In this paper, the classic Kelvin-Voigt model coupled thermo-viscoelasticity model of hollow and solid spheres under radial symmetric loading condition is considered. A full analytical method is used and an exact unique solution of the classic coupled equations is presented. The thermal and mechanical boundary conditions, the body force, and the heat source are considered in the most general fo...

In this paper, the generalized coupled thermoporoelasticity model of hollow and solid spheres under radial symmetric loading condition (r, t) is considered. A full analytical method is used and an exact unique solution of the generalized coupled equations is presented. The thermal, mechanical and pressure boundary conditions, the body force, the heat source and the injected volume rate per unit...

The lifetime of micro electro–thermo–mechanical actuators with complex electro–thermo–mechanical coupling mechanisms can be decreased significantly due to unexpected failure events. Even more serious is the fact that various failures are tightly coupled due to micro-size and multi-physics effects. Interrelation between performance and potential failures should be established to predict reliabil...

In this paper we introduce Hamel’s formalism for infinite-dimensional mechanical systems and in particular consider its applications to the dynamics of nonholonomically constrained systems. This development is a nontrivial extension of its finite-dimensional counterpart. The analysis is applied to several continuum-mechanical systems of interest, including coupled systems and systems with infin...

In this article, the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) nanocomposites Timoshenko beam model reinforced by single-walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) using micro-mechanical approach embedded in an elastic medium is studied. The modified coupled stress (MCST) and nonlocal elasticity theories are developed to take into account the size-dependent effect. The mechani...

Thermoacoustics describes energy conversion processes, activated by interaction temperature oscillation, accompanying the pressure oscillation in a sound wave, with solid boundaries. In ordinary experience this interaction of sound and heat cannot be observed, because of the very low temperature differences, but under suitable conditions, it can be emphasized and amplified to create remarkable ...
