Rubber-like materials can undergo very large strains in a quasi-reversible way. This remarkable behavior is often called hyper (or entropic) elasticity. However, the presence of mechanical loops during a load-unload cycle is not consistent with a purely elastic behavior modeling. Using Digital Image Correlation and Infra-Red Thermography, the present study aims at observing and quantifying diss...

We study the behavior in time of solutions to several systems equations for porous-thermo-elastic problems when one variables is considered be quasi-static or, other words, whose second derivative can neglected. analyze three different situations using classical Fourier law and also type II or III Green–Naghdi heat conduction models.

This paper presents the results of thermo-mechanical characterization of Glass/Epoxy composite specimens using Infrared Thermography technique. The specimens used for the study were fabricated in-house with three different lay-up sequences and tested on a servo hydraulic machine under uni-axial loading. Infrared Camera was used for on-line monitoring surface temperature changes of composite spe...

Model of Non-homogeneous Problem (3.2) This is given explicitly in [E-L-T.2]. 4. CONSEQUENCE OF THE STRUCTURAL DECOMPOSITION: A STRATEGY FOR THE CONTROLLABILITY PROBLEM 4.0. Preliminaries [L-T.7 Sect. 6] presents a strategy, essentially already used in [LT.3, pp. 119–120], to obtain an exact controllability (surjectivity) result. In the present case of thermo-elastic plates, its applicability i...
