Abstract: The present paper concerns a finite thermoelastostatic analysis considering temperature-dependent mechanical and thermal properties of material. The Lamé elastic parameters, thermal expansion ...

Abstract: It is known that some composite materials or high-polymers behave differently in simple tension and compression. The present paper is concerned with a bending analysis of a different modulus ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new scheme for the first- and second-order design sensitivity analysis of the two-dimensional elastic problem by using Trefftz method. In the Trefftz method, the physical ...

Abstract: Two types of silicon nitride ceramic rotor have been introduced into the Japanese market by Toyota Motor Corporation, named CT26 and CT12A, to improve engine acceleration response by the reduction ...

Abstract: A silicon nitride (Si3 N4 ) radial inflow turbine wheel was fabricated by injection molding at Toyota Central R&D Labs. The wheel was 142 mm in outer diameter and had 14 blades. The ...
