This research develops thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded cylinder under thermo-mechanical loadings. Heat conduction equation in cylindrical coordinate system is solved. Thermal conductivity coefficient is graded along the radial direction. By considering a symmetric distribution of temperature, loading and boundary conditions, strain-displacement and stress-strain relations can b...

In this paper, we extend the tangential-displacement normal–normal-stress continuous (TDNNS) method from Pechstein and Schöberl (2011) to nonlinear elasticity. By means of Hu–Washizu principle, distributional derivatives displacement vector are lifted a regular strain tensor. We introduce three different methods, where either deformation gradient, Cauchy–Green tensor, or both them used as indep...

today, the use of coatings is common to maintain the quality of fruits in storage period. previous studies have shown that the calcium compounds can improve and preserve the strength of fruit’s cell wall. in this research, the effect of calcium chloride dehydrate (cacl2*2h2o) concentration on two varieties of apple (golden delicious and red delicious), was studied. the apples were immersed in t...

INTRODUCTION Pancreatic solid tumour diagnoses remain a challenge for modern medicine. However, using endosonography together with elastography helps to examine the elasticity of tissues and therefore may allow definition of the nature of pancreatic tumours. AIM To evaluate the usefulness of elastography with the strain ratio method and quantitative evaluation of pancreatic solid tumours. M...

The electronic structure of interfaces between lattice-mismatched semiconductor is sensitive to the strain. We compare two approaches for calculating such inhomogeneous strain – continuum elasticity (CE, treated as a finite difference problem) and atomistic elasticity (AE). While for small strain the two methods must agree, for the large strains that exist between latticemismatched III-V semico...
