This note deals with concrete applications of the general treatment of anisotropic thermo-elasticity developed in the first part [M. Reissig, J. Wirth, Anisotropic thermo-elasticity in 2D A unified treatment, Asympt. Anal. ?? (????) ??–??]. We give dispersive decay rates for solutions to the type-1 system of thermo-elasticity for certain types of anisotropic media. 1. Elastic operators and ther...

This paper concerns the one dimensional problem of the porous-thermo-elasticity. Two kinds of dissipation process are considered: the viscosity type in the porous structure and the thermal dissipation. It is known that when only thermal damping is considered or when only porous damping is considered we have the slow decay of the solutions. Here we prove that when both kinds of dissipation terms...

In this paper, the general case of an anisotropic thermo-electro elastic body subjected to static biasing fields is considered. The biasing fields may be introduced by heat flux, body forces, external surface tractions, and electric fields. By introducing proper thermodynamic functions and employing variational principle for a thermo-electro elastic body, the nonlinear constitutive relations an...

Mode selection of guided waves in an elastic steel plate with thick coating layer has been studied here. E€ect of both thick elastic coating and damping of the coating layer on the dispersion and mode shapes has been investigated and modes that are less a€ected by elastic coating and damping have been identi®ed. For modeling the viscoelastic behavior of the coating layer, the standard linear so...

in this paper, thermo-elastic analysis of a rotating thick truncated conical shell subjected to the temperature gradient, internal pressure and external pressure is presented. given the existence of shear stress in the conical shell due to thickness change along the axial direction, the governing equations are obtained based on first-order shear deformation theory (fsdt). these equations are so...

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the fracture resistance of denture base resins relined with either a conventional rigid resin or a new resilient resin. Materials and Methods: Two types of test plates were fabricated by relining the base resin (Acron) with a conventional rigid resin (Tokuso Rebase, TR) or a newly developed relining resin (Tokuyama Rebase II, RII). The specimens were divided...

The in-plane thermo-elastic behaviour of woven fabric reinforced composites is analysed using a combination of published micromechanics and finite element techniques. The repetitive unit of an arbitrary woven fabric composite is divided into elements of which the thermo-elastic properties are determined using micromechanics. The properties of the repetitive unit are obtained using the finite el...

The generalized dynamical theory of thermo-elasticity proposed by Green and Lindsay is applied to study the propagation of harmonically time-dependent thermo-viscoelastic plane waves of assigned frequency in an infinite visco-elastic solid of Kelvin-Voigt type, when the entire medium rotates with a uniform angular velocity. A more general dispersion equation is deduced to determine the effects ...

This paper deals with nonlinear vibration analysis using finite element method for frame structures consisting of elastic and viscoelastic damping layers supported by multiple nonlinear concentrated springs with hysteresis damping. The frame is supported by four nonlinear concentrated springs near the four corners. The restoring forces of the springs have cubic non-linearity and linear componen...

The suspended electrothermal polysilicon micro beams generate displacements and forces by thermal buckling effects. In the previous electro-thermal and thermo-elastic models of suspended polysilicon micro beams, the thermo-mechanical properties of polysilicon have been considered constant over a wide rang of temperature (20900°C). In reality, the thermo-mechanical properties of polysilicon depe...
