The present study is concerned with the propagation of Lamb waves in a homogeneous isotropic thermoelastic micropolar solid with two temperatures bordered with layers or half spaces of inviscid liquid subjected to stress free boundary conditions. The generalized theory of thermoelasticity developed by Lord and Shulman has been used to investigate the problem. The secular equations for symmetric...

This article introduces a new model that can be used to describe elastic thermal vibrations caused by changes in temperature nanobeams response transverse external excitations. Using the idea of nonlocal elasticity and dual-phase lagging thermoelastic (DPL), coupled equations motion heat transfer were derived explain small-scale effects. Additionally, modified couple stress theory (MCST) Euler–...

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is widely used for structural members of transportation vehicles such as automobile, aircraft, or spacecraft, utilizing its excellent specific strength and specific rigidity in contrast with the metal. Short carbon fiber composite materials are receiving a lot of attentions because of their excellent moldability and productivity, however they show complica...

We analyze axisymmetric deformations of a rotating disk with its thickness, mass density, thermal expansion coefficient and shear modulus varying in the radial direction. The disk is made of a rubberlike material that is modeled as isotropic, linear thermoelastic and incompressible. We note that the hydrostatic pressure in the constitutive relation of the material is to be determined as a part ...

The material assumptions made to facilitate Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) are linear elasticity, material homogeneity and isotropy, and mechanical properties that are independent of temperature. The unusual shape memory and superelastic properties of near equiatomic NiTi alloys complicate the application of any experimental stress analysis technique, and in the case of TSA, make these ass...

An experimental study of the stress distribution around holes in orthotropic composite laminates has been conducted using thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA). Quantitative thermoelastic studies of stress concentrations in metallic plates is a straightforward matter, all that is required is the ratio of the response from the hole and a far-field reading. For orthotropic materials the situation i...

Analytical analysis reveals that the velocity of propagation of the shear waves depends upon the direction of propagation, the anisotropy, gravity field, non-ho...

SUMMARY The paper presents a new methodology for identifying sub-surface damage in composite components using a combination of Pulse Phase Thermography (PPT) and Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA).

The present article deals with the study of propagation of plane waves in isotropic generalized thermoelastic diffusion with voids under initial stress. It is found that, for two dimensional model of isotropic generalized thermoelastic diffusion with voids under initial stress, there exists four coupled waves namely, P wave, Mass Diffusion (MD) wave, thermal (T) wave and Volume Fraction (VF) wa...
