Bending of a poroelastic beam with lateral diffusion

Beam bending via plasmonic lenses.

We have designed and characterized three different types of plasmonic lenses that cannot only focus, but can also bend electromagnetic (EM) waves. The bending effect is achieved by constructing an asymmetric phase front caused by varying phase retardations in EM waves as they pass through a plasmonic lens. With an incident wave normal to the lens surface, light bends up to 8° off the axial dire...

A Survey on Buckling and Vibrations of a Viscoelastic Beam under Distributed Lateral and Axial Loads

In this paper, based on Kelvin and Linear Standard Solid models, dynamic response and the buckling load of a viscoelastic beam under  lateral and axial loads have been determined. The governing equations have been extracted using Euler  and Timoshenko theories and their analytical solutions have been obtained by using the eigenfunctions expansion method. Buckling load have been calculated by us...

Behavior of poroelastic isotropic beam derivation by asymptotic expansion method

Bending, Buckling and Vibration of a Functionally Graded Porous Beam Using Finite Elements

This study presents the effect of porosity on mechanical behaviors of a power distribution functionally graded beam. The Euler-Bernoulli beam is assumed to describe the kinematic relations and constitutive equations. Because of technical problems, particle size shapes and micro-voids are created during the fabrication which should be taken into consideration. Two porosity models are proposed. T...

Plane Strain Deformation of a Poroelastic Half-Space Lying Over Another Poroelastic Half-Space

The plane strain deformation of an isotropic, homogeneous, poroelastic medium caused by an inclined line-load is studied using the Biot linearized theory for fluid saturated porous materials. The analytical expressions for the displacements and stresses in the medium are obtained by applying suitable boundary conditions. The solutions are obtained analytically for the limiting case of undrained...
