    I Composite Galilean transformation in 2 dimensions

    The Galilean transforms for rotations, boosts and translations in 2D are the follows: Rotations: x' = xcosθ + ysinθ y' = -xsinθ + ycosθ Boosts: x' = x - vxt y' = y - vyt Translations: x' = x - dx y' = y - dx I wanted to combine these into a single pair of equations, so my first thought was...

    Gases that absorb IR radiation

    Hello, I'm looking for a gas (hopefully one that is readily available) that will absorb Nd:YAG laser radiation at 1064 nm. The purpose is to heat the gas to transmit heat into a glass fiber composite which normally does not absorb IR light.

    B Is hοh Monotonic If h Is Continuous?

    So, it is known and easy to prove that if you have f : D -> G and g : G -> B then -if both f and g have the same monotony => fοg is increasing -if f and g have different monotony => fοg is decreasing But the reciprocal of this is not always true (easy to prove with a contradicting example)...

    How can I properly add plies to a composite leaf spring in ANSYS APDL?

    Hi, I'm analyzing a composite leaf spring using ANSYS APDL, the leaf spring has a thickness of 12mm, and since it is a composite material, it is composed of many plies, I'm assuming the ply thickness to be 0.125mm. I imported the geometry as a Parasolid x_t. And the element type I used is...

    What Is a Composite Number With No Co-Prime Factors?
