Impact Strength and Hardness Properties of Banana Pseudo‐Stem Filled Unplastisized PVC Composites

Abstract

A dynamical two-dimensional problem of a homogeneous transversely isotropic fibre-reinforced generalized thermoelastic solid with an overlying acoustic fluid layer has been considered to investigate disturbance due to mechanical load. Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are applied to solve the problem. Uniformly distributed and linearly distributed forces are applied to illustrate the utility of the approach. A numerical inversion technique has been applied to obtain the solution in the physical domain. Numerical results are obtained and presented graphically to show the effect of anisotropy along with the comparison of homogeneous transversely isotropic fibre-reinforced generalized thermoelastic solid and isotropic elastic solid.

Fibre-Reinforced Generalized Thermoelastic Medium Subjected to Gravity Field

“…Singh [17] studied the effects of anisotropy on reflection coefficients of plane waves in fibre-reinforced thermoelastic solid. Kumar and Gupta [18] investigated a source problem in fibre-reinforced anisotropic generalized thermoelastic solid under acoustic fluid layer. Alla et al [19] investigated propagation of Rayleigh waves in generalized magneto-thermoplastic orthotropic material under initial stress and gravity field.…”

Fibre-Reinforced Generalized Thermoelastic Medium under Hydrostatic Initial Stress

“…Singh [20] studied the effects of anisotropy on reflection coefficients of plane waves in fibre-reinforced thermoe-lastic solid. Kumar and Gupta [21] investigated a source problem in fibre-reinforced anisotropic generalized thermoelastic solid under acoustic fluid layer. The development of initial stresses in the medium is due to many reasons, for example, resulting from differences of temperature, process of quenching, shot pinning and cold working, slow process of creep, differential external forces, gravity variations, etc.…”
