Plastic deformation causes very small changes in the thermoelastic response of metallic materials; this variation of the thermoelastic constant has the potential to form the basis of a new non-destructive, non-contact, full-field technique for residual stress assessment that is quicker and cheaper than existing methods. The effect of plastic strain on the thermoelastic constant is presented as ...

In this paper the reflection and transmission at a plane interface between two different couple stress generalized thermoelastic solid half spaces in context of Loard-Shulman(LS)[1967] and Green-Lindsay(GL)[1972] theories in welded contact has been investigated. Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained due to incidence of a set of coupled longitudinal waves and c...

This article is concerned with the theoretical analysis of the functionally graded magneto-electro-thermoelastic hollow sphere due to uniform surface heating. We analyze the transient thermoelastic problem for a functionally graded hollow sphere constructed of the spherical isotropic and linear magneto-electro-thermoelastic materials using a laminated composite mode as one of theoretical approx...

This work aims to study some dynamical problems in the framework of nonlinear theory of micromorphic thermoelastic solids. First, the continuous dependence of smooth admissible thermodynamic processes upon initial state and supply terms is investigated in the region of state space where the internal energy is a convex function and the elastic material behaves as a definite conductor of heat. Th...

Thermoelastic instability in an automotive disk brake system is investigated experimentally under drag braking conditions. The onset of instability is clearly identifiable through the observation of nonuniformities in temperature measured using embedded thermocouples. A stability boundary is established in temperature/speed space, the critical temperature being attributable to temperature-depen...

In this work we investigate the material point model (MP-model) and exploit the geometrical meaning of the " entropy form " introduced by B.Coleman and R.Owen ([7]). We analyze full and partial integrability (close-ness) condition of the entropy form for the model of thermoelastic point and for the the deformable ferroelectric crystal media point. We show that the extended thermodynamical space...

The Cauchy integral method has been applied to derive exact and closed expressions for Goursat’s functions for the first and second fundamental problems for an infinite thermoelastic plate weakened by a hole having arbitrary shape. The plate considered is conformally mapped to the area of the right half-plane. Many previous discussions of various authors can be considered as special cases of th...

Thermoelastic instability in automotive disk brake systems is investigated focusing on the effect of a finite disk thickness. A finite layer model with an antisymmetric mode of deformation can estimate the onset of instability observed in actual disk brake systems. Also some effects of system parameters on stability are found to agree well to experimental observations. 1 Introduction Dow and Bu...

This paper presents a nonlinear model of a clamped-clamped microbeam actuated by an electrostatic load with stretching and thermoelastic effects. The frequency of free vibration is calculated by discretization based on the Differential Quadrature (DQ) Method. The frequency is a complex value due to the thermoelastic effect that dissipates energy. By separating the real and imaginary parts of fr...
