Dynamics of a Sandwich Cylindrical Shell with a Functionally Graded Auxetic Honeycomb Core by Hossein Amirabadi

“…In this paper, a study is conducted regarding the free vibrational analysis of a sandwich cylindrical shell with a re-entrant auxetic honeycomb (AH) core made of ceramic-metal functionally graded material (FGM). The volume fraction (mass fraction) of ceramic in the functionally graded auxetic honeycomb (FGAH) core varies from zero at the inner surface to one at the outer one based on a power-law function. …”

Integral of the double-emission eikonal function for a massive and a massless emitter at an arbitrary angle by Dennis Horstmann, Kirill Melnikov, Ming-Ming Long, Andrey Pikelner

“…In addition, we also describe a semi-numerical method based on the subtraction of infra-red and collinear singularities from the eikonal function, allowing us to extract divergences of the integrated eikonal function analytically, and to derive a simple integral representation for the finite remainder.…”
