in this article, finite difference method (fdm) is used to study the size-dependent free vibration characteristics of rectangular nanoplates considering the surface stress effects. to include the surface effects in the equations, gurtin-murdoch continuum elasticity approach has been employed. the effects of surface properties including the surface elasticity, surface residual stress and surface...

In recent years, dielectrophoresis based microfluidics systems have been used to manipulate colloids, inert particles, and biological microparticles, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cancer cells, bacteria, yeast, micro‌organisms, proteins, DNA, etc. In the current study the governing electric potential equations have been solved in the presence of cell for the purpose of ...

the effect of partial slip and temperature dependent fluid properties on the mhd mixed convection flow from a heated, non-linearly stretching surface in the presence of radiation and non-uniform internal heat generation/absorption is investigated. the velocity of the stretching surface was assumed to vary according to power-law form. thermal transport is analyzed for two types of non-isothermal...

Ah&act--It is shown that in solid mechanics a skin effect is associated with anisotropy. Near a free surface or a surface of discontinuity certain components of the stress field vary rapidly from zero to a maximum within a thin skin. The thickness of this skin tends to vanish for increasing anisotropy. A stress concentration also occurs whereby certain stress components are amplified within the...

leaf rolling, especially in cereals, mechanisms for reducing the light receiving surface of the leaves to reduce transpiration rate in response to drought caused. to investigate the effect of drought stress on leaf rolling and leaf anatomical characteristics, yield and yield components in field experiment was conducted bahonar university . in this experiment, five varieties of wheat (shole, omi...

A two dimensional deformation due to internal heat source in a thermoelastic solid with microtemperatures under the dependence of modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity on reference temperature has been studied. A mechanical force of constant magnitude is applied at the free surface of thermoelastic half space. The normal modes technique has been applied to obtain the exact expressions ...

After undergoing a manufacturing process, materials may exhibit internal stresses referred to as residual stresses. In steel-composite hybrid structures, residual stresses are typically formed due to the unequal thermal behaviour of the steel and composite. Thus, knowledge of the residual stress state is important in the assessment of the external-internal loading in steel-composite hybrid stru...
