Mathematical Modeling of the Dynamic Deformation of a Rod-Strip Fixed on a Double-Sided Support Element through Elastic Interlayers by V. N. Paimushin, V. M. Shishkin, S. F. Chumakova

“…These solutions were employed in the numerical experiments to determine the natural modes and frequencies of bending vibrations, as well as the dynamic response during the resonant vibrations of the rod-strip made of a unidirectional fibrous composite based on ELUR-P carbon tape and XT-118 binder. The findings show a significant transformation of transverse shear stresses when passing through the boundary from the unfixed segment of the rod to the fixed one, as well as their pronounced localization in the region of the fixed segment near this boundary.…”

Photochemical oxidation of short-chain polychlorinated n-alkane mixtures using H2O2/UV and the photo-Fenton reaction by Ken J. Friesen, Taha M. El-Morsi, Alaa S. Abd-El-Aziz

“…The modified photo-Fenton system was more effective in degrading PCAs, with 72% and 80% disappearance of chlorinated decanes in 45 min of irradiation in pure and natural water, respectively. Carbon chain-length had minimal effect on degradation rates; however, increased degree of chlorination (from Cl5 to Cl8) resulted in slower initial degradation rates and less complete conversion after 3 h of irradiation. …”
