder is considered, with the linear potential theory. Boundary value problem (BVP) is expanded up to the $2^{nd}$ order by using of the perturbation method and the $2^{nd}$ order velocity potential is calculated by means of integral equation technique using the classical Green's function expressed in cylindrical coordinates. The method of solving BVP is based on eigenfunction expansions. With different cylinder heights and heaving frequencies, graphical results are presented. As a result of the study, the cause of oscillatory force pattern is analyzed with the occurrence of negative added mass when a top of the cylinder gets closer to the free surface.

Most formulations for a forming limit diagram (FLD) have been based on yield stress potentials defined in the stress field. Nevertheless, there are formulations where potentials defined in the stain-rate field are especially convenient to formulate the rigid plastic material. Based on a strain-rate potential proposed for materials exhibiting planar anisotropic, the formulations for the forming limit diagram has been developed applying M-K theory. As verification example, the formulation is applied for anisotropic AA5182-O sheet. The good verification results show that the formulation for the forming limit diagram has been successfully developed.
