Two types of novel MAC materials, negative Poisson＇s ratio material and biomimetic tendon reinforced material, were introduced in this study. To estimate the effective material properties for structural analyses and to optimally design such materials, a set of suitable homogenization methods was developed that provided an effective means for the multiscale modeling of MAC materials. First, a strain-based homogenization method was developed using an approach that separated the strain field into a homogenized strain field and a strain variation field in the local cellular domain superposed on the homogenized strain field. The principle of virtual displacements for the relationship between the strain variation field and the homogenized strain field was then used to condense the strain variation field onto the homogenized strain field. The new method was then extended to a stress-based homogenization process based on the principle of virtual forces and further applied to address the discrete systems represented by the beam or frame structures of the aforementioned MAC materials. The characteristic modes and the stress recovery process used to predict the stress distribution inside the cellular domain and thus determine the material strengths and failures at the local level are also discussed.展开更多

Nonlinear optical material may find important uses in optical switching. Optical switch using nonlinear material makes it possible for one optical signal to control and switch another optical signal through nonlinear interaction in a material. In this communication such materials have been successfully exploited to design an all-optical tree-net architecture, which can be utilized for time division multiplexing scheme in all-optical domain.展开更多

Membranaceus Munro) andtheir physical and mechanical properties have been studied in the paper. The results showed that the whangee hasbetter physical properties than that of the Yunnanicus, such as higher density, lower tangential and longitudinal dryshrinkages. That also showed that Whangee has stronger mechanical properties in MOR and MOE, compressivestrength and shear strength parallel to the grain. Compared with some wood species used in architecture, the physicaland mechanical properties of the two kinds have reached the requirement of some wood architecture structurematerials.展开更多

Therefore an efficient conversion scheme from one number system to another is very important. Modified trinary number （MTN） has already taken a significant role towards carry and borrow free arithmetic operations. In this communication, we propose a tree-net architecture based all optical conversion scheme from binary number to its MTN form.
