In this study, we first demonstrate that the J-integral in classical linear elasticity becomes path-dependent when the solid is subjected to combined electrical, chemical and mechanical loadings. We then construct an electro-chemo-mechanical J-integral that is path-independent under such combined multiple driving forces. Further, we show that this electro-chemo-mechanical J-integral represents ...

To determine the deformation of a body from the system of differential equations governing its thermo-mechanical deformations, we need side conditions such as boundary conditions. The most frequently employed boundary conditions are those of place and/or traction in a purely mechanical problem and of temperature and/or heat flux in a thermal problem. These and other more familiar mechanical bou...

This paper is devoted to the construction of a computational nonlinear thermomechanical model of large light partition walls made up of cardboard-plasterboard-cardboard (CPC) plates screwed to a metallic frame, and is submitted to mechanical and thermal loadings induced by fire. The computational model, based on experimental analyzes and a probabilistic modeling, is developed for the prediction...

This research develops thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded cylinder under thermo-mechanical loadings. Heat conduction equation in cylindrical coordinate system is solved. Thermal conductivity coefficient is graded along the radial direction. By considering a symmetric distribution of temperature, loading and boundary conditions, strain-displacement and stress-strain relations can b...

physicochemical and mechanical properties of wheat grains can have a great impact on the quality of the final products (bread). therefore, correct selection of wheat cultivar for specific applications seems to be crucial. in this study, the differences in the physicochemical and mechanical properties (under compression and impact loadings) of ten iranian wheat cultivars (azar2, alamut, bam, bah...

We have constructed and applied an algorithm to simulate the behavior of zeolite frameworks during liquid adsorption. We applied this approach to compute the adsorption isotherms of furfural-water and hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF)-water mixtures adsorbing in silicalite zeolite at 300 K for comparison with experimental data. We modeled these adsorption processes under two different statistical me...
