Abstract Adsorption phenomena are encountered in several engineering applications. One of its uses is the storage and transport gas form adsorption tanks. The exothermic nature process decreases capacity presenting an impetus to understand thermal characteristics process. Studies using mixtures phase change materials adsorbents tanks demonstrate potential improvements They also show that distri...

We analyze active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of functionally graded (FG) shells under a thermal environment using vertically and obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezocomposites (PZCs) and investigate the performance of PZCs as materials for the constraining layer of the ACLD treatment. The shell’s deformations are analyzed by using a modified first-order shear deformation theory and the finite e...
