... of thermodynamics at finite strain that is capable of capturing their rate-dependent inelastic mechanical behavior in wide ranges of deformation rate and amount. Design/methodology/approach The rheology model whose viscoelastic and viscoplastic elements are connected in series is set in accordance...

...Ibrahim A. Sultan; Azfar Kalim Purpose This paper seeks to describe a design approach which can be used to manufacture better‐performing reciprocating compressors. This design approach relates the drive kinematic characteristics to the thermodynamic performance of the compressor. Design...

...‐mechanical effect presents a physical interaction between the fundamental quantities of the sub‐domains elastomechanics, electrostatics and heat balance. Throughout thermodynamic analysis we derive the constitutive equations which describe the above behaviour and relate the main quantities which describe...
