Results of electro-thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded thick-walled spherical shell made of temperature dependent materials are presented in this article. All material properties are assumed temperature-dependent and also are graded along the thickness direction based on power function. Temperature dependency is accounted for all material properties including, thermal, mechanical a...

General thermo-mechanical behavior of composites reinforced by shape memory alloy fibers is predicted using a three-dimensional analytical micromechanical method to consider the effect of fibers activation. Composite due to the micromechanical method can be exposed to general normal and shear mechanical and thermal loading which cause to activate the shape memory alloy fibers within polymeric m...

Abstract Ambient cured epoxy adhesive is widely used for bonding fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) plates to metallic structures. The present paper examines a typical strengthening investigate the effect of thermo-viscoelasticity. response was determined using series tests multi-frequency scanning mode dynamic mechanical analyser (DMA). thermo-mechanical properties were then characterised time–tem...

Adhesive-free fiberboards can be self-bonded through high temperature thermo-compression processes. To achieve it, treatments such as steam explosion/injection, as well as chemical and enzymatic oxidation have been implemented. However, the role of extractive components in the structure and cohesiveness of fiberboards has not been fully understood. In this work fibers of leaf plantain were trea...

present paper is devoted to stress and deformation analyses of heated variable thickness functionally graded (fg) circular plate with clamped supported, embedded on a gradient elastic foundation and subjected to non-uniform transverse load. the plate is coupled by an elastic medium which is simulated as a winkler- pasternak foundation with gradient coefficients in the radial and circumferential...

Thermo-Responsive Actuators In article 2211189, Jun Fu and co-workers study carbon fiber composited hydrogels that show extremely high anisotropy in mechanical properties, conductivity, sensitivity. Twisted fibers inside the motivate thermo-responsive actuation, which can be self-monitored. The anisotropic also demonstrate applications for “AND” or “OR” logic gates.

Abstract Titanium alloys are ideally suited for use in implant or osteosynthesis applications due to their good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. In terms of higher strength applications, Ti–6Al–4V Ti–6Al–7Nb frequently used. However, both contain the alloying elements aluminum and, former case, vanadium, which could have toxic effects on human body. Therefore, ...
