In this Part I, of a two-part paper, we present a detailed continuum-mechanical development of a thermomechanically coupled elasto-viscoplasticity theory to model the strain rate and temperature dependent largedeformation response of amorphous polymeric materials. Such a theory, when further specialized (Part II) should be useful for modeling and simulation of the thermo-mechanical response of ...

Pure iron has been demonstrated as a potential candidate for biodegradable metal stents due to its appropriate biocompatibility, suitable mechanical properties and uniform biodegradation behavior. The competing parameters that control the safety and the performance of BMS include proper strength-ductility combination, biocompatibility along with matching rate of corrosion with healing rate of a...

In this paper, a new mathematical model of a Kelvin-Voigt type thermo-visco-elastic, infinite thermally conducting medium has been considered in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction having a non-local fractional order due to the presence of periodically varying heat sources. Three-phase-lag thermoelastic model, Green Naghdi models II and III (i.e., the models which predicts the...

This work is a contrastive investigation of numerical simulations to improve the comprehension of thermo-structural coupled phenomena of mass concrete structures during construction. The finite element (FE) analysis of thermo-structural behaviors is used to investigate the applicability of supersulfated cement (SSC) in mass concrete structures. A multi-scale framework based on a homogenization ...

this study presents a new approach to control the nonlinear dynamics of an adaptive absorber using shape memory alloy (sma) element. shape memory alloys are classified as smart materials that can remember their original shape after deformation. stress and temperature-induced phase transformations are two typical behaviors of shape memory alloys. changing the stiffness associated with phase tran...

Using principle of minimum total potential energy approach in conjunction with Rayleigh-Ritz method, the electro-thermo-mechanical axial buckling behavior of piezoelectric polymeric cylindrical shell reinforced with double-walled boron-nitride nanotube (DWBNNT) is investigated. Coupling between electrical and mechanical fields are considered according to a representative volume element (RVE)-ba...

In this paper, the classic coupled Magneto-thermo-elasticity model of hollow and solid cylinders under radial-symmetric loading condition (r, t) is considered. A full analytical and the direct method based on Fourier Hankel series and Laplace transform is used, and an exact unique solution of the classic coupled equations is presented. The thermal and mechanical boundary conditions, the body fo...

Thermal treatments and thermo-mechanical processing routes were applied on a conventional structural steel (st37 steel: 0.12C-1.11Mn-0.16Si) for improvement of tensile properties and enhancement of work-hardening behavior. Full annealing resulted in a sheet with coarse ferrite grains and pearlite colonies arranged alternatively in distinct bands, which showed high ductility, low strength, and t...

An updated Lagrangian implicit FEM model for the analysis of large thermo-mechanically coupled hyperelasticviscoplastic deformations of isotropic porous materials is considered. An appropriate framework for constitutive modelling is introduced that includes a stress-free thermally expanded con9guration and a plastically deformed unstressed damaged con9guration. A two-level iterative scheme is e...

An artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed for the analysis, simulation, and prediction of the austenite reversion in the thermo-mechanical treatment of 304L austenitic stainless steel. The results of the ANN model are in good agreement with the experimental data. The model is used to predict an appropriate annealing condition for austenite reversion through the martensite to austeni...
