The generalized dynamical theory of thermo-elasticity proposed by Green and Lindsay is applied to study the propagation of harmonically time-dependent thermo-viscoelastic plane waves of assigned frequency in an infinite visco-elastic solid of Kelvin-Voigt type, when the entire medium rotates with a uniform angular velocity. A more general dispersion equation is deduced to determine the effects ...

Thermosensitive TRP (thermo TRP) channels are well recognized for their contributions to sensory transduction, responding to a wide variety of stimuli including temperature, nociceptive stimuli, touch, and osmolarity. However, the precise roles for the thermo TRP channels during development have not been determined. To explore the functional importance of thermo TRP channels during neural devel...

A general framework for the thermodynamics of open systems is presented. The theory is fundamentally based on the generalized balance of mass, which is enhanced by additional surface-°ux and volume-source terms. The presentation highlights the in°uence of the enhanced mass balance on the remaining balance equations. To clarify the impact of the variable reference density, we introduce the notio...

The dissipated energy from periodic deformation is regarded as the main reason for heat generation and temperature rise inside the tire domain. However, the mechanical behavior of rubber parts is highly temperature dependent. In most performed investigations, the influence of thermal effects on stress/ deformation fields of pneumatic tires is ignored and just temperature distribution is conside...

The activity of thermo-transient receptor potential (TRP) channels is highly dependent on temperature, and thus thermo-TRP reactions have a high temperature coefficient Q 10. In thermodynamics, a high value of Q 10 indicates the existence of a large activation energy (i.e., a large enthalpy) over a short period during the transition process between the closed and open states of the channels. Th...

The FEMLAB code based on weak formulation of PDE’s problem was used at a solution of feedback thermo-mechanical interaction in pre-pressed rubber block used for resilient elements of the composed tram wheels. The structural motion and heat conduction equations are solved interactively as time dependent problems. The equality of heat energy density and dissipation energy density realizes the cou...

To compensate for the temperature dependency of a standard FBG, a cladding-etched FBG immersed with a liquid mixture having a negative thermo-optic coefficient is presented, and its characteristics are investigated. The Bragg wavelength of the cladding-etched FBG is shifted counter to the direction of the Bragg wavelength shift of a conventional FBG according to the mixing ratio of glycerin to ...

Thermo-hyperelastic problems at finite strains belong to a category of non-linear coupled problems that impose challenges on their numerical treatment. We present the weak-form for a 1-D coupled, stationary, thermo-hyperelastic system with constant or temperature-dependent material properties. The coupled system is discretized by a ‘monolithic’ high-order finite element method (p-FEM) based on ...
