An Adiabatic-Expansion-Induced Perturbation Study on Gas–Aerosol Partitioning in Ambient Air—Formation of NH₄NO₃ and Microdroplet Nitrogen Fixation (2) by Yating Gao, Qinchu Fan, Yujiao Zhu, Hengqing Shen, Qi Yuan, Yang Gao, Huiwang Gao, Xiaohong Yao

“…Our results indicate the adiabatic-expansion-induced generation of NH₃ + HNO₃ at ultrafast formation rates, with campaign-dependent stable stoichiometric ratios of HNO₃ to NH₃, as well as highly variable occurrence frequencies and efficiencies. These findings suggest that microdroplet redox reactions are more likely responsible for the generation of NH₃ + HNO₃ than conventional atmospheric NH₃ chemistry. …”

Elastostatic analysis of tapered FGM beams with spatially varying material properties by Justín Murín, Stephan Kugler, Juraj Paulech, Juraj Hrabovský, Vladimír Kutiš, Herbert Mang, Mehdi Aminbaghai

“…In this article an effective method for elastostatic analysis of tapered beams made of functionally-graded material (FGM) is presented. The spatially variable stiffness of the beam is the consequence of the continuous longitudinal variability of the cross-sectional dimension, accompanied by the variability of the material properties in three orthogonal directions. …”
