The effect of the temperature and initial hydrostatic stress has been shown on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a viscoelastic half-space. It has been explained how the velocity of Rayleigh waves depends not only on the parameters pertaining to the viscoelastic properties of the half-space, but on the temperature and the initial hydrostatic stress of the half-space also. The variations of t...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the influences of rotation, magnetic field, initial stress, and gravity field on Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous orthotropic elastic medium. The government equations is solved by Lame’s potential and obtained the frequency equation which determines the velocity of Rayleigh waves, including rotation, initial stress, gravity field, and magnetic field, in a ...

In this paper, the effect of initial stress on the radial vibrations of elastic hollow cylinder with rotation is discussed. The one-dimensional equation of elastodynamic is solved in terms of radial displacement. The frequency equation is obtained when the boundaries are free; fixed and mixed boundary condition is examined numerically. The determination is concerned with the eigenvalues of the ...

One hundred and forty-five children’s (2–13-year-olds) self-descriptions of how much they cried when injured and subsequently treated in a hospital emergency room were used as predictors of their recall accuracy, completeness and number of unique details in interviews occurring a week, a year and 2 years later. Hierarchical regressions showed that stress was related to all three ways of evaluat...

A modelling effort was made to try to predict the life of downhole tubes or casings, synthetically considering the effect of service influencing factors on corrosion rate. Based on the discussed corrosion mechanism and corrosion processes of downhole tubes, a mathematic model was established. For downhole tubes, the influencing factors are environmental parameters and stress, which vary with se...
