Magneto-electro-elastic materials are multiphase smart materials that exhibit coupling among electrical, magnetic and mechanical energy fields. Due to this ability, they have been the topic of numerous research in the past decade. In this paper, buckling behavior of a multiphase magneto-electro-elastic rectangular plate with simply supported boundary conditions is investigated, based on Reddy’s...

In this article, based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the large-amplitude vibration of multiwalled carbon nanotubes embedded in an elastic medium is investigated. The method of incremental harmonic balance is implemented to solve the set of governing nonlinear equations coupled via the van der Waals (vdW) interlayer force. The influences of number of tube walls, the elastic medium, nanotub...

The effect of magnetic field on torsional waves propagating in non-homogeneous viscoelastic cylindrically aeolotropic material is discussed. The elastic constants and non-homogeneity in viscoelastic medium in terms of density and elastic constant is taken. The frequency equations have been derived in the form of a determinant involving Bessel functions. Dispersion equation in each case has been...

This work consists in a numerically evaluation of elastic fields distribution, caused by intrinsic dislocation networks placed at a nanometric trilayers interfaces, in order to estimate their influence on the surface topology during heterostructure operation. The organization of nanostructures is ensured by the knowledge of different elastic fields caused by buried dislocation networks and calc...

The permanganate-bisulfite-toluidine blue reaction is a highly selective and sensitive method for demonstrating elastic fibers under polarizing optics. Resilience and elastic recoil are properties conferred on all vertebrate elastic tissues by elastic fibers [1,2]. The amorphous component is made up of insoluble elastin, a highly cross-linked and hydrophobic protein assembled from soluble precu...

in this study, nonlocal nonlinear instability and the vibration of a double carbon nanotube (cnt) system have been investigated. the visco-pasternak model is used to simulate the elastic medium between nanotubes, on which the effect of the spring, shear and damping of the elastic medium is considered. both of the cnts convey a viscose fluid and a uniform longitudinal magnetic field is applied t...

left atrial (la) distension has been demonstrated to be linked with aortic stiffness in different patient populations. three-dimensional (3d) speckle-tracking echocardiography (ste) seems to be a promising tool for volumetric and functional evaluation of the la. the aim of the present study was to determine whether correlations exist between 3dste-derived la volume-based and strain parameter...

Background & Aims: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is one of the common retina disorders that can lead to loss of vision by increase in age. In this study, the efficacy of a non-invasive ultrasound technique for the evaluation of alastic properties of eye in the diagnosis of ARMD has been evaluated. Methods: For estimation of the elastic modulus of eye, spatial loading system designed a...
