The present investigation deals with study of thermoelastic damping and frequency shift of Kirchhoff plate resonators by using generalized thermoelasticity theory of dual-phase-lag model. The basic equations of motion and heat conduction equation are written with the help of Kirchhoff-Love plate theory and dual phase lag model. The analytical expressions for thermoelastic damping and frequency ...

A model of the equations of two dimensional problems in a half space, whose surface in free of micropolar thermoelastic medium possesses cubic symmetry as a result of a Mode-I Crack is studied. There acts an initial magnetic field parallel to the plane boundary of the half- space. The crack is subjected to prescribed temperature and stress distribution. The formulation in the context of the Lor...

In this paper we consider the thermoelastic plate equation with localized thermal dissipation of memory type, proposed by Gurtin and Pipkin [3]. We will show that the solution of the corresponding model decays exponentially as time goes to infinity, provided the relaxation function decays exponentially. The mean difference with others thermoelastic system is that the whole system is of hyperbol...

Abstract: The null controllability problem is considered for 2-D thermoelastic plates under hinged mechanical boundary conditions. The resulting partial differential equation system generates an analytic semigroup on the space of finite energy. Consequently, because the thermoelastic system is associated with an infinite speed of propagation, the null controllability question is a suitable one ...

Introduction Composite materials are weak normal to the plane of the laminate due to a lack of through-thickness reinforcement, with strength dictated by the brittle epoxy matrix. Therefore it is important to evaluate the through-thickness load transfer in composite bonded joints because of their discontinuous nature to improve confidence in the join and inform more efficient joint designs. A d...

This paper is concerned with the study of propagation of Stoneley waves at the interface of two dissimilar isotropic microstretch thermoelastic diffusion medium in the context of generalized theories of thermoelasticity. The dispersion equation of Stoneley waves is derived in the form of a determinant by using the boundary conditions. The dispersion curves giving the phase velocity and attenuat...

An analysis is given of thermoelastic noise ~thermal noise due to thermoelastic dissipation! in finite sized test masses of laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors. Finite-size effects increase the thermoelastic noise by a modest amount; for example, for the sapphire test masses tentatively planned for LIGO-II and plausible beam-spot radii, the increase is &10 percent. As a side issue...
