Moving loads on elastic and thermoelastic solids

Wave Propagation at an Interface of Elastic and Microstretch Thermoelastic Solids with Microtemperatures

In the present paper, the problem of reflection and transmission of waves at an interface of elastic and microstretch thermoelastic solids with microtemperatureshas been studied. The amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are functions of angle of incidence and frequency of incident wave. The expressions of amplitude ratios have been computed numerically for a particular mo...

A Mixture Theory for Micropolar Thermoelastic Solids

On the Nonlinear Theory of Micromorphic Thermoelastic Solids

This work aims to study some dynamical problems in the framework of nonlinear theory of micromorphic thermoelastic solids. First, the continuous dependence of smooth admissible thermodynamic processes upon initial state and supply terms is investigated in the region of state space where the internal energy is a convex function and the elastic material behaves as a definite conductor of heat. Th...

Wetting of elastic solids on nanopillars.

Solids and liquids are both known to exhibit Cassie-Baxter states, where a drop or a solid nanoparticle is maintained on top of pillars due to wetting forces. We point out that due to elastic strain, solid nanocrystals exhibit a behavior different from that of liquids. First, the equilibrium Cassie-Baxter state on a single pillar exhibits a spontaneous symmetry breaking due to elastic effects. ...

Dynamic Analysis of Axially Beam on Visco - Elastic Foundation with Elastic Supports under Moving Load

For dynamic analyses of railway track structures, the algorithm of solution is very important. For estimating the important problems in the railway tracks such as the effects of rail joints, rail supports, rail modeling in the nearness of bridge and other problems, the models of the axially beam model on the elastic foundation can be utilized. For studying the effects of axially beam on the ela...
