This technical note presents a coupled thermo-hydromechanical model for unsaturated soil, which can be applied in the context of high temperature. A new pore gas or bulk air transfer equation is introduced. Additionally the effect of temperature on the latent heat of vapourisation and specific heat capacities is incorporated. Adsorbed water is also included. The performance of the model is demo...

In this study, electro-thermo-mechanical nonlinear vibration and instability of embedded piezoelectric micro-tube is carried out based on nonlocal theory and nonlinear Donnell's shell model. The smart micro-tube made of Poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is conveying an isentropic, incompressible fluid. The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the remarkable effects of mean flow vel...

We develop a simple model for coupling the pseudo-Goldstone bosons of QCD Or's, K's, -q) to quark fields. This nonlocal model incorporates a momentum dependent dynamical quark mass ,~ (p) in a manner consistent with global chiral symmetry. Explicit current quark masses and gauge fields are also introduced. All low energy parameters of the chiral lagrangian are expressed in terms of ~(p). In par...

We analyze a coupled system of evolution equations that describes the effect of thermal gradients on the motion and deposition of N populations of colloidal species diffusing and interacting together through Smoluchowski production terms. This class of systems is particularly useful in studying drug delivery, contaminant transport in complex media, as well as heat shocks thorough permeable medi...

mechanical stress and maximum superconducting current have been calculated for a superconductor subjected to uniform plastic deformation. The training effect due to strain hardening o f the material is discussed. These results are compared with an analogous case when the normal transition is caused by the thermo-magnetomechanical instability. The quenching current is shown to depend on the hist...

Abstract In this work, the state -space nonlocal strain gradient theory is used for vibration analysis of magneto thermo piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) nanobeam. An FGM constituent properties stated by using power law relations. The refined higher order beam and Hamilton’s principle have been to obtain motion equations. Besides, governing equations nanobeam are extracted devel...

In this article thermoelastic damping in nano-beam resonators is investigated based on nonlocal theory of elasticity and the Euler-Bernoulli beam assumptions. The governing equation of deflection of the beam is obtained from shear and moment resultants and stress–strain relationship of the nonlocal elasticity model and also the governing equations of thermoelastic damping are established by usi...

The term “optical thermoelasticity” is used to describe how the optical properties of a material change when it heated or deformed mechanically. issues effective elastic and heat transfer symmetry are given particular focus. This study gives new nonlocal theoretical formulation for thermo-optical that can be thermomechanical waves plasma relate semiconductor materials such as silicon germanium....
