this study simulates the temperature field and temperature stress of concrete face slabs, considering the cold waves that occur during construction as well as the contact friction between the face slabs and the cushion layer. the results show that when a cold wave occurs during construction, the surface and center temperature of the face slabs continually drop with the outside air temperature, ...

due to high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale structures, surface stress effects have a significant influence on their behavior. in this paper, a two-dimensional problem for an elastic layer that is bonded to a rigid substrate and subjected to an inclined concentrated line load acting on the surface of the layer is investigated based on gurtin-murdoch continuum model to consider surface stre...

the major problem in material removal process specially grinding is heat generation during the process and thus residual stress on the surface of product. therefore, optimization of high efficiency deep grinding (hedg) process is the main goal of this study in order to reduce heat and residual stress and also increase strength and surface hardness of aisi1045 steel by optimization of the proces...

the present paper studies the possibility of propagation of torsional surface waves in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer lying between two heterogeneous half-spaces (upper and lower half-space). both the half-spaces are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. the study reveals that under the assumed conditions, a torsional surface wave propagates in the medium. the dispersion relation ...

the new non-conventional cutting process by the use of thermal shock is a convenient procedure for cutting the brittle materials such as glasses and ceramics. this method is based on the application of localized thermal shock to brittle materials by the use of hot air jet, which induces thermal stresses at the tip of an existed pre-crack. due to the thermo-elastic behavior of materials, the pre...

objective: repair of an indirect restoration is usually preferred over its replacement. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of silane in different surface preparation techniques on the bond strength of direct to indirect composite resin.   methods: for this in vitro experimental study, 48 indirect composite cubes were fabricated, divided into 4 groups of 12 and subjected to the following pr...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to determine the stress patterns within an implant and the effect of different types of connections on load transfer. materials and methods. three different types of implant-abutment connections were selected for this study. sample a: 1.5-mm deep internal hex corresponding to a lead-in bevel; sample b: a tri-channel internal connection; and sample ...
