Appropriate non-dimensional variables are initiated to reduce the governing equations into a convenient form. By utilizing the procedure of finite difference, reduced equations are then solved for all time. Besides, series solutions are obtained using perturbation technique for short time and asymptotic method for long time which agree with the acquired numerical solution up to a good accuracy. When the mixed convection parameter Ri, radiation conduction parameter Rd, magnetic field parameter M and the volume fractions of nanoparticles ϕ1 and ϕ2 are increased, the local skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are found to increase. Results revealed that the hybrid nanofluid (Cu-Al2O3/water) enhances the heat transfer about 28.28% in comparison to the Al2O3-water nanofluid and about 51.15% than the pure fluid. Contrary to this, the heat transfer of hybrid nanofluid is augmented about 41.76% than the Cu-water nanofluid and 71.41% than the base fluid. The streamlines and isotherms reveal that higher values of Ri, M and Rd delay the boundary layer separation and accordingly shrink the vortices. Moreover, the thermal boundary layer is thickened for the increment of aforesaid quantities. The surface temperature parameter augments the local skin friction coefficient, however, the reverse characteristic is observed for the local Nusselt number.","PeriodicalId":37801,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47851221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modified couple stress theory was used to consider the small-scale effect via the application of nonlocal parameter. Employing Hamilton's principle, two coupled nonlinear differential equations were derived based on the nonlinear von-Karman strain-displacement relation and the classical plate theory. The Galerkin-based procedure was utilized to obtain a Duffing-type nonlinear ordinary differential equation with a cubic nonlinear term and solved by the application of MSM. The effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio, different boundary conditions, and the nonlinear shift frequencies, were obtained on the overall behavior of the nano-disk. Results indicate that increasing the central dimensionless amplitude of the nano-disk, the nonlinear frequency, and the shift index exhibit an increasing behavior, while the increase in the non-dimensional nonlocal parameter, causes a decrease in the nonlinear frequency ratios and the shift index. Additionally, the increase in h/r increases the effect of dimensionless central amplitude on the nonlinear frequencies ratios. Additionally, comparison of the current results with those previously published in the literature shows good agreements. This indicates that the MSM can ease up the solution, and hence, can be applied to the solution of nonlinear nano-disks with high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":37801,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45618092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The linear axisymmetric vibration of the circular FG nano-plates based on the non-local strain gradient (NSG) model is the focal point of this study. In this regard, the non-local elasticity theory (NET) and strain gradient (SG) models are used in conjunction with Hamilton's principle to obtain the governing equations. Discretization of the obtained governing equations is performed with the help of generalized differential quadrature rule (GDQR) and Galerkin weighted residual method (GWRM). The analysis is focused on the effect of non-local and material parameters, as well as the aspect ratio, heterogeneity index of FG material, different boundary conditions, and frequency number on the overall behavior of nano-plate. On using the Galerkin method, a system of linear differential equations is obtained and solved to determine the natural linear frequencies and mode shapes. The obtained results are then compared with the existing results in the literature. On using the proposed procedure in this paper, the dynamic behavior of nano-plate under different boundary conditions can be well described. In addition, the existing deficiencies in other non-local theories can be eliminated. The results of this investigation can be considered as a turning point in the improvement of theoretical results for achieving a better prediction of vibrational behavior in nanostructures.","PeriodicalId":37801,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48571618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed effort is to examine approaches to produce straightforward methods of designing a given mechanical metamaterial to have a specified gap in the frequency spectrum by adjusting its local mass and stiffness values of the individual cells. Previous work in mechanical metamaterial design has focused on using optimization procedures concerned with global vibration suppression. Here our efforts are focused on frequency separation using two direct approaches by interpreting techniques from the areas of model updating and inverse eigenvalue solutions. Rather than examining the overall suppression of vibration, creating specific bandgaps eliminates the possibility of resonance occurring in a given range of excitation frequencies.","PeriodicalId":37801,"journal":{"name":"Applied and Computational Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44364000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contribution of external and internal skin frictions to equivalent unit stiffnesses is evaluated by normalized dimensionless weighting coefficients in the form of average value with the penetration depth. Application of new load transfer model to a jacked open-ended pile concerning semi-empirical models of external and internal unit skin frictions leads to corresponding explicit expressions of weighting coefficient.

Transferring heat to the infected cell is one of them. The purpose of this research is to investigate the tissue-temperature controlled system in thermal ablation and compare with two different point heating processes, namely constant and step heating. For this purpose, the finite element model of Penne’s bio-heat equation has been developed to measure the temperature within the two-dimensional tissue model embedded with a small tumor. The tissue temperature-controlled heating was designed to restrict the healthy tissue temperature below the damage threshold temperature. Using the temperature profile, tissue damage index was measured with the help of Arrhenius rate equation. The results show that the tissue temperature-controlled system reduces the temperature of healthy tissue nearby the infected cell to 40% compare to constant and step point heating. This system keeps the healthy tissue within the threshold value (43oC) up to 1000s when it is 100s for other two techniques. After 200s, healthy tissue nearby the infected cell start to damage for constant and step point heating. But temperature-controlled system always keep the healthy tissue safe.
