This paper examines the multiphysics of multilayered and functionally graded cylinders subjected to steady-state hygrothermomagnetoelectromechanical loading. The cylinder is assumed to be axisymmetric, infinitely long, and with either hollow or solid cross section that is, both polarized and magnetized radially. The multiphysics model is used to investigate the effect of moisture, temperature, magnetic, electric, and mechanical loadings. The influence of imperfectly bonded interfaces is also accounted for in the governing equations. Exact solutions of differential equations are obtained for each homogenous layer of the multilayered cylinder. The results are verified with those available in literature for a homogenous infinitely long cylinder and can also be applied to study the multiphysics of thin circular disks. Maps are presented for solid and hollow cylinders to visualize the effect of hygrothermomagnetoelectromechanical loading, heterogeneity of bonded layers, and imperfectly bonded interfaces. The plots offer insight into the behavior of heterogeneous magnetoelectroelastic media in a steady state hygrothermal field.

In the present paper, two kinds of thick-walled hollow cylinders are studied. One is the cylinder with multi-layers and another is functionally graded cylinder. Both the cylinders are made of piezoelectric materials. Based on the basic piezoelectric equations, the exact solutions for the elastic hollow cylinder with N-layers submitted to external voltage are obtained. For the graded hollow cylinder the exact solutions are obtained by using displacement method and three hypergeometric functions. Comparisons demonstrate that the limitation of the multilayer cases is consistent with that of graded cases.

In this paper, exact solutions for double curved functionally graded shells subjected to static and dynamic distributed loads are presented for the first time. Shear deformable shell theory is used and the governing equations for the laminated and functionally graded shells with respect to the middle surface are presented in the Laplace transform domain. The exact solutions of the laminated and functionally graded shells should serve as benchmark solutions for numerical methods.

Abstract A procedure based on steady state rolling contact Finite Element Analysis (FEM) has been developed to predict tire cross section tread wear profile under specified vehicle driving conditions. This procedure not only considers the tire construction effects, it also includes the effects of materials, vehicle setup, test course, and driver's driving style. In this algorithm, the vehicle driving conditions are represented by the vehicle acceleration histogram. Vehicle dynamic simulations are done to transform the acceleration histogram into tire loading condition distributions for each tire position. Tire weight loss rates for different vehicle accelerations are generated based on a steady state rolling contact simulation algorithm. Combining the weight loss rate and the vehicle acceleration histogram, nine typical tire loading conditions are chosen with different weight factors to represent tire usage conditions. It is discovered that the tire tread wear rate profile is changing continuously as the tire is worn. Simulation of a new tire alone cannot be used to predict the tire cross-section tread wear profile. For this reason, an incremental tread wear simulation procedure is performed to predict the tire cross section tread wear profile. Compared with actual tire cross-section tread wear profiles, good results are obtained from the simulations.

The present paper deals with a new analytical approach of nonlinear global buckling of spiral corrugated functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) cylindrical shells subjected to radial loads. The equilibrium equation system is formulated by using the Donnell shell theory with the von Karman’s nonlinearity and an improved homogenization model for spiral corrugated structure. The obtained governing equations can be used to research the nonlinear postbuckling of mentioned above structures. By using the Galerkin method and a three term solution of deflection, an approximated analytical solution for the nonlinear stability problem of cylindrical shells is performed. The linear critical buckling loads and postbuckling strength of shells under radial loads are numerically investigated. Effectiveness of spiral corrugation in enhancing the global stability of spiral corrugated FG-CNTRC cylindrical shells is investigated.

In one-dimensional hexagonal piezoelectric quasi-crystals, there exist the phonon–phason, electro–phonon, and electro–phason couplings. Therefore, the phonon–phason coupling and piezoelectric effects on axial guided wave characteristics in one-dimensional hexagonal functionally graded piezoelectric quasi-crystal (FGPQC) cylinders are investigated by utilizing the Legendre polynomial series method. The dispersion curves and cut-off frequencies are illustrated. Wave characteristics in three hollow cylinders with different quasi-periodic directions are comparatively studied. Some new wave phenomena are revealed: the phonon–phason coupling and piezoelectric effects on the longitudinal and torsional phonon modes ( N = 0) vary as the quasi-periodic direction changes; the phonon–phason coupling effect on flexural–torsional modes in the r-, z-FGPQC hollow cylinders, and on flexural–longitudinal modes in ϑ-FGPQC hollow cylinders increases as N increases. The corresponding results obtained in this work lay the theoretical foundation for the design and manufacture of piezoelectric transducers with high resolution and energy-conversion efficiency.

AbstractThe contact problem for thermoelectric materials with functionally graded properties is considered. The material properties, such as the electric conductivity, the thermal conductivity, the shear modulus, and the thermal expansion coefficient, vary in an exponential function. Using the Fourier transform technique, the electro-thermo-elastic problems are transformed into three sets of singular integral equations which are solved numerically in terms of the unknown normal electric current density, the normal energy flux, and the contact pressure. Meanwhile, the complex homogeneous solutions of the displacement fields caused by the gradient parameters are simplified with the help of Euler’s formula. After addressing the non-linearity excited by thermoelectric effects, the particular solutions of the displacement fields can be assessed. The effects of various combinations of material gradient parameters and thermoelectric loads on the contact behaviors of thermoelectric materials are presented. The results give a deep insight into the contact damage mechanism of functionally graded thermoelectric materials (FGTEMs).

Two infinitely long parallel conductors of arbitrary cross section connected to a voltage source form a loop. If the source voltage depends on time, then due to induction there is no constant current density in the loop conductors. It is only recently that a method has been published for accurately calculating current density in a group of long parallel conductors. The method has thus far been applied to the calculation of steady-state current density in a loop connected to a sinusoidal voltage source. In the present article, the method is used for an accurate calculation of transient current using transient current density. The transient current is analysed when connecting and short-circuiting the sources of sinusoidal, constant and sawtooth voltages. For circular cross section conductors, the dependences of maximum current density, maximum current and the time of achieving steady state on the source frequency, the distance of the conductors and their resistivity when connecting the source of sinusoidal voltage are examined.

The influence of utilizing different nanofluids types on the liquid cold plate (LCP) is numerically investigated. The thermal and fluid flow performance of LCP is examined by using pure ethylene glycol (EG), Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG. The volume fraction of the nanoparticle for both nanofluid is 2%. The finite volume method (FVM) has been used to solved 3-D steady state, laminar flow and heat transfer governing equations. The presented results indicate that Al2O3-EG able to provide the lowest surface temperature of the heater block followed by CuO-EG and EG, respectively. It is also found that the pressure drop and friction factor are higher for Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG compared to the pure EG.

Based on equivalent transformation by means of mathematically rigorous analytics, the stress analysis of heavy cross-sectional, non-homogeneous Functionally Graded Composites (FGCs) has been performed by the layering calculation model in axis-symmetrical mechanics problems. The partially calculated results of the non-homogeneous layered thick-walled metal tube are similar to the design and practice of machine forging moulds manufactured with special welding electrodes developed by the German Capilla Company. The analysis is used complementary to the investigation of the quantitative analysis of thermo-mechanical properties, or the so-called anti-design and the optimization of the graded structure for FGCs.
