Abstract: The null controllability problem is considered for 2-D thermoelastic plates under hinged mechanical boundary conditions. The resulting partial differential equation system generates an analytic semigroup on the space of finite energy. Consequently, because the thermoelastic system is associated with an infinite speed of propagation, the null controllability question is a suitable one ...

Analysis for the propagation of plane harmonic thermoelastic waves in an infinite homogeneous orthotropic plate of finite thickness in the generalized theory of thermoelasticity with two thermal relaxation times is studied. The frequency equations corresponding to the extensional (symmetric) and flexural (antisymmetric) thermoelastic modes of vibration are obtained and discussed. Special cases ...

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...

Abstract This paper presents a novel approach to accurately simulate the dynamic characteristics of rack and pinion lifting mechanism while accounting for coupling effect meshing tooth pair stiffness grease in real-world environments. A structure-grease model is established based on deformation coordination conditions meshing. The incorporates term time-varying pinion. By analyzing combined com...

The present article deals with the two parts: (i)The propagation of plane waves in a microstretch thermoelastic diffusion solid of infinite extent. (ii)The reflection and transmission of plane waves at a plane interface between inviscid fluid half-space and micropolar thermoelastic diffusion solid half-space.It is found that for two-dimensional model, there exist four coupled longitudinal waves...

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...

The importance of thermoelastic damping as a fundamental dissipation mechanism for small-scale mechanical resonators is evaluated in light of recent efforts to design high-Q micrometerand nanometer-scale electromechanical systems. The equations of linear thermoelasticity are used to give a simple derivation for thermoelastic damping of small flexural vibrations in thin beams. It is shown that Z...

Abstract—In this study, the thermoelastic instability (TEI) was analyzed using the finite element analysis technique. The governing dynamic and heat equations were described. Three dimensional thermomechanical analysis model of the disc brake system were created. An intermediate processor based on the staggered approached was used to exchange result data: temperature, friction contact power, no...
