The main magnetic characteristics regarding the domain structure and magnetization processes (axial, circular and Matteucci and inverse Wiedemann effects) of amorphous wires and glass-coated microwires are analysed. Magnetic bistability, spontaneously observed in samples with large enough ratio magneto-elastic anisotropy with axial easy axis to shape anisotropy, is the main source for a number ...

In the present work, thermo-electro vibration of the piezoelectric nanoplates resting on the elastic foundations using nonlocal elasticity theory are considered. In-plane and transverse displacements of the nanoplate have been approximated by six different modified shear deformation plate theories considering transverse shear deformation effects and rotary inertia. Moreover, two new distributio...

UNLABELLED A widely used artificial aging methodology is thermo-cycling. The ISO TR 11450 standard (1994) recommends 500 cycles in water between 5 and 55 degrees C. Recent literature revealed that more cycles are needed to mimic long-term bonding effectiveness. Furthermore, the artificial aging effect induced by thermo-cycling is not clearly established. Two underlying mechanisms can be advance...

The signature of correlated electron materials (CEMs) is the coupling between spin, charge, orbital and lattice resulting in exotic functionality. This complexity is directly responsible for their tunability. We demonstrate here that the broken symmetry, through cubic to orthorhombic distortion in the lattice structure in a prototype manganite single crystal, La(0.69)Ca(0.31)MnO(3), leads to an...

Continued emphasis on development of thermal cooling systems is being placed that can cycle low grade heat. Examples include solar powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and data storage servers. The power efficiency of solar module degrades at elevated temperature, thereby, necessitating the need for heat extraction system. Similarly, data centres in wireless computing system are facing incre...

Thickness stretching effect based on shear and normal deformation theory is used in this paper for magneto-electro-elastic vibration analysis of a three-layered curved nanobeam including a nano core and two piezo-magnetic layers. Size-dependency is included in derivation of governing equations of motion based Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The initial curvature is accounted in calculatio...

Ribbed reinforcing steel bars (rebars) are used for the reinforcement of concrete structures. In service, they subjected to cyclic loading. Several studies addressing relationship between rib geometry, stresses at rebar surface induced by service loads and fatigue performance can be found in literature. However, rebar’s is also influenced residual originating from manufacturing process. this co...
