We investigate three classes of constraints in a thermoelastic body: (i) a deformationtemperature constraint, (ii) a deformation-entropy constraint, and (iii) a deformationenergy constraint. These constraints are obtained as limits of unconstrained thermoelastic materials and we show that constraints (ii) and (iii) are equivalent. By using a limiting procedure, we show that for the constraint (...

Internal stress associated with an oriented microstructure of defects are taken into ac count in the thermoelastic balance of martensitic phase transition. From this analysis a macros copic flow rule is determined for the TWME by using a phenomenological approach based on a yield criterion derived from Gibb's free energy expression.

Keywords: Incompressible Initial stress Anisotropic S-wave Gravity field a b s t r a c t In this paper, propagation of shear waves in a non-homogeneous anisotropic incompress-ible, gravity field and initially stressed medium is studied. Analytical analysis reveals that the velocity of propagation of the shear waves depends upon the direction of propagation, the anisotropy, gravity field, non-ho...

The high residual stress in a resin-molded electronic package sometimes makes the electronic functions unstable. Therefore the residual stress in electronic packages, especially on the top surfaces of semiconductor chips, should be evaluated. The objective of this study is to present a simple method for evaluating residual stress in resin-molded semiconductor chips using a combination of experi...

This investigation deals with the effect of variable thermal conductivity in a micropolar thermoelastic medium without energy dissipation cubic symmetry. The normal mode technique is employed for obtaining components physical quantities such as displacement, stress, temperature distribution and microrotation.

In the present paper, nonlinear radial and hoop thermoelastic stresses analysis of a disk made of FGMs material is investigated. According to this purpose, finite element method is used. In the present method, second-order one-dimensional element (with three node points) is proposed. The geometrical and stress boundary conditions are defined in the state of non-existence of external pressure an...

Large amounts of hydrocarbon reserves are trapped in naturally fractured reservoirs which arechallenging in terms of accurate recovery prediction because of their joint fabric complexity andlithological heterogeneity. Canada, for example, has over 400 billion barrels of crude oil in fracturedcarbonates in Alberta, most of this being bitumen of viscosity greater than 106 cP in the GrosmontFormat...

The present investigation deals with deformation in microstretch generalized thermoelastic medium subjected to thermomechanical loading induced by thermal laser pulse. The Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are used to solve the problem, and concentrated normal force and thermal source describe the application of this approach. The closed form expressions of normal stress, tangential stre...

The article is concerned with a new nonlocal model based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and generalized thermoelasticity. A study is made of the magneto-thermoelastic waves in an isotropic conducting thermoelastic finite rod subjected to moving heat sources permeated by a primary uniform magnetic field and rotating with a uniform angular velocity. The Laplace transform technique with respect ...
