...Hui-Shen Shen Compressive post-buckling under thermal environments and thermal post-buckling due to uniform temperature field or heat conduction are presented for a shear deformable functionally graded cylindrical shell with piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (PFRC) actuators. The material...

... are the stress-wave equation, the heat conduction equation, a kinetic and a constitutive law as well as a condition to ensure maximal damping. The major results are the heating history, which governs the phase transformation, and the domain splitting along the rod into elastic and inelastic regions...

...Shengyi Liu; Roger A. Dougal; Jed S. Lyons The electron beam formed between a conformal plasma cathode and a metal workpiece can be used to heat treat the workpiece. Analyses of the electron energy deposition profiles, heat conduction rates, and austinitizing rates show that it is possible to heat...
