METHODS: Design: Retrospective interventional case series. Study population: 21 eyes from 21 patients who underwent visco-bubble technique for DALK, which involves the injection of ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) into the deep stroma to form a visco-bubble to separate Descemet ́s membrane from the posterior stroma. Surgeries were performed between May 2010 and January 2013. Main outcome ...

In the design of high Quality factor (Q) micro or nano beam resonators, different dissipation mechanisms may have damaging effects on the quality factor. One of the major dissipation mechanisms is the thermoelastic damping (TED) that needs an accurate consideration for prediction. In this paper, thermoelastic damping of the longitudinal vibration of a homogeneous micro beam with both ends clamp...

In this paper we study a one dimensional thermoelastic transmission problem of special string/beam structure: the two components are coupled at an interface (identified to $ 0 $). Either string or beam is supposed thermoelastic, heat flux given by Cattaneo's law instead usual Fourier's law. We prove that energy decay whole system exponential if thermoelastic. When only coupling decays polynomia...

The model of the equations of generalized magneto-thermoelasticity in an isotropic elastic medium with two–temperature under the effect initial stress is established. The entire elastic medium is rotated with a uniform angular velocity. The formulation is applied under three theories of generalized thermoelasticity: Lord–Shulman, Green–Lindsay, as well as the coupled theory. The Harmonic functi...

In this study, we investigated the effect of different solutions--coffee, tea, Turkish coffee, artificial saliva, mouthwash, denture cleanser, and distilled water--on the bond strength of soft lining materials (one acrylic- and three silicone-based) to acrylic resin. Acrylic specimens (40x10x10 mm) were prepared for the bond strength test. The specimens were stored in different solutions and te...

In this article, the influence of important parameters on size-dependent thermoelastic behavior functionally graded magneto-electro-thermo-elastic microcylinders (FGMEE) is studied by means modified stress couple theory and under combined mechanical-thermal-magnetic loads. The equations motion were derived considering linear shells first-order nonlocal shear deformation shells. following, resul...

Previous experimental measurements and linear stability analyses of curvilinear shearing flows of viscoelastic fluids have shown that the combination of streamwise curvature and elastic normal stresses can lead to flow destabilization. Torsional shear flows of highly elastic fluids with closed streamlines can also accumulate heat from viscous dissipation resulting in nonuniformity in the temper...
