... thickness and the thermal contact conductance. An extensive series of parametric simulations and discussion of the implication of the results are also presented. The simulations show that the difference in material properties and geometry of the two conducting bodies has a pronounced influence...

... (KES) bending tests and provides the ability to simulate a continuum of property curves and to extrapolate to loading conditions not covered in the KES regimen. Model results are compared to experimental results. It is found that hysteretic behavior is observed due to friction between the yarns...

... are independent and in involution, as the number of their degrees of freedom, when they are regarded as Hamiltonian systems with complex time and coordinates. This also means the nonintegrability of the infinite-degree-of-freedom model for the beams. We present numerical simulation results and observe...

..., and a hardening potential. To maintain simplicity, the shape of the switching surface is assumed to be spherical in a modified deviatoric stress space. In order to ascertain the functional form of the hardening potential, micromechanical self-consistent simulations of multiple single crystals, with tetragonal...

... of the SMA with various applied tractions on the composite. While increasing stiffness of the matrix phase inhibits the contraction of the SMA, the simulations indicate that the use of a prestress in the manufacturing of the composite may provide an increase in the response time of the system without...
