Many electroactive functional materials have been used in smalland microscale transducers and precision mechatronic control systems for years. It was not until the mid-1980s that scientists started integrating electroactive materials with large-scale structures as in situ sensors and/or actuators, thus introducing the concept of smart materials, smart structures, and structronic systems. This p...

In this paper, the surface waves propagation in a generalized magneto-thermoelastic materials taking (Green Lindsay) model with voids and initial stress is investigated. The basic governing equations have been formulated in xz-plane and the magnetic field is considered in y-axis that acts perpendicular to the wave propagation. Lame's potential method is applied to solve the problem. The boundar...

The metriplectic framework, which allows for the formulation of an algebraic structure for dissipative systems, is applied to visco-resistive Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD), adapting what had already been done for non-ideal Hydrodynamics (HD). The result is obtained by extending the HD symmetric bracket and free energy to include magnetic …eld dynamics and resistive dissipation. The correct equati...
