Electro-magneto-thermo-elastic response of a thick double-layered cylinder made from a homogeneous interlayer and a functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) outer layer is investigated. Material properties of the FGPM layer vary along radius based on the power law distribution. The vessel is subjected to an internal pressure, an induced electric potential, a uniform magnetic field and ...

nowadays, due to the increasing power of diesel engines, especially heavy duty diesel engines, and increasing gas pressure inside the combustion chamber, the forces acting on the engine bearings have dramatically raised. on the other hand, becaus eof the competition in the market, it is necessary to increase the engine bearing life and reduce its failure as much as possible. the engine bearings...

the residual stresses in composite laminates depend on several factors including the conditions of fabricating process, property of materials, direction and lay-ups of the layers. however the thermo-elastic behavior of composite is one of the most important parameters affecting the magnitude of residual stresses. the elastic properties and residual stresses do not remain constant under cyclic t...

Ribbed reinforcing steel bars (rebars) are used for the reinforcement of concrete structures. In service, they subjected to cyclic loading. Several studies addressing relationship between rib geometry, stresses at rebar surface induced by service loads and fatigue performance can be found in literature. However, rebar’s is also influenced residual originating from manufacturing process. this co...

A three-dimensional micromechanics-based analytical model is developed to study thermo-mechanical properties of polymer composites reinforced with randomly distributed silica nanoparticles. Two important factors in nanocomposites modeling using micromechanical models are nanoparticle arrangement in matrix and interphase effects. In order to study these cases, representative volume element (RVE)...

A new mathematical model of time fractional order heat equation and fractional order boundary condition have been constructed in the context of the generalized theory of thermo piezoelasticity. The governing equations have been applied to a semi infinite piezoelectric slab. The Laplace transform technique is used to remove the time-dependent terms in the governing differential equations and the...

With high-order methods becoming increasingly popular in both academia and industry, generating curvilinear meshes that align with the boundaries of complex geometries continues to present a significant challenge. Whereas traditional low-order methods use planar-faced elements, high-order methods introduce curvature into elements thatmay, if added naively, cause the element to self-intersect. O...
