highly self-ordered alumina nanopore arrays were fabricated using hard anodization technique in different mixtures of oxalic/phosphoric acid. the phosphoric acid concentration was varied from 0.05 to 0.3 m while the oxalic acid concentration was changed between 0.3 and 0.4 m. the self ordered nanoporous arrays were obtained in anodization voltage changing from 130 to 200 v. the interpore distan...

In this paper, the acoustical treatment of double-panel structures lined with poroelatic materials is predicted using analytical method in order to study the effective usage of the various boundary conditions of porous layer and to identify the effective parameters on the transmission loss of the multilayer systems. Therefore, inertia and viscous coupling along with thermal and elastic coupling...

Fractal geometry (fractional Brownian motion—FBM) is introduced to characterize the pore distribution of porous material. Based on this fractal characterization, a mathematical model of heat conduction is presented to study heat conduction behaviors in porous material with a focus on effective thermal conductivity. The role of pore structure on temperature distribution and heat flux is examined...

in this paper, the effect of the brownian term in natural convection of cuo-water nanofluid inside a partially filled porous cavity, with internal heat generation has been studied. it is assumed that the viscosity and thermal conductivity of nanofluid consists of a static part and a brownian part of which is a function of temperature and the volume fraction of nanofluid. because of internal hea...

In this paper, nonlinear vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) beam with porosities material is investigated based on the Timoshenko beam theory. Material properties of FG porous beam are described according to the rule of mixture which modified to approximate material properties with porosity phases. The Ritz method is used to obtain the governing equation which is then...

An approach of Green’s function is adopted to solve the inhomogeneous linear differential equations representing wave equations in piezo-composite materials. In particular, transference of horizontally polarised shear (SH) waves is considered in bedded structure comprising of porous-piezo electric layer lying over a heterogeneous half-space. Propagation of SH-waves is considered to be influence...

according to the former researcher’s presented relations for flow through rock-fill porous media, the effects of physical characteristics was not studied separately. hence, due to the application of these relations, physical characteristics of porous materials effect must be investigated separately. in various constructed physical models of porous media, the effect of several variables such as ...

The basic governing equations in anisotropic elastic material under the effect of porous piezothermoelastic are presented. Biot [1], Lord & Shulman [4] and Sherief et al. [5] theories are used to develop the basic equations for porous piezothermoelastic with mass diffusion material. The variational principle, uniqueness theorem and theorem of reciprocity in this model are established under the ...

abstract porous materials are commonly found in nature and as industrial materials such as wood, carbon, foams, ceramics and bricks. in order to use them effectively, their mechanical properties must be understood in relation to their micro-structures. foam made from non-flammable metal will remain non-flammable and the foam is generally recyclable back to its base material. this research work ...
