In this article, the problem of time-dependent stress redistribution of a piezomagnetic rotating thick-walled cylinder under an axisymmetric hygro-thermo-magneto-electro-mechanical loading is analyzed analytically for the condition of plane strain. Using the constitutive equations, a differential equation is found in which there are creep strains. Primarily, eliminating creep strains, an analyt...

Optimal structural design of cylindrical shells under overall bending, torsion, tension and internal pressure in creep conditions is considered. The material is assumed to be governed by the Norton-Odqvist nonlinear steady creep law. Minimal weight of the shell is the design objective, radius and wall thickness are design variables, and the constraint refers to brittle creep rupture as describe...

This paper reports the development of finite element software for creep damage analysis. Creep damage deformation and failure of high temperature structure is a serious problem for power generation and it is even more technically demanding under the current increasing demand of power and economic and sustainability pressure. This paper primarily consists of three parts: 1) the need and the just...

This study examines how thermal creep affects the mixed convection in a long horizontal parallel-plate microchannel under a pressure drop and a temperature rise. The analytical solutions of the fully developed thermal-flow fields and the corresponding characteristics are derived based on the Maxwell boundary conditions with thermal creep and presented for the physical properties of air at the s...

ABSTRACT Assessment of wind erosion parameters applicable to the field scale using wind tunnels requires attention to both scal...

We identify “spurious” states in meson-baryon scattering, those that appear in QCD for Nc > 3 but decouple for Nc = 3. The key observation is that the relevant flavor SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients contain factors of 1−3/Nc. We show that this method works even if SU(3) is badly broken. We also observe that resonant scattering poles lying outside naive quark model multiplets are not necessari...

introduction: nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. a majority of soft biological tissues such as ligaments and tendons exhibit viscoelastic or time-dependent behaviors. the constitutive characterization of soft tissues is among very important subjects in clinical medicine and espe...

Time dependent plastic deformation in metals can occur at high temperatures. Typically the creep test is conducted to characterize the deformation features; however, the conventional uniaxial power-law creep test may be impractical for small scale materials. Accordingly, instrumented indentation techniques are frequently employed. This study concerns the employment of instrumented indentation t...
