A solution is given for the thermoelastic stress field due to the obstruction of a uniform heat flux by a plane crack in a generally anisotropic body. A Green's function formulation is used to reduce the problem to a set of singular integral equations which are solved in closed form. When the crack is assumed to be traction free, the crack opening displacement is found to be negative over one h...

This article is concerned with the theoretical analysis of the functionally graded magneto-electro-thermoelastic hollow sphere due to uniform surface heating. We analyze the transient thermoelastic problem for a functionally graded hollow sphere constructed of the spherical isotropic and linear magneto-electro-thermoelastic materials using a laminated composite mode as one of theoretical approx...

In this paper, the vibration of microbeams due to a temperature pulse has been investigated. The thermoelastic coupled equations for microbeam resonator have been derived via the modified theory of couple stress in connection with the generalized thermoelasticity with relaxation time. The analytical expressions for studied fields due to modified couple stress for the microbeam have been obtaine...

This paper presents a nonlinear model of a clamped-clamped microbeam actuated by an electrostatic load with stretching and thermoelastic effects. The frequency of free vibration is calculated by discretization based on the Differential Quadrature (DQ) Method. The frequency is a complex value due to the thermoelastic effect that dissipates energy. By separating the real and imaginary parts of fr...

Finding the thermoelastic damping in a vibrating body, for the most general case, involves the simultaneous solving of the three equations for displacements and one equation for temperature (called the heat equation). Since these are a set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations there is considerable difficulty in solving them, especially for finite geometries. This paper presents a...

The thermomechanical properties of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) such as elastic modulus, thermal conductivity, and coefficient of thermal expansions are determined by pores, cracks, and splat boundaries, which affect the thermoelastic properties of thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer and the fracture behavior in TBCs. The thermoelastic characteristics thus have been investigated through mathem...

The strain of GaN layers grown by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) on three vicinal 4H-SiC substrates (0, 3.4 and 8 offcut from [0001] towards [11-20] axis) is investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman Scattering and Cathodoluminescence (CL). The strain relaxation mechanisms are analyzed for each miscut angle. At a microscopic scale, the GaN layer grown on on-axis substrate ...

The efficacy of thermoelastic stress analysis for use in the study of moderately curved gas turbine blades is considered over a frequency range of 68 Hz to 3.4 kHz. A selection of blades, both industrial examples and simplified planar laboratory specimens, are excited at their natural vibration frequencies using both electromagnetic shakers and piezoelectric stack actuators, in order to develop...
