In the present article, a comprehensive review of relevant literature is presented to highlight the role of fractional calculus in the field of thermoelasticity. This review is devoted to the generalizations of the classical heat conduction equation and formulation of associated theories of fractional thermoelasticity. The recently developed fractional order thermoelastic models are described w...

It is noted that the results of recent experiments on the enhancement of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation below surface waves can be stated as follows. TKE dissipation is enhanced by a factor 15Hws/z at depths 0.5Hws < z < 20Hws with respect to the wall-layer result ǫ = u ∗w/κz, where u∗w is the friction velocity in water and Hws is the significant windsea wave height. For open ocean ...

The increasingly demanding performance requirements trigger the development of new devices to eliminate the limitations concerning the post-earthquake performance of available seismic protection systems. The prerequisite for economical earthquakeresistant bridges is the structures’ capacity to absorb and dissipate a large amount of seismic energy. A widely considered strategy for enhancing this...

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.
