The theory of generalized thermoelastic diffusion, based on the theory of Lord and Shulman, is used to study the thermoelastic-diffusion interactions in an infinitely long solid cylinder subjected to a thermal shock on its surface which is in contact with a permeating substance. By means of the Laplace transform and numerical Laplace inversion the problem is solved. Numerical results predict fi...

Previous experimental measurements and linear stability analyses of curvilinear shearing flows of viscoelastic fluids have shown that the combination of streamwise curvature and elastic normal stresses can lead to flow destabilization. Torsional shear flows of highly elastic fluids with closed streamlines can also accumulate heat from viscous dissipation resulting in nonuniformity in the temper...

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. by separating the real and imaginary parts of frequency, the quality factor of thermoelastic damping is calculated. both the stretching a...

[1] It is known that GPS time series contain a seasonal variation that is not due to tectonic motions, and it has recently been shown that crustal seismic velocities may also vary seasonally. In order to explain these changes, a number of hypotheses have been given, among which thermoelastic and hydrology‐induced stresses and strains are leading candidates. Unfortunately, though, since a genera...

a novel method to compute the stability region in power system transient stability analysis is presented. this method is based on the set analysis. the key to this method is to construct the hamilton-jacobi-isaacs (hji) partial differential equation (pde) of a nonlinear system, using which we can compute the backward reachable set by applying the level set methods. the backward reachable set of...
