A method using experimental nanoindentation and inverse finite-element analysis (FEA) has been developed that enables the spatial variation of material constitutive properties to be accurately determined. The method was used to measure property variation in a three-dimensional printed (3DP) polymeric material. The accuracy of the method is dependent on the applicability of the constitutive mode...

The problem treated here is to determinethe viscosity effect on stresses, temperature change and chemical potential in a circular plate. The mathematical formulation is applied to two theories of thermoelastic diffusion developed by Sherief et al. [27] with one relaxation time and Kumar and Kansal [9]with two relaxation times. Laplace and Hankel transform techniques are used to obtain the expre...

This paper is concerned with the surface and small scale effects on transverse vibration of a viscoelastic single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. The SLGS is surrounded by an elastic medium which is simulated as Visco-Pasternak foundation. In order to investigate the small scale effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is employed due to its simplicity and ...
