On the Derivation of One and Two Dimensional Equations for Layered Elastic Beams and Plates with Interface Slips
Yilin Qu, Jiashi Yang
Mindlins systematic procedure of power series expansion for deriving one and two dimensional equations of elastic beams and plates is extended to layered beams and plates with inte…
Flow through an Electromechanical Tube Driven by a Voltage
Yilin Qu, Hendrik J. Viljoen, Jiashi Yang
We study the axial flow of a nonviscous and incompressible fluid in a circular tube made from an electromechanical material. The tube is driven into radial motion by an electric vo…
Multiscale modeling of thermal properties in Polyurethane incorporated with phase change materials composites: A case study
Bokai Liu, Weizhuo Lu, Xiaoyue Hu +4
Polyurethane (PU) is an ideal thermal insulation material due to its excellent thermal properties. The incorporation of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) capsules into Polyurethane (PU…
Vibration Analysis of Piezoelectric Kirchhoff-Love Shells based on Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surfaces
Zhaowei Liu, Andrew McBride, Prashant Saxena +3
An isogeometric Galerkin approach for analysing the free vibrations of piezoelectric shells is presented. The shell kinematics is specialised to infinitesimal deformations and foll…
