Thermoelastic Stress Analysis for Linear Thermoelastic Bodies

The thermoelastic stress analysis for linear thermoelastic bodies is developed as a mathematical support to the infra-red radiometric method (SPATE) applied to structures under cyclic loading conditions.

Domain-independent Thermoelastic Coupling Suitable for Aero-thermoelastic Modeling

In this paper, a novel domain-independent nonlinear thermoelastic model suitable for aerothermoelastic investigations is generated with which a continuous power transformation frame between the elastic and thermal domains is formed. To achieve this, first, a distinctive power distribution of each domain is defined by means of the Bond graph notation, and the corresponding governing equation for...

Observation of Mammalian Similarity Through Allometric Scaling Laws

We discuss the problem of observation of natural similarity in skeletal evolution of terrestrial mammals. Analysis is given by means of testing of the power scaling laws established in long bone allometry, which describe development of bones (of length L and diameter D) with body mass in terms of the growth exponents, e.g. λ = d logL/d logD . The bone-size evolution scenario given three decades...

Laws of Attraction: From Perceived Forces to Conceptual Similarity

Many of the pressing questions in information visualization deal with how exactly a user reads a collection of visual marks as information about relationships between entities. Previous research has suggested that people see parts of a visualization as objects, and may metaphorically interpret apparent physical relationships between these objects as suggestive of data relationships. We explored...
