Abstract: A simple and direct derivation of certain balance (or conservation) laws for linear dynamic elasticity is presented including nonhomogeneities, thermal effects, anisotropy, and body forces. ...

Abstract: Formulas are derived for the stresses and displacements in a bimaterial strip which is subjected to a temperature gradient that varies linearly in the longitudinal direction. The solution is ...

Abstract: The residual stress distribution in bimaterial beams induced by multiple thermal loadings has been investigated. Three models for the nonlinear stress-strain material behavior were considered: ...

Abstract: A classic paper by Timoshenko in 1925 dealt with thermal stresses in bimetal thermostats and has been widely used for designing laminated structures, and in contemporary studies of stresses in ...

Abstract: A new method for analyzing plane wave propagation in a periodically layered, elastic, nonhomogeneous composite body is proposed. The nonhomogeneity considered is a variation of the material ...

Abstract: With the worldwide prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, much attention has been focused on simulating the characteristics of the human heart to better understand and treat cardiac disorders. ...
