in this research, static stresses analysis of boron nitride nano - tube reinforced composite (bnntrc) cylinder made of poly - vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) subjected to non - axisymmetric thermo - mechanical loads and applied voltage is developed. the surrounded elastic medium is modelled by pasternak foundation. composite structure is modeled based on piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pfr...

Abstract A novel mixed framework and energy‐momentum consistent integration scheme in the field of coupled nonlinear thermo‐electro‐elastodynamics is proposed. The environment primarily based on a for elastodynamics case polyconvex strain energy functions. For this elastodynamic framework, properties so‐called tensor cross product are exploited to derive formulation via Hu‐Washizu type extensio...

We experimentally demonstrate feedback controlling of the resonant wavelength of a silicon dual-ring resonator. The feedback signal is the difference in optical scattering from the two coupled microring resonators, and the control mechanism is based on thermo-optic tuning with micro-heaters. This control scheme keeps the central wavelength of the resonator aligning with the input wavelength, wh...

The numerical simulation of the crack welding process is reported in this paper. The thermo-electro-structural coupled-field finite element analysis is adopted to investigate the welding process of crack surfaces. In the simulation, the pressure-dependent and temperature-dependent electrical contact conditions are considered. From the results, the crack surfaces can melt and weld together under...

This paper presents the general knowledge, theory and methodology of life management that used in electric power transformer. The paper also discusses the basic failure theory and method to establish failure model of power transformer. Insulation ageing is a problem due to dielectric, chemical, thermal and electro-mechanic stresses, which is highly depending on operational conditions. Life mana...

This paper presents LOGISIM, a CAD tool to simulate the temporal behaviour of hybrid circuits containing electro-mechanical, electrohydraulic, hydro-mechanic, and digital control devices. LOGISIM combines the advantages of both qualitative and quantitative reasoning by producing a high-level description (discrete states) of the circuit behaviour while reasoning at the quantitative level (physic...

In MEMS capacitive microphone design, it is very critical to get highest yielding rate and sensitivity as the two major factors dominate structure design of microphone. The centralpost MEMS microphone is introduced in this paper to differentiate from traditional fixed membrane boundary microphone since the construction is simple and only few masks are required in the process so that the yieldin...

A selective electrothermal magnetic annealing technique is introduced that provides programming capabilities for mechanical micro-resonators. In the proposed approach the magnetic properties of resonators can be locally tuned in a post-fabrication batch-compatible process step. A prototype is implemented in a standard microfabrication process, where resonating ferromagnetic elements are suspend...

The dispersion analysis in a fluid filled and immersed thermo–electro elastic hollow cylinder composed of homogeneous, transversely isotropic material is studied within the frame work of linear theory of elasticity. The motions of the cylinder are formulated using the constitutive equations of a transversely isotropic piezo–thermo elastic material with a preferred material direction collinear w...
