Free vibration of sandwich plates with temperature dependent functionally graded (FG) face sheets in various thermal environments is investigated. The material properties of FG face sheets are assumed to be temperature-dependent and vary continuously through the thickness according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Also, the material properties ...

In this paper the optimal control of boundary heat flux in a 2-D solid body with an arbitrary shape is performed in order to achieve the desired temperature distribution at a given time interval. The boundary of the body is subdivided into a number of components. On each component a time-dependent heat flux is applied which is independent of the others. Since the thermophysical properties are t...

Considering a temperature dependent two-level quantum system, we have numerically solved the Landau-Zener transition problem. The method includes the incorporation of temperature effect as a thermal noise added Schrödinger equation for the construction of the Hamiltonian. Here, the obtained results which describe the changes in the system including the quantum states and the transition pro...

in this paper, wavelet collocation method has been used to solve nonlinear fin problem with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient. thermal conductivity of fin materials varies any type so that we consider thermal conductivity as the general function of temperature.  here we consider three particular cases, where we assume that thermal conductivity is constant,...

the major hydraulic phase in all the calcium aluminate cements including ciment fondue is ca (caal2o4). once hydrated, it starts to form the hexagonal crystals of cah10 and c2ah8 that depending on the time and temperature of hydration convert to the cubic crystals of c3ah6 and ah3. the nature, sequence, crystallinity and microstructure of hydrated phases of commercial refractory calcium alumina...

the methanol extract of ichnocarpus frutescens r.br. root (meif) was evaluated for its anti-pyretic potential on normal body temperature and yeast-induced pyrexia in albino rats. yeast suspension (10 ml/kg body wt.) increased rectal temperature 19 h after subcutaneous injection. the meif, at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg body wt., p.o., produced significant reduction in normal body temperatu...
