In this paper, we define a mathematically consistent set of thermo-acoustic equations via asymptotic multiple scale methods in the low-Mach number limit. The final thermoacoustic equations consist of reacting low-Mach number (LMN) equations for hydrodynamic phenomena and acoustic (AC) equations. The two sets of equations are two-way coupled. The coupling terms depend on which multiple scales ar...

This paper investigates damping ratio in micro-beam resonators based on magneto-thermo-elasticity. A unique aspect of the present study is the effect of permanent magnetic field on the stiffness and thermo-elastic damping of the micro resonators. In our modeling the theory of thermo-elasticity with interacting of an externally applied permanent magnetic field is taken into account. Combined the...

This paper presents an analytical solution for response of a piezoelectric hollow cylinder under two-dimensional electro thermo mechanical fields. The solution is based on a direct method and the Navier equations were solved using the complex Fourier series. The advantage of this method is its generality and from mathematical point of view, any type of the thermo mechanical and electrical bound...

in this paper, a thermoelasticity solution for steady state response of thick cylinders which are subjected to pressure and external heat flux in inner surface is presented. displacement field obeys the kinematics of the first order shear deformation theory (fsdt). it is assumed that the temperature varies both along the length and the thickness. the variation of the temperature occurs linearly...

in this paper, an ultra low carbon high strength low alloy grade steel was subjected to a two-step forging processand this was followed by different post cooling methods. the highest strength was obtained at a faster coolingrate due to the highly dislocated acicular ferrite structure with the fine precipitation of microalloying carbides andcarbonitrides. at a slow cooling rate, the strength fel...

Heavy exercise has been shown to elicit reductions in inspiratory muscle strength in healthy subjects. Our purpose was to determine the combined effects of moderate-intensity endurance exercise and a thermal load on inspiratory muscle strength in active subjects. Eight active, non heat-acclimatized female subjects (23.5 ± 1.4 yr; VO2max = 39.8 ± 2.4 ml.kg(-1).min(-1)) randomly performed two 40 ...

High strength hydraulic concrete was introduced based on its thermo-dynamic and strain-stress characteristics. The compound exponential thermo-dynamic creep model was established. The temperature rise models were interpreted. The bisection constitutional model was deduced as the approach to express the strain-stress non-linearity of high strength hydraulic concrete. The key parameters on thermo...

Employing the Ginzburg-Landau phase-field theory, a new coupled dynamic thermo-mechanical 3D model has been proposed for modeling the cubic-to-tetragonal martensitic transformations in shape memory alloy (SMA) nanostructures. The stress-induced phase transformations and thermo-mechanical behavior of nanostructured SMAs have been investigated. The mechanical and thermal hysteresis phenomena, loc...

Waste heat recovery with thermo-electrochemical cells is limited by their low power and conversion efficiencies. Here we explore ionic liquid electrolytes mixed with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as alternative electrolytes for thermo-electrochemical cells. The results show that, upon addition of MWCNTs, the combination of interfacial polarization and ion pair dissociation reduces mass tr...
