in this paper, a thermoelasticity solution for steady state response of thick cylinders which are subjected to pressure and external heat flux in inner surface is presented. displacement field obeys the kinematics of the first order shear deformation theory (fsdt). it is assumed that the temperature varies both along the length and the thickness. the variation of the temperature occurs linearly...

National Bureau of Standards Gaithersburg, MD 20899 Studies of transient wave propagation in plates were carried out to establish a basis for the impact-echo technique as a nondestructive test for flaw detection in concrete. The surface displacements caused by stress waves generated by point impact on a plate were calculated using both the Green's function solution and the finite element method...

Electro-thermo-elastic stress analysis of piezoelectric polymeric thick-walled cylinder reinforced by boronnitride nanotubes (BNNTs) subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical fields is presented in this article. The electro-thermo-elastic properties of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PEFRC) was studied by a modified XY micromechanical model capable of exhibiting full coupling relati...

Modern large displacement optical flow algorithms usually use an initialization by either sparse descriptor matching techniques or dense approximate nearest neighbor fields. While the latter have the advantage of being dense, they have the major disadvantage of being very outlier-prone as they are not designed to find the optical flow, but the visually most similar correspondence. In this artic...

The present work is motivated by the idea that the layer deformation in anisotropic elasticity can be estimated from the theory of interfacial dislocations. In effect, this work which is an extension of a previous approach given by one of the authors determines the anisotropic displacement fields and the critical thickness due to a complex biperiodic network of MDs lying just below the free sur...

The increase of interest in the study of human biological tissues led to the characterization of certain biological materials which have a hyperelastic mechanical behaviour [Afonso, 2008 and Martins, 2006]. Traditionally are used experimental tests to characterize such materials, however, these have been replaced by numerical simulations using finite element codes, with advantages from the poin...
