Thermoelastic interactions in an infinite homogeneous elastic medium with a spherical or cylindrical cavity are studied. The cavity surface is subjected to a ramp-type heating of its internal boundary which is assumed to be traction free.

In this paper, a general finite element model is proposed to analyze transient phenomena in thermoelastic model in the context of the theory of generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time with variable thermal conductivity. An application of an infinitely long annular cylinder was studied, where the inner surface is traction free and subjected to thermal shock, while the outer surface ... Read more

An analysis is presented for the thermal radiation effect on the non-Darcy natural convection over a vertical flat plate in a fluid saturated porous medium.

Employing Biot's theory for wave propagation in a porous solid, the frequency equation for radial vibrations of a poroelastic cylinder is obtained. The frequency equation has been derived in the form of a determinant involving Bessel functions. The roots of the frequency equation give the values of the characteristic circular frequency parameters of the first four modes for various geometries. ... Read more

A finite element method is used to study the heat-transfer response of an incompressible, laminar, transient free convection flow over a semi-infinite vertical plate. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved by the finite element method (FEM). The resulting non-linear integral equations are linearized and solved using the Newton–Raphson iteration. The resulting first-order ordinary differential equations with respect to time are ... Read more

Biological tissues like articular cartilage and geomaterials like clay have a multicomponent microstructure. The charged solid is saturated by a viscous fluid, which itself is composed of several components: the liquid solvent and the dissolved ions, namely, water, anions and cations. These charged multiphase materials exhibit a swelling behaviour under varying chemical conditions. Read more

Materials like soft biological tissues undergo large viscoelastic deformations during the swelling process. Following this, it is the goal of this contribution to merge the advances of finite viscoelasticity laws and the state of the art in electrochemical swelling theories within a well‐founded multiphasic concept. The numerical treatment is carried out fully 3‐d in the framework of the FEM. Read more

The present paper investigates the longitudinal wave propagation in a perfectly conducting elastic circular cylinder in the presence of an axial initial magnetic field. The elastic cylinder is assumed to be made of a transversely isotropic material. The frequency equation is obtained and discussed. Numerical results are represented graphically in different cases depending on the given magnetic field. Finally, some ... Read more
