...Usiel S. Silva; Juan M. Sandoval; Luis A. Flores; Narcizo Muñoz; Víctor Hernández The geometry, density and velocity of a typical small caliber bullet, are the main factors that stabilize its flight path, range and the impact force; thus the weight variations can indicate the presence...

... entropy density specific heat elastic moduli compressible flow equations of state In thermodynamics of fluids one encounters different notions of stable equilibrium. One is that internal energy is a convex function of entropy and specific volume. Another is that certain material properties...

... and mass density of the FGM are assumed to vary exponentially along the gradation direction. The out-of-plane displacement field and its gradients about the crack tip were obtained in powers of radial coordinates, with the coefficients depending on the time rates of change of crack tip speed and stress...

...W. D. Armstrong, Assistant Professor, Assoc. Mem. ASME,; V. Kumar, Associate Professor, Mem. ASME, The present paper reports a new discrete complex compliance spectra method in which each frequency component is a direct function of stress and relative density. Comparisons between model calculations...

...Q. Wang We examine the local dynamics of nonisothermal viscous flows in the neighborhood of the constant equilibria using the thermomechanically consistent constrained theory for materials with prescribed temperature-dependent density developed by Cao et al.. We discover that the linearized growth...
