In this paper, the quality factor of thermo-elastic damping in an electro-statically deflected micro-beam resonator has been investigated. The thermo-elastic coupled equations for the deflected micro-beam have been derived using variational and Hamilton principles based on modified couple stress theory and hyperbolic heat conduction model. The thermo-elastic damping has been obtained discretizi...

In this study a Modified Compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (MCSPH) method is introduced which is applicable in problems involve shock wave structures and elastic-plastic deformations of solids. As a matter of fact, algorithm of the method is based on an approach which descritizes the momentum equation into three parts and solves each part separately and calculates their effects on th...

In the present research, free vibration and modal stress analyses of thin circular plates with arbitrary edge conditions, resting on two-parameter elastic foundations are investigated.  Both Pasternak and Winkler parameters are adopted to model the elastic foundation. The differential transform method (DTM) is used to solve the eigenvalue equation yielding the natural frequencies and mode shape...

This paper presents a virtual manipulation environment dealing with elastic objects. An original fast computation elastic model ‘the gradational resolution model’ is introduced for real-time interaction, in which the number of elastic elements are efficiently reduced for acceleration. Joystick force feedback is used for sensible interaction. Two kinds of collision algorithms are examined by joy...

Elastic anisotropy exhibits spatial inhomogeneity in human cortical bone, but the structural origins of anatomic variation are not well understood. In this study, the elastic anisotropy of human cortical bone was predicted using a specimen-specific multiscale model that investigated the relative influence of apatite crystal orientations and intracortical porosity. The elastic anisotropy of cort...

Reservoir characterization has a leading role in the reservoir geophysics and reservoir management. Since the interests of the reservoir geophysics and reservoir managements are the elastic properties and reservoir properties of the subsurface rock for their purposes, a robust method is required for converting seismic data into elastic properties. Accordingly, by employing a rock physics model ...
