The present study focused mainly on the vibration analysis of composite laminated plates subjected tothermal and mechanical loads or without any load (free vibration). Natural frequency dynamicresponse are analyzed by analytical, numerical experimental (by using impact hammer) fordifferent cases. investigation is to manufacture laminates find mechanicaland thermal properties glass-polyester suc...

A unified thermodynamic framework for the characterization of functional materials is developed. This framework encompasses linear reversible and irreversible processes with thermal, electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical effects coupled. The comprehensive framework combines the principles of classical equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics with electrodynamics of continua in the infin...

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...

Title of Document: THERMO-MECHANICAL DESIGN STUDY OF FIBER OPTIC PRESSURE SENSOR DIAPHRAGMS. Yasir Majeed, Master of Science, Mechanical Engineering, 2009 Directed By: Professor Abhijit Dasgupta, Department of Mechanical Engineering This thesis parametrically explores the nonlinear design sensitivity of a fiber optic pressure sensor (FOPS), based on selected thermo-mechanical failure mechanisms...

Free vibration of a simply-supported magneto-electro-elastic doubly-curved nano-shell is studied based on the first-order shear deformation theory in the presence of the rotary inertia effect. To model the electric and magnetic behaviors of the nano-shell, Gauss’s laws for electrostatics and magneto statics are used. By using Navier’s method, the partial differential equations of motion are red...

In this paper we have studied the effect of magneto-static field onpropagation of thermal wave generated in metal by pulsed laser. In fact this interactiongenerate acoustic wave in different mechanisms. However, always the commonmechanism in the interactions of laser pulse and metal is the thermo-elastic wavegeneration. Applying the suitable magneto-static field on the s...
