By laminating piezoelectric and flexible materials, we can increase their performance. Therefore, the electrical mechanical properties of layered materials subjected to electromechanical loads heat sources must be analyzed theoretically mechanically. Since problem infinite wave propagation cannot addressed using classical thermoelasticity, extended thermoelasticity models have been derived. The...

Structural frustration in a rod packing exhibits analogy to frustration effects in antiferromagnetic systems. Like the spins in a triangular Ising net, rods with periodic contour may arrange randomly. Such frustration effects are observed in rare earth metal carbide nitride halides composed of C2 centered RE6 octahedra and N centered RE4 tetrahedra. These can be connected in varying sequences t...

Background. The double haul is a unique feature of single-handed fly casting and is used in both fly fishing and fly casting competition. The movement behaviour during the double haul has not been investigated in previous research. Objectives. Describe the coordination of the rod and line hauling movements during distance fly casting. Methods. Elite fly casters performed distance castin...

Harmonic wave excitation in a semi-infinite incompressible hyperelastic 1D rod with the Mooney–Rivlin equation of state reveals formation and propagation shock fronts arising between faster slower moving parts initially harmonic wave. The observed result collapse being absorbed by parts; hence, to attenuation kinetic elastic strain energy corresponding heat generation. Both geometrically physic...

The problem of scattering of an obliquely incident plane acoustic wave from an infinite solid elastic clad rod is formulated. Numerical calculations show the effects of the variations of the cladding thickness on both the backscattered pressure spectrum and individual normal modes. It is shown that various resonance frequencies have different levels of sensitivity to variations of the cladding ...
