We analyze plane strain deformations of a representative volume element (RVE) to evaluate effective thermophysical parameters of a particulate composite comprised of two perfectly bonded heat conducting elasto-thermo-visco-plastic constituents. It is assumed that the composite is also isotropic and its response elasto-thermo-visco-plastic. Effective values of material parameters so computed are...

The advent of flat-panel displays has opened the era of macroelectronics. Enthusiasm is gathering to develop macroelectronics as a platform for many technologies, ranging from paper-like displays to thin-film solar cells, technologies that aim to address the essential societal needs for easily accessible information, renewable energy, and sustainable environment. The widespread use of these lar...

Understanding interpenetrated polymer networks mechanical interactions by micromechanics modeling of their linear viscoelasticity.

Carbon Nanotubes reinforced composite materials are widely used in aerospace engineering due to high strength-to-weight ratios, which can be tailored per requirements. The behaviour of the structures depends on various factors like, Lamination scheme, Ply orientation and loading conditions. In present work, Static deflection stresses analysis a Nano Tube laminated hybrid plate extends First Ord...

The motion along the basilar membrane in the cochlea is due to the interaction between the micromechanical behaviour of the organ of Corti and the fluid movement in the scalae. By dividing the length of the cochlea into a finite number of elements and assuming a given radial distribution of the basilar membrane motion for each element, a set of equations can be separately derived for the microm...
