We study the deformation and stability of gold–polysilicon MEMS plate microstructures fabricated by the MUMPS surface micromachining process and subjected to uniform temperature changes. We measured, using an interferometric microscope, full-field deformed shapes of a series of square and circular gold (0.5 m thick)/polysilicon (1.5 m thick) plate microstructures with characteristic lengths (sq...

The present investigation deals with the deformation in micropolar generalized thermoelastic medium with mass diffusion subjected to thermo mechanical loading due to thermal laser pulse. Laplace and Fourier transform technique is used to solve the problem. Concentrated normal force and thermal source are taken to illustrate the utility of approach. The closed form expressions of normal stress, ...

A method for computer simulation of time-resolved x-ray diffraction (TRXD) in asymmetric Laue (transmission) geometry with an arbitrary propagating strain perpendicular to the crystal surface is presented. We present two case studies for possible strain generation by short-pulse laser irradiation: (i) a thermoelastic-like analytical model; (ii) a numerical model including the effects of electro...

Abstract—In this study, the thermoelastic instability (TEI) was analyzed using the finite element analysis technique. The governing dynamic and heat equations were described. Three dimensional thermomechanical analysis model of the disc brake system were created. An intermediate processor based on the staggered approached was used to exchange result data: temperature, friction contact power, no...

stretching process of sheet metals in both cases of axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric is analyzed. a rigid-plastic, normal anisotrop material is assumed and large strain formulation is applied. triangular elements are used and stiffness equations of elements are obtained from virtual work principle. these nonlinear equations are linearized by newton-raphsons method and are solved by gaussian el...

Flame bending process is one of the forming processes of steel plates. During this process, plate is formed with heating by gas torch flame followed by controlled cooling along specified paths. Considering simple tools used in the process, it is a popular and economical forming method. At present, this process is manually done on the basis of skilled technician’s &#10experience. Experimental an...

The rapid deformation of liquid and solid materials usually results in temperature changes. This rapid deformation is considered to be a nearly adiabatic process where the heat generated during the deformation changes the temperature of the material. Early experiments showed that metals cooled down on sudden stretching and warmed up upon compression [1]. In 1805, Gough [2] observed that the tem...
