The wave velocity of a FPCW is usually greater than the EWF as vibration frequency rises such that carrier behavior on and in front of the EWF will be disturbed in advance. This interaction between two waves can stimulate a few novel dynamic features which are of obvious significance for the research and development of innovative piezoelectric electronic devices. Hence, we firstly established a dynamic model on the propagation processes of elastic waves in piezoelectric semiconductors and developed an alternately iterative algorithm between piezoelectric and semiconducting properties in this paper. Then, the propagation behavior of an elastic wave in an n-type ZnO rod was taken as an example to elucidate the dispersion and dissipation arising from the coupling between electric field and charge carriers. It was found that the action of a FPCW on the EWF can stir up previously undiscovered bizarre features in the following two aspects. One is the energy transfer between different frequency wave components from low-order to high-order vibration modes implemented by the flow of charge carriers, where the transfer process bears a resemblance story to the ‘vacated room’ operation in Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel. The other more intriguing one is that when a tensile/compressive deformation signal is input, an opposite phase signal will be induced at the leading edge of the EWF by the FPCW through the inverse piezoelectric effect, meaning the appearance of a compressive/tensile signal in front of the input tensile/compressive one. The reason to appear such a phenomenon is that the electric field phase of the FPCW is precisely opposite to the one on the corresponding EWF. Evidently, the present studies will advance the integration and development of elastic dynamics and semiconductor physics, thereby providing valuable guidance for the research and development of new electronic devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14053,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Science","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 104160"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assume an imperfect contact between the layer and the half-space, allowing some sliding. We also assume some elastic bonds between the layer and the substrate. On the free top surface we apply the compatibility conditions within the Gurtin–Murdoch surface elasticity. We found two different solutions: (i) the transversely exponential–transversely exponential (TE–TE) regime with amplitudes decaying exponentially from the free top surface and the interface in both the plate and the half-space, and (ii) the transversely harmonic–transversely exponential (TH–TE) regime with harmonic wave behaviour in the transverse direction in the plate and exponential decay in the half-space. The TE regime of anti-plane waves in an elastic half-space with non-perfect contact is also considered as a special case. A detailed analysis of the derived dispersion relations reveals a crucial influence of the interface stiffness on the phase velocities of anti-plane waves. This effect consists in the decrease of the phase velocities when the interfacial bonds are weakened. The strongest effect of the interfacial sliding on the phase velocities was observed for the long-length waves belonging to the TE–TE regime. Based on the derived lower bounds for the wave numbers from which the TE–TE regime of anti-plane waves exists, we have developed the theoretical background and methodology for assessing the bond stiffness of thin plates imperfectly bonded to an elastic substrate.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14053,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Science","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 104158"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, micro-vascular stenosis significantly influences the dynamics of red blood cells and hence causes several micro-vascular disorders. Thus, the objective of the current study is to numerically simulate cellular blood flow in stenosed micro-vessels with different stenosis severities and hematocrits to examine hemodynamic features which have important clinical implications. Red blood cells’ migration, velocity, and deformation are predicted. Furthermore, platelets’ margination and cell-free layer formation are examined. Accordingly, a three-dimensional numerical simulation of blood cells and their interaction with the surrounding plasma is considered. The simulation is performed using a validated code developed for cellular blood flows. Red blood cells’ migration and platelets’ margination are confirmed, which enhances the validity of the code. The obtained results report a high dependence of red blood cells’ migration and platelets’ margination on the hematocrit level, which agrees with other published studies. An asymmetrical cell-free layer thickness is exhibited along the stenosed vessel, with a maximum value at the throat of the stenosis, which greatly affects blood apparent viscosity and induces plasma skimming in this region. In addition, it is found that the cell-free layer thickness is strongly linked to stenosis severity and the hematocrit level. Due to its role in the endothelial cells’ function and structure, the wall shear stress is estimated. A reduction more than 75 % in the wall shear stress is obtained due to stenosis, with maximum values at the throat compared with the healthy case. The Fahraeus effect is examined, and the obtained results are compared with published experimental and computational works with an acceptable degree of agreement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14053,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Science","volume":"205 ","pages":"Article 104155"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142330002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
