Fs laser nanosurgery is characterized by the formation of low-density plasma followed by chemical effects of the free electrons (bond breaking), thermal effects, and compressive and tensile thermoelastic stress waves that produce transient cavitation bubbles. Dissection using oscillator pulse trains at >> 1 MHz is usually performed at energies well below the bubble formation threshold and thus ...

The evolution of the diffraction profiles during the fast thermoelastic deformation and structural transformations induced in a thin Ni film by short pulse laser irradiation is investigated in molecular dynamics simulations. Fast disappearance of the diffraction peaks characteristic for the initial crystal structure is related to the homogeneous nucleation and growth of liquid regions inside th...

We consider the stability properties for thermoelastic Bresse system which describes the motion of a linear planar shearable thermoelastic beam. The system consists of three wave equations and two heat equations coupled in certain pattern. The two wave equations about the longitudinal displacement and shear angle displacement are effectively damped by the dissipation from the two heat equations...

In this work, an analytical solution for thermoelastic waves in a metal induced by an ultrafast laser pulse was formulated in the form of a Fourier series. The two-step heat transfer model was applied to account for the thermal nonequilibrium between electrons and the lattice during ultrafast pulsed laser heating. The coupling between the strain rate and the temperature ®eld was also considered...

SUMMARY The paper presents a new methodology for identifying sub-surface damage in composite components using a combination of Pulse Phase Thermography (PPT) and Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA).

We analyze plane strain static thermoelastic deformations of a simply supported functionally graded (FG) plate by a meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method. Material moduli are assumed to vary only in the thickness direction. The plate material is made of two isotropic randomly distributed constituents and the macroscopic response is also modeled as isotropic. Displacements and stresses co...

Due to the high importance of viscoelastic materials in modern industrial applications, besides intensive popularity piezoelectric smart structures, analyzing their thermoelastic response extreme temperature conditions inevitably becomes very important. Accordingly, this research explores thermoviscoelastic sandwich plates made a functionally-graded Boltzmann core and two surrounding face-layer...

The material assumptions made to facilitate Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) are linear elasticity, material homogeneity and isotropy, and mechanical properties that are independent of temperature. The unusual shape memory and superelastic properties of near equiatomic NiTi alloys complicate the application of any experimental stress analysis technique, and in the case of TSA, make these ass...

The present article deals with the study of propagation of plane waves in isotropic generalized thermoelastic diffusion with voids under initial stress. It is found that, for two dimensional model of isotropic generalized thermoelastic diffusion with voids under initial stress, there exists four coupled waves namely, P wave, Mass Diffusion (MD) wave, thermal (T) wave and Volume Fraction (VF) wa...

Meshfree methods are viewed as next generation computational techniques. With evident limitations of conventional grid based methods, like FEM, in dealing with problems of fracture mechanics, large deformation, and simulation of manufacturing processes, meshfree methods have gained much attention by researchers. A number of meshfree methods have been proposed till now for analyzing complex prob...
