Equations governing thermoelastic loss in vibrating thin plates are derived, generalizing Zener’s theory of thermoelastic loss in beams. The mechanism for the loss of mechanical energy is thermal diffusion caused by inhomogeneous deformation, flexure in thin plates. It is shown that a critical plate thickness, h∗, exists which separates two distinct types of response, which may be called therma...

Developments in the last century have led to a better understanding of diffusion, the perpetual mixing of molecules caused by thermal motion. In this chapter, the basic principles governing the diffusion phenomenon and its measurement using magnetic resonance (MR) are reviewed. The concepts of the apparent diffusion coefficient and of the diffusion propagator as well as their MR measurements ar...

in this work, the thermal reaction of aluminum (al) and nickel oxide (nio) was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. some effective features of reaction such as reaction temperature, the reaction mechanism, and diffusion rate of oxygen into aluminum structure were studied. reaxff force field was performed to study the al/nio thermite reaction behavior at five different temperatures (5...

In this paper we propose a file replication scheme inspired by a thermal diffusion phenomenon for storage load balancing in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks. The proposed scheme is designed such that the storage utilization ratios of peers will be uniform, in the same way that the temperature in a field becomes uniform in a thermal diffusion phenomenon. The proposed scheme ...

Article history: Received 23 November 2016 Received in revised form 3 March 2017 Accepted 12 April 2017 Available online 19 April 2017 The normalization approach has been accepted as a routine to overcome the concentration discontinuity at multi-material interfaces in the moisture diffusion simulation by the finite element method. However, applying the normalization approach directly in the com...

The fast contraction, or pinching, of optical vortices in both thermal and Kerr self-defocusing media is investigated by numerical techniques. For the thermal case, heat diffusion across the vortex core is described, and the heretofore unexplained stability of optical-vortex solitons in thermal media is explained. © 2001 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 190.4420, 190.5940, 190.3270, 160.4...

diffusion weighted imaging uses the signal loss associated with the random thermal motion of water molecules in the presence of magnetic field gradients to derive a number of parameters that reflect the translational mobility of the water molecules in tissues. with a suitable experimental set-up, it is possible to calculate all the elements of the local diffusion tensor (dt) and derived paramet...

This paper studies how boron transient enhanced diffusion (TED) and boron thermal diffusion in Si1 Ge are influenced by a high-energy fluorine implant at a dose in the range 5 10 14 cm 2 to 1 10 cm . Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) profiles of boron marker layers are presented for different fluorine doses and compared with fluorine SIMS profiles and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)...
