Study of Piston Thermo-Elastic Behaviour under Thermomechanical Solicitations

Closed Form Solution for Electro-Magneto-Thermo-Elastic Behaviour of Double-Layered Composite Cylinder

Electro-magneto-thermo-elastic response of a thick double-layered cylinder made from a homogeneous interlayer and a functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) outer layer is investigated. Material properties of the FGPM layer vary along radius based on the power law distribution. The vessel is subjected to an internal pressure, an induced electric potential, a uniform magnetic field and ...

Magneto-Thermo-Elastic Behavior of Cylinder Reinforced with FG SWCNTs Under Transient Thermal Field

In this article, magneto-thermo-elastic stresses and perturbation of magnetic field vector are analyzed for a thick-walled cylinder made from polystyrene, reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in radial direction, while subjected to an axial and uniform magnetic field as well as a transient thermal field. Generalized plane strain state is considered in...

Characterization of Thermomechanical Behaviour of Skin Tissue II. Viscoelastic Behaviour

paper presents the viscoelastic behaviour of skin tissue under different thermal loadings and discusses the effect of temperature and corresponding dermal collagen denaturation on the mechanical viscoelastic properties of skin tissue. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been used to detect dermal collagen denaturation and to assess its thermal stability. The DSC results under various he...

Simplest piston problem. I. Elastic collisions.

We study the dynamics of three elastic particles in a finite interval where two light particles are separated by a heavy "piston." The piston undergoes surprisingly complex motion that is oscillatory at short time scales but seemingly chaotic at longer scales. The piston also makes long-duration excursions close to the ends of the interval that stem from the breakdown of energy equipartition. M...
