An analysis of unsteady MHD flow of an electrically conducting visco-elastic fluid confined between two horizontal parallel non conducting plates in presence of a transverse magnetic field and Hall current is presented. The lower plate is a stretching sheet while the upper one is an oscillating porous plate, which is oscillating in its own plane. The motion of the fluid is produced by the stret...

Correction manoeuvres are as important as the other issues such as hardware selection, graft options, fusion and osteotomy techniques in the surgical treatment of spinal deformities.The property of materials demonstrating both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation is called visco-elasticity. Purely elastic materials change in shape with a stress, and go back to their i...

The variability of thermoelastic stresses at the Earth’s surface is investigated on different scales with a three–dimensional numerical model. Energy transfer by heat conduction and radiation of sun, atmosphere and Earth’s surface is regarded. It is shown that thermoelastic stresses are considerably high, so that they are able to assist faulting and thus force weathering of rocks. Their morphol...

In this study, forced-vibration analysis of a coupled system of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) subjected to the moving nano-particle is carried out based on nonlocal elasticity theory of orthotropic plate. Two SLGSs are coupled with elastic medium which is simulated by Pasternak and Visco-Pasternak models. Using Hamilton’s principle, governing differential equations of motion are derive...

Photoacoustic (PA) signals of CsPbCl3 crystals have been examined in a wide temperature range of 150–300 K. The PA signals, induced by ns-pulsed laser excitation of electronic states and detected with a piezoelectric transducer, are thermoelastic ultrasonic waves lasting for hundreds of microseconds. The wavelet analysis of the PA wave has clarified that the thermoelastic wave includes several ...

The thermoelastic effect was used to produce high-frequency, broadband ultrasound in water. A pulsed diode laser, followed by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier, was focused onto a light-absorbing film deposited on a glass substrate. Conversion efficiency was improved by over 20 dB using an elastomeric film instead of a more commonly used metallic one. Radiation pattern measurements show that cons...

Lp–Lq decay estimates of solutions to Cauchy problems of linear thermoelastic systems with second sound in three spatial variables are studied. By carefully analysis of the different effects of higher, middle and lower frequencies in phase space, the asymptotic behaviour of characteristic roots of coefficient matrices is obtained. Then, with the help of the information on characteristic roots a...

Fs laser nanosurgery is characterized by the formation of low-density plasma followed by chemical effects of the free electrons (bond breaking), thermal effects, and compressive and tensile thermoelastic stress waves that produce transient cavitation bubbles. Dissection using oscillator pulse trains at >> 1 MHz is usually performed at energies well below the bubble formation threshold and thus ...

In this work, thermoelastic damping effect on the hemispherical shells is investigated. The material is selected silicon, and heat conduction equation for thermal flow is solved to obtain the temperature profile in which bending approximation with inextensional assumption of the model. Using the temperature profile, eigen-value analysis is performed to get the natural frequencies of hemispheric...

The evolution of the diffraction profiles during the fast thermoelastic deformation and structural transformations induced in a thin Ni film by short pulse laser irradiation is investigated in molecular dynamics simulations. Fast disappearance of the diffraction peaks characteristic for the initial crystal structure is related to the homogeneous nucleation and growth of liquid regions inside th...
