In previous work, a series of theoretical considerations have been made aimed at identifying the source and assessing prominent factors influencing the thermoelastic response from laminated composites. In this paper four different methods of interpreting the data are investigated and the theoretical thermoelastic response is compared to experimental data to identify the source of the thermoelas...

A two-dimensional heat conduction problem in which a liquid becomes solidified by heat transfer to a sinusoidal mold of finite thickness is solved by using a linear perturbation method. The liquid perfectly wets the sinusoidal mold surface prior to the beginning of solidification. This leads to a corresponding undulation of the solidified shell thickness. Both surfaces of the mold follow a sinu...

The vertical ultrasonic surface displacement generated by a laser-induced, thermoelelastic, rectangular surface strip source is formulated. The main features of this source, ultrasonic rise times comparable to those of the generating light pulse derivatives, and a large amplitude, double-pulsed waveform, are advantageous for ultrasonic spectraland time-domain measurements for nondestructive mat...

in this study, the vibration behavior of functional graded (fg) circular and annular nanoplate embedded in a visco-pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change is studied. the effect of in-plane pre-load and temperature change are investigated on the vibration frequencies of fg circular and annular nanoplate. to obtain the vibration frequencies of the fg circular and annular nanopla...

this paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. the two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low reynolds number. the exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave fra...

The use of resin film infusion (RFI) has been proven to reduce the cost of production of aircraft secondary sandwich structure. In this paper thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) is used to assess the performance of full scale aircraft sandwich structure panels produced using both the conventional autoclave process and RFI. Finite element (FE) models of both panel types are developed and TSA is ...
