This review examines a number of theoretical constitutive equations which are applicable to the description of rheological behaviors of synovial fluids. These equations include the integral type, the rate type, the differential type and the generalized new-tonian fluid. Explicit values of the material parameters and/or material functions appearing in these equations are obtained from the many rheological measurements on synovial fluids of the literature. Many of the values of these parameters are taken from the literature, but some are newly computed values obtained by the present authors to make the list of available constitutive equations more extensive, using the existing experimental data. It is hoped that the diversity of the constitutive equations presented here and their appropriate material constants and/or functions will afford researchers in the field of synovial joint biomechanics the choice of a particular constitutive model for synovial fluid to meet their specific purpose.

In this work we calculate the transmission coefficients for tunneling of electrons and holes through biased triple barriers (double-wells) semiconductor heterostructures (TBSH’s), composed of Ga1−xAlxAs–GaAs–Ga1−xAlxAs with x = 0.45. The calculations are based on the effective mass theory that employs the spatial effective masses and the temperature dependent of the material parameters that constitute the heterostructure. The transverse motions of carriers are also considered. In the analysis the Airy’s function formalism is taken into account. It is found that, the resonant transmission energies for both electrons and holes are decreased by enhancing the applied voltage. Also, the total resonant transmission energies for the tunneling carriers are deviated toward higher energies, as the temperature is increased. Therefore, these devices should be operated at low temperatures. Furthermore, the present work shows a discrepancy in resonant transmission energies with those reported ones, due to ignoring the effect of temperature.

Applicable design codes for power plant components and pressure vessels demand for a design check against progressive plastic deformation. In the simplest case, this demand is satisfied by compliance with shakedown rules in connection with elastic analyses. The possible non-compliance implicates the requirement of ratcheting analyses on elastic-plastic basis. In this case, criteria are specified on maximum allowable accumulated growth strain without clear guidance on what material models for cyclic plasticity are to be used. This is a considerable gap and a challenge for the practicing CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) engineer. As a follow-up to two independent previous papers PVP2013-98150 ASME [1] and PVP2014-28772 [2] it is the aim of this paper to close this gap by giving further detailed recommendation on the appropriate application of the nonlinear kinematic material model of Chaboche on an engineering scale and based on implementations already available within commercial finite element codes such as ANSYS® and ABAQUS®. Consistency of temperature-dependent runs in ANSYS® and ABAQUS® is to be checked. All three papers together constitute a comprehensive guideline for elasto-plastic ratcheting analysis. The following issues are examined and/or referenced: • Application of monotonic or cyclic material data for ratcheting analysis based on the Chaboche material model • Discussion of using monotonic and cyclic data for assessment of the (non-stabilized) cyclic deformation behavior • Number of backstress terms to be applied for consistent ratcheting results • Consideration of the temperature dependency of the relevant material parameters • Consistency of temperature-dependent runs in ANSYS® and ABAQUS® • Identification of material parameters dependent on the number of backstress terms • Identification of material data for different types of material (carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel) including the appropriate determination of the elastic limit • Quantification of conservatism of simple elastic-perfectly plastic behavior • Application of engineering versus true stress-strain data • Visual checks of data input consistency • Appropriate type of allowable accumulated growth strain. This way, a more accurate inelastic analysis methodology for direct practical application to real world examples in the framework of the design code conforming elasto-plastic ratcheting check is proposed.

A process of lyophilization of paper books is modeled. The process of drying is controlled by a dielectric heating system. From the physical viewpoint, the task represents a 2D coupled problem described by two partial differential equations for the electric and temperature fields. The material parameters are supposed to be temperature-dependent functions. The continuous mathematical model is solved numerically. The methodology is illustrated with some examples whose results are discussed.

Rotational flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid induced by an infinite circular cylinder that applies a constant couple to the fluid is studied by means of integral transforms. Such a problem is not solved in the existing literature for rate type fluids and the present solutions are based on a simple but important remark regarding the governing equation for the non-trivial shear stress. The solutions that have been obtained satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions and can easy be reduced to the similar solutions corresponding to Maxwell, second-grade, and Newtonian fluids performing the same motion. Finally, the influence of material parameters on the velocity and shear stress distributions is graphically underlined.
