Creep compliance measurements were shown to be effective in characterizing the elastic, retarded elastic, and viscous properties of polysulphide, silicone, and polyether impression materials. The test is particularly valuable in that the creep compliance was independent of load, allowing the mechanical properties to be represented by a single total creep compliance curve which can be used to de...

This paper investigates damping ratio in micro-beam resonators based on magneto-thermo-elasticity. A unique aspect of the present study is the effect of permanent magnetic field on the stiffness and thermo-elastic damping of the micro resonators. In our modeling the theory of thermo-elasticity with interacting of an externally applied permanent magnetic field is taken into account. Combined the...

Thermo-elastic damping is a significant dissipation mechanism in high quality factor microstructures. In this paper, thermo-elastic damping of the in-plane vibration of fully clamped rectangular micro-plates has been studied. The governing equation of the micro-plate motion and heat conduction equation were derived. Then, The Galerkin method has been used to solve the coupled heat-displacement ...

Using the general theory developed by the author in the previous paper, the problems of thermophoresis and diffusio-phoresis have been examined with a view to elucidating the effect of a general gas-surface scattering law on the associated forces. It is found that, in thermo-phoresis, there exists a close coupling between the first anisotropic moment of the gas-surface scattering law and the so...

this research develops thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded cylinder under thermo-mechanical loadings. heat conduction equation in cylindrical coordinate system is solved. thermal conductivity coefficient is graded along the radial direction. by considering a symmetric distribution of temperature, loading and boundary conditions, strain-displacement and stress-strain relations can b...

A Hadamard instability analysis of the partial differential equations governing a coupled thermo-mechano-chemical system predicts instability of the spinoidal decomposition type as well as instability of the "negative creep" type.

Under long-term loading creep conditions, mineralized biological tissues like bone are expected to behave in a similar manner to synthetic composites where the creeping matrix sheds load to the elastic reinforcement as creep deformation progresses. To study this mechanism in biological composites, creep experiments were performed at 37 °C on bovine compact bone and dentin. Static compressive st...

2. INTRODUCTION Piezoelectric effects are of increasing importance in the control and sensing of structural element deflections. Elastic piezoelectric theory has been extensively developed (Leibowitz & Vinson 1993). Hilton et al. (1997) have presented an extended bibliography and discussed past contributions as well as formulated an analytical nonlinear theory of anisotropic piezoelectric-therm...

High strength hydraulic concrete was introduced based on its thermo-dynamic and strain-stress characteristics. The compound exponential thermo-dynamic creep model was established. The temperature rise models were interpreted. The bisection constitutional model was deduced as the approach to express the strain-stress non-linearity of high strength hydraulic concrete. The key parameters on thermo...

Components in the industry are often exposed to elevated temperatures and high pressures. These conditions cause changes in the microstructure and thermo-mechanical properties of steel components. With the aim to determine the properties of steels after a certain period of operation, thermo-mechanical investigations and microstructure characterization can be made and the results of this investi...
