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...

Abstract. This work presents an accurate and efficient numerical tool for geometrically nonlinear thermoelastic analyses of thin-walled structures. The structure is discretized by isogeometric solid-shell model avoiding the parameterization finite rotations. An modeling thermal strains, temperature-dependent materials general temperature profiles proposed. Then, a generalized path-following met...

A two-dimensional theoretical model for the field generated in the thermoelastic regime by line-focused laser illumination of a homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic half-space is presented. The model accounts for the effects of thermal diffusion and optical penetration, as well as the finite width and duration of the laser source. The model is obtained by solving the thermoelastic problem i...

In all laser treatments at the fundus of the eye the temperature increase is unknown. In order to optimize the treatment modalities, a noninvasive online temperature determination is preferable. Method: Applying laser pulses to the fundus, thermoelastic stress waves are emitted based on the thermal expansion of the heated tissue, mainly the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The amplitude of the...

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...
