This paper presents an analytical solution for response of a piezoelectric hollow cylinder under two-dimensional electro thermo mechanical fields. The solution is based on a direct method and the Navier equations were solved using the complex Fourier series. The advantage of this method is its generality and from mathematical point of view, any type of the thermo mechanical and electrical bound...

in this study, physical vapor deposition (pvd) ti-cr-n coatings were deposited at two different temperatures100 and 400ºc on hardened and tempered tool steel substrates. the influence of the applied deposition temperature on the physical and mechanical properties of coatings such as roughness, thickness, phase composition, hardness and young’s modulus were evaluated. phase compositions were stu...

Mechanical Ventilation provides a comprehensive theoretical background and practical approach to mechanical ventilation. It is written primarily for respiratory therapists, but critical care and respiratory physicians and nurses will find many aspects of the book invaluable, particularly the clear and concise descriptions of the different modes of mechanical ventilation, their advantages and di...

In this paper a multiphysics approach to study the optical properties of integrated waveguides influenced by thermal and mechanical stress is presented. The heating and pressure effects are evaluated by means the Heat Transfer and Structural Mechanics modules respectively. Finally, the Electromagnetics Module is used in order to evaluate the optical eigenfunctions and eigenvalues.

In this paper we introduce an approach to model technological process of manufacture of a field-effect heterotransistor. The modeling gives us possibility to optimize the technological process to decrease length of channel by using mechanical stress. As accompanying results of the decreasing one can find decreasing of thickness of the heterotransistors and increasing of their density, which wer...

a bionanocomposite film was developed by nanoclay incorporation to chitosan films, using a solution casting method and the effects of nanoclay concentration (0.5, 1.0, and 3% w/w) on the physical and mechanical properties of the chitosan films were evaluated. moreover, x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy, and fourier transform infrared spectra (ftir) were used for studying mic...

tomato is one of the sensitive fruits to mechanical impacts and physical tensions. the mostmechanical damages arise from handling which results in reducing tomato quality. in this study,impact energy effect has been studied in 3 different levels 0, 0.14 and 0.25 j by a pendulum impactapparatus, on changes of physicochemical properties of tomato, hybrid variety shiva f1, includingripening factor...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of applying methods andamount of ammonium polyphosphate (0, 2 and 4 wt%) on fire retardancy andmechanical properties of wood flour/polypropylene composites. the resultsshowed that addition of fire retardant improved the mechanical properties such astensile and flexural strengths and fire retardancy of composites. but by increasingof fire retar...

equal channel angular rolling (ecar) is a severe plastic deformation method that covered plasticdeformation of sheets. in this study, effects of ecar route shave been investigated on themechanical and microstructure properties of explosive-welded al-cu bimetal. at first, the explosivewelding process has been performed to prepare the al-cu bimetals. then, to relieve the stress andpreparing of sa...
