Directional characteristics

Some of the problems often encountered during ultrasonic inspection of plane specimens are also found on cylindrical specimens. For example, problems associated with the directional characteristic of the ultrasonic transducer. Furthermore, the discontinuity influences the shape and propagation direction of a reflected pulse, causing wave mode transformation. In addition, the specimen influences the shape and amplitude of the reflected pulse by sound absorption. 

The laminate stress-analysis elements are affected by the state of the material and, in turn, determine the state of stress. For example, the laminate stiffnesses are usually a function of temperature and can be a function of moisture, too. The laminae hygrothermomechanical properties, thicknesses, and orientations are important in determining the directional characteristics of laminate strength. The stacking sequence...

The reliability of initial equations and regulations was proved with numerous calculations and comparisons. In particular, it was shown [8] that PE-parameter numerically equals the energy of valence electrons in a statistical atom model and is a direct characteristic of electron density in the atom at the given distance from the nucleus. 

Because most poly(organophosphazenes) are synthesized by a macromolecular substitution route, the disposition of side groups usually depends on the steric and electron-directing characteristics of the incoming groups and on the side groups already present. Thus, the order in which two or more different side groups are introduced will also affect the outcome. 

In radiation problems, It Is the available energy flux which Is of concern, not the available energy density. This means that directional characteristics become more Important and the steady flow available energy, b = h - T0s Is the more appropriate measure of thermodynamic work. 

To be more complete all terms above should be written as vector quantities. However, most applications in separations are one-dimensional. For present purposes it will be sufficient to keep in mind that each term contributing to / has a directional characteristic. 

Since most covalent bonds are formed from hybridized orbitals, their directional characteristics are different from those of the atomic orbitals that comprise the hybrid. Deciding the directional characteristics for the most stable bonds formed from a given set of orbitals is a wave mechanical task for most chemists it is easier to accept the results than to learn how to do the calculations. The chemical physicist G. E. Kimball, however, has worked out the spatial arrangements for over forty sets of bonds that presumably can be formed from different combinations of s, p, and d orbitals. Only about eight of these types occur frequently a few of the combinations occur only in exceptional cases many have not as yet been observed. These bond types are most frequently classed according to the coordination number of the central atom. 

Because carbon fibers of different diameters are available and because construction parameters can be varied, it is possible to engineer composites having desired characteristics. By varying the orientation, concentration, and type of fiber, materials can be developed for specific applications. The fibers can be layered at different angles to minimize directional characteristics. Also, layers of fibers can be impregnated with epoxy resin to form sheets that can be shaped before resin polymerization.

This collection of papers ends with the first extension of the valence concept beyond its purely numerical character. In a second example of almost simultaneous publication Jacobus Hen-ricus van t Hoff (1852-1911) and Joseph AchiUe le Bel (1847-1930) developed the relation between optical activity and chemical constitution, a relation not understandable unless valence bonds had directional characteristics in space. Though le Bel framed his hypothesis in more general geometrical terms, both arrived at the proposal that the valence bonds at a carbon atom must be directed to the comers of a tetrahedron.Only in this way can the correct number of isomers be explained for substitution products of methane with the formulas Caab, Ga2bc, Cabed, where a, b, c, d... 

To our knowledge, apart from a brief and elementary outline of a new approach developed by the present authors (5), no simple systematic didactic method for accomplishing the aforementioned goals has been reported (particularly for polyatomic molecules). While excellent introductory descriptions of bonding concepts exist (6,7), no attempts seem to have been made to find a pictorial substitute for a substantial portion of group theory as applied to molecular orbitals or to elaborate in detail the equivalence of the localized and delocalized bonding views on an elementary level. Our approach has been developed and tested in a freshman chemistry course for majors at Iowa State University for a number of years. In the present paper we give and justify a more elaborate discussion of this pictorial method which leads to delocalized and localized MO s for a wide variety of polyatomic molecules. The key concept is that delocalized and localized MO s can be deduced from an appropriate extension of the characteristics of AO s. More specifically, the symmetry and directional characteristics of MO s are obtained from the symmetry and directional characteristics of AO s.

In order to understand the importance of frontier orbitals in chemical reactivity, Berkowitz [213] studied the frontier-controlled reactions within the purview of density functional theory. It is evident that the directional characteristics of frontier orbitals determine the extent of charge transfer, and soft-soft interactions are frontier-con-trolled. A somewhat similar analysis showed that charge transfer would be facilitated at a place where the difference in local softness of two partners is large [87], It may be noted that Fukui function is obtainable from local softness but the reverse is not true. On the other hand, local hardness suffers from the drawback of ambiguity [87], which allows one to even consider it to be equal to global hardness without disturbing their...
