this paper presents theoretical and numerical state-of-the-art information in the field of hygro-thermo-mechanical deformation simulation in structural concrete. the aspects discussed include coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical performance of porous materials including concrete, multi-scale simulation of concrete properties especially the volumetric and structural deformation performance, and the m...

Abstract Supercritical boiler system has been widely used to increase efficiency of electricity generation in power plant industries. However, the supercritical operating condition can seriously affect structural integrity components due high temperature that causes degradation material properties. Pressure reducing valve is an important component being employed within a main steam line boiler,...

this paper presents a comprehensive case study on electro-mechanical analysis of mems[1] variable capacitors. using the fundamental mechanical and electrical equations, static and dynamic behaviors of the device are studied. the analysis is done for three different modes, namely: dc (static mode), small signal ac and large signal regime. a complete set of equations defining dynamic behavior of ...

The dispersion analysis in a fluid filled and immersed thermo–electro elastic hollow cylinder composed of homogeneous, transversely isotropic material is studied within the frame work of linear theory of elasticity. The motions of the cylinder are formulated using the constitutive equations of a transversely isotropic piezo–thermo elastic material with a preferred material direction collinear w...

The electro-thermomechanical modeling study of the High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) has been presented, all necessary equations are detailed and coupled. This proposed by finite element method using Comsol multiphysics software, allowed to behaviour transistor observe different degradations in structure component. Then, an optimization is avoid failures transistor. In this work, we have...

Ultra-compact silicon-photonic-crystal-waveguide-based thermo-optic and electro-optical Mach-Zehnder interferometers have been proposed and fabricated. Thermal and electrical simulations and optical characterizations have been performed. Experimental results were in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

Electromagnetic signals in the ultralow frequency (ULF) range below 3 kHz are well suited for underwater and underground wireless communication thanks to low signal attenuation high penetration depth. However, it is challenging design ULF transmitters that simultaneously compact energy efficient using traditional approaches, e.g., coils or dipole antennas. Recent works have considered magneto-m...

The behavior of an exponentially graded hybrid cylindrical shell subjected to an axisymmetric thermo-electro-mechanical loading placed in a constant magnetic field is investigated. The hybrid shell is consisted of a functionally graded host layer  embedded with pyroelectric layers as sensor and/or actuator  that can be imperfectly bonded to the inner and the outer surfaces of a shell. The shell...
