Abstract: Flaw-induced delamination of orthotropic laminates subject to through-thickness temperature gradients is analyzed. A crack-like flaw impedes heat flow through the laminate, producing thermal stresses ...

Abstract: The role of the substrate in determining heat dissipation in high power electronics is calculated, subject to convective cooling in the small Biot number regime. Analytical models that exploit ...

Abstract: The vibro-acoustic performance of a rectangular double-panel partition with enclosed air cavity and simply mounted on an infinite acoustic rigid baffle is investigated analytically. The sound ...

Abstract: All biological bodies live in a thermal environment with the human body as no exception, where skin is the interface with protecting function. When the temperature moves out of normal physiological ...

Abstract: Skin biothermomechanics is highly interdisciplinary, involving bioheat transfer, burn damage, biomechanics, and physiology. Characterization of the thermomechanical behavior of skin tissue is of great ...

Abstract: The thermal characteristics of exit flow issued from an axial fan widely used for impingement cooling of power electronics are experimentally studied. A new fan configuration is proposed to ...

Abstract: This paper presents a cost effective semi-empirical analytical model for convective heat transfer in pin-fin heat sinks subjected to nonuniform heating set by a circular hot gas impinging jet. ...

Abstract: The transient thermal response of a sandwich panel with pin-fin core subjected to nonuniform impinging jet heating was investigated theoretically and experimentally. Forced convection flow passing ...

Abstract: The exit flow patterns of an axial flow fan widely used in electronics cooling are experimentally characterized both in free exit and in the presence of a flat impingement plate. The axial ...

Abstract: Fully developed forced convective heat transfer in a parallel-plate channel partially filled with highly porous, open-celled metallic foam is analytically investigated. The Navier–Stokes equation ...
