In this paper we will review and extend the results of [21], which covered the case of 3D thermo-piezoelectric polycrystals. In that context the settings of conductivity, elasticity, pyroelectricity, piezoelectricity, thermo-electricity and thermo-elasticity can be viewed as particular cases. We will consider a class of composites more general than polycrystals, where the set of allowable mater...

A general theory of thermally stable anisotropic laminates with bending-extension coupling is presented in the framework of linear thermo-elasticity. It is based upon the use of tensor invariants, found by the polar formalism for bi-dimensional anisotropic elasticity. The extension of the results to moisture absorption effects is also proved.

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...

A new calculus of nuclear liquid-gas phase transition in the standard thermostatistics is applied to the generalized thermo-statistics. Because the phase equilibrium is de…ned in terms of intensive temperature and conjugate extensive entropy, we have to solve higher-order simultaneous nonlinear equations than those in the standard thermo-statistics. The features of phase transition are essentia...

The analytical solution of functionally graded piezoelectric hollow cylinder which is under radial electric potential and non-axisymmetric thermo-mechanical loads, are presented in this paper. Using complex Fourier series and estimation of power law for variations of material characterizations through the thickness, the electro thermo mechanical behavior of the FGPM cylinder is obtained. The st...
