Thin copper film has been successfully electrodeposited onto the Bi‐Pb‐Sr‐Ca‐Cu‐O superconductor substrate from aqueous solution. The electrical and magnetic properties of copper‐superconductor composite structure were evaluated by two‐ and four‐point resistivity measurements and magnetic susceptibility data. The electrodeposition process was shown to have little effect on the intrinsic properties of the superconductor substrate from resistivity measurements. Almost no degradation of the bulk properties was observed from the magnetization data. Scanning electron microscope and electron probe microanalysis were used to analyze the morphology of the substrate surface and the composition of the copper‐superconductor interface. The copper‐superconductor contact was found to have a linear characteristic by I‐V data at 300 and 77 K.
The domain of engineering and structural mechanics has undergone a transformative shift, courtesy of composite materials, attributing to their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio and versatile design adaptability. Amid the diverse array of composite applications, significant attention has been directed towards composite shells fortified with stiffening elements. These configurations seamlessly amalgamate the merits of composite materials with the augmented load-bearing capabilities conferred by the incorporation of stiffeners. This research undertaking aims to dissect orthotropic multilayered shells manifesting distinct stiffening configurations. The analytical exploration is carried out through the utilization of the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software ANSYS. The ensuing analysis embraces several stiffening patterns: no stiffener, edge beam, central stringer, three equidistant stringers, central ring, and ring with stringer. The inherent diversity in the natural frequencies is reflective of the variance in these stiffening arrangements. Keywords: Laminated Composite Shells, Finite Element Method, Stiffeners, ANSYS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
