The paper is concerned with the study of magneto-thermoelastic interactions in three dimensional thermoelastic medium under the purview of three-phase-lag model of generalized thermoelasticity. The medium under consideration is assumed to be homogeneous orthotropic medium. The fundamental equations of the three-dimensional problem of generalized thermoelasticity are obtained as a vector-matrix ...

This paper is concerned with the study of propagation of Stoneley waves at the interface of two dissimilar isotropic microstretch thermoelastic diffusion medium in the context of generalized theories of thermoelasticity. The dispersion equation of Stoneley waves is derived in the form of a determinant by using the boundary conditions. The dispersion curves giving the phase velocity and attenuat...

An analysis is given of thermoelastic noise ~thermal noise due to thermoelastic dissipation! in finite sized test masses of laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors. Finite-size effects increase the thermoelastic noise by a modest amount; for example, for the sapphire test masses tentatively planned for LIGO-II and plausible beam-spot radii, the increase is &10 percent. As a side issue...

Thermoelastic loss is an important energy dissipation mechanisms in resonant systems. A careful analysis of the thermoelastic critical to design low-noise devices for high-precision applications, such as mirrors used gravitational-wave detectors. In this paper, we present analytical solutions due thermoelasticity between different materials that are contact. We find expressions multimaterial co...

The relation between shortening heat and sarcomere length was studied using fiber bundles from frog semitendinosus muscles as well as using whole muscles. The initial sarcomere length was varied between 2.0 and 3.66 micron. Shortening heat was estimated as the excess heat produced after a rapid isovelocity release in a 3 sec tetanus at 0 degrees C. The isometric control heat was measured in the...
