The knowledge of the thermal conductivities is particular interest for thermo-mechanical modeling transversely isotropic composite materials. Hence, identification these material parameters by solving an inverse problem significant, as they cannot be directly measured. In this study, a suitable experimental setup presented, where infrared thermography used to measure surface temperatures thin s...

In the pressure vessel and piping and power industries, creep deformation has continued to be an important design consideration. Directionally solidified components have become commonplace. Creep deformation and damage is a common source of component failure. A considerable effort has gone into the study and development of constitutive models to account for such behavior. Creep deformation can ...

Chondrocytes are the living cells in articular cartilage (AC). They synthesize and maintain the extracellular matrix. Their activity is regulated by the interplay of genetic and environmental factors, such as soluble mediators, extracellular matrix composition, and mechanical factors. The mechanical environment of the chondrocytes has a significant influence on the health of the joint. In past ...

We construct the analytic solution of a three-dimensional problem thermoelasticity for transversely isotropic space with internal stationary heat sources. By method direct integration, is reduced to system governing equations components stress tensor, which solved by using double integral Fourier transform.
