Electro-magneto-thermo-elastic response of a thick double-layered cylinder made from a homogeneous interlayer and a functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) outer layer is investigated. Material properties of the FGPM layer vary along radius based on the power law distribution. The vessel is subjected to an internal pressure, an induced electric potential, a uniform magnetic field and ...

Rubber-like materials can undergo very large strains in a quasi-reversible way. This remarkable behavior is often called hyper (or entropic) elasticity. However, the presence of mechanical loops during a load-unload cycle is not consistent with a purely elastic behavior modeling. Using Digital Image Correlation and Infra-Red Thermography, the present study aims at observing and quantifying diss...

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.

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 unilateral contact problem without friction in quasi-coupled thermo-elasticity and with uncertain input data is analysed. The worst scenario method is used to nd the most "dangerous" admissible input data.

INTRODUCTION Qconv SUGAR is a simulation package for 3D MEMS devices that utilizes nodal analysis techniques [1]. It has been shown that nodal analysis is significantly faster than other simulation techniques and can be just as accurate. The latest version of SUGAR (v2.0) includes various models for 2D and 3D beams, electrical beams, and gap closing actuators [2]. In addition, SUGAR is easily e...

Energy estimates show that linearized thermo-elasticity deenes a contraction semi-group on a Hilbert space. We show that under a geometric condition this contraction is not strict, or, more precisely, the norm of the semi group is 1 for all t 0. Convex domains always satisfy the geometric condition. 2. introduction Let R n be a bounded domain with smooth boundary ?. We consider the problem @ 2 ...

In this work, we propose an efficient matrix decomposition algorithm for the Method of Fundamental Solutions when applied to three–dimensional boundary value problems governed by elliptic systems of partial differential equations. In particular, we consider problems arising in linear elasticity in axisymmetric domains. The proposed algorithm exploits the block circulant structure of the coeffic...
