The behavior of an exponentially graded hybrid cylindrical shell subjected to an axisymmetric thermo-electro-mechanical loading placed in a constant magnetic field is investigated. The hybrid shell is consisted of a functionally graded host layer  embedded with pyroelectric layers as sensor and/or actuator  that can be imperfectly bonded to the inner and the outer surfaces of a shell. The shell...

The in-plane thermo-elastic behaviour of woven fabric reinforced composites is analysed using a combination of published micromechanics and finite element techniques. The repetitive unit of an arbitrary woven fabric composite is divided into elements of which the thermo-elastic properties are determined using micromechanics. The properties of the repetitive unit are obtained using the finite el...

The generalized dynamical theory of thermo-elasticity proposed by Green and Lindsay is applied to study the propagation of harmonically time-dependent thermo-viscoelastic plane waves of assigned frequency in an infinite visco-elastic solid of Kelvin-Voigt type, when the entire medium rotates with a uniform angular velocity. A more general dispersion equation is deduced to determine the effects ...

The suspended electrothermal polysilicon micro beams generate displacements and forces by thermal buckling effects. In the previous electro-thermal and thermo-elastic models of suspended polysilicon micro beams, the thermo-mechanical properties of polysilicon have been considered constant over a wide rang of temperature (20900°C). In reality, the thermo-mechanical properties of polysilicon depe...
