This paper deals with magneto-thermo-elastic interaction due to thermal shock on the stress free boundary of the half-space of perfect conducting medium in the context of two-temperature generalized thermo-elasticity with energy dissipation (TEWED) (GN III model), see [1, 2, 3]. The governing equations are solved in the Laplace transformation domain using state-space approach. The inversion of ...

A computer-automated shape optimization methodology has been developed for the purpose of providing internal cooling systems designers the ability to optimize the internal cooling configuration, geometry and heat transfer enhancements for greater cooling efficiency and more durable turbine airfoils. The methodology presents the theory and practical programming requirements for coupling existing...

introduction: the resistance to fracture of endodontically treated teeth restored with esthetic post systems has not been extensively researched. this in vitro study compared the fracture patterns of endodontically treated teeth with esthetic post systems with different analysis methods. materials and methods: a total of 26 recently extracted human maxillary central incisors were decoronated an...

Low-temperature thermal cycling of plasma-sprayed zirconia coatings via curvature measurements revealed their in-plane non-linear behavior. This feature arises from the unique layered, porous and cracked morphology of thermal-sprayed ceramic materials. The nonlinear aspect can be quantified by a novel data interpretation procedure consisting of modified beam bending analysis and inverse analysi...

In this paper, an opto-thermal analysis of a moderately heated lightweighted solar telescope mirror is carried out using 3D finite element analysis (FEA). A physically realistic heat transfer model is developed to account for the radiative heating and energy exchange of the mirror with surroundings. The numerical simulations show the non-uniform temperature distribution and associated thermo-el...

Molecular dynamics and molecular mechanics simulations have been used to study thermo-mechanical response of highly cross-linked polymers composed of epoxy resin DGEBA and hardener DETDA. The effective cross-linking approach used in this work allowed construction of a set of stress-free molecular models with high conversion degree containing up to 35000 atoms. The generated structures were used...
