We proposed a general formulation of the successive linearization method for solving highly nonlinear boundary value problem arising in rotating disk flow. The problem was studied under the effects of partial slip, thermal diffusion, and diffusion-thermo. The governing fundamental conservation equations of mass, momentum, angular momentum, energy, and concentration are transformed into a system...

The effects with a variable temperature and mass diffusion are obs...

this study presents a new approach to control the nonlinear dynamics of an adaptive absorber using shape memory alloy (sma) element. shape memory alloys are classified as smart materials that can remember their original shape after deformation. stress and temperature-induced phase transformations are two typical behaviors of shape memory alloys. changing the stiffness associated with phase tran...

In this paper, a finite element based simulation approach for predicting the effect of microstructure on the stresses resulting from electromigration-induced diffusion is described. The electromigration and stress-driven diffusion equation is solved coupled to the mechanical equilibrium and elastic constitutive equation, where a diffusional inelastic strain is introduced. Here, the focus is on ...

Mechanical properties of rocks with inclusions, which may correspond to porous rocks under limiting conditions, are influenced by their shape, distributions, and intrinsic properties. Many different averaging methods such as homogenization, micro-mechanics and microstructure methods are proposed to estimate average thermo-hydro-mechanical properties of rocks. In this paper, the authors evaluate...

Vibrational resonance amplifies a weak low-frequency signal by use of an additional non-resonant high-frequency modulation. The realization enhancement in integrated nonlinear optical nanocavities is great interest for nanophotonic applications where signals may be low power. Here, we report experimental observation vibrational thermo-optically bistable photonic crystal optomechanical resonator...

Design of deformation (thermo-mechanical) processes to achieve desired structural response will be addressed. Plastic deformation is assumed to be accommodated through crystallographic slip and reorientation of crystals. Conventional methodologies towards polycrystal plasticity use an aggregate of single crystals and this choice of the aggregate affects the response of the polycrystal. In order...

A computational thermo-mechanical model has been developed to simulate the continuous casting of shaped sections, such as used for thin steel slabs. A general form of the transient heat equation including latent-heat from phase transformations such as solidification and other temperature-dependent properties is solved numerically for the temperature field history. The resulting thermal stresses...

A model for island formation in submonolayer epitaxy has been studied in the presence of elastic strain by means of a Monte Carlo simulation. The description, based on rate equations, leads to scaling predictions for cluster statistics and diffusion rates. We generalize these predictions to include the effects of the repulsive elastic interaction. The elastic interaction is caused by the deform...

As part of an ongoing program to study the thermo-mechanical effects associated with cryopreservation via vitrification (vitreous in Latin means glassy), the current study focuses on the development of a new device for mechanical testing of blood vessels at cryogenic temperatures. This device is demonstrated on a bovine carotid artery model, permeated with the cryoprotectant cocktail VS55 and a...
