The elastic properties of dentin, a biological composite consisting of stiff hydroxyapatite (HAP) nano-platelets within a compliant collagen matrix, are determined by the volume fraction of these two phases and the load transfer between them. We have measured the elastic strains in situ within the HAP phase of bovine dentine by high energy X-ray diffraction for a series of static compressive st...

In this paper, the vibrational and buckling analysis of a cylindrical sandwich panel with an elastic core under thermo-mechanical loadings is investigated. The modeled cylindrical sandwich panel as well as its equations of motions and boundary conditions is derived by Hamilton’s principle and the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). For the first time in the present study, various bound...

A new monolithic solution scheme for thermo-elasto-plasticity and thermo-elasto-plastic frictional contact with finite deformations and finite strains is presented. A key feature is the reformulation of all involved inequality constraints, namely those of Hill’s orthotropic yield criterion as well as the normal and tangential contact constraints, in terms of non-smooth nonlinear complementarity...

In this paper we have studied the effect of magneto-static field onpropagation of thermal wave generated in metal by pulsed laser. In fact this interactiongenerate acoustic wave in different mechanisms. However, always the commonmechanism in the interactions of laser pulse and metal is the thermo-elastic wavegeneration. Applying the suitable magneto-static field on the s...

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...

In some circumstances, elastic-plastic deformation occurs in which both components of strain are finite. Such situations fall outside the scope of classical plasticity theory which assumes either infinitesimal strains or plastic-rigid theory for large strains. The present theory modifies the kinematics to include finite elastic and plastic strain components. For situations requiring this genera...
