The effects of material damping on flutter of stressed rectangular panels are studied within the context of linear thermoelasticity theory. The closed-form expression for the thermoelastic (material) damping coefficient is obtained as a function of frequency, panel temperature and dimensions, and material properties. The solution of the stability boundary-value problem is obtained by use of a generalized Galerkin method in the cross-stream direction which reduces the governing partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations in the streamwise direction. These equations are then solved exactly. Numerical results are given for the thermoelastic damping coefficients and for the flutter speeds of partially and fully clamped panels subjected to midplane stress.

Stemming from environmental, genetic, and situational factors, chronic disease is a critical concern in modern medicine. Managing treatment and controlling symptoms is imperative to the longevity and quality of life of patients with such diseases. The Handbook of Research on Trends in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Conditions features current research on the diagnosis, monitoring, management, and treatment of recurring diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, autoimmune disorders, and others. This handbook is intended for practitioners and researchers across various disciplines including, but not limited to, biology, biomedical engineering, computer science, and information and communication technologies. Aimed at identifying new disease determinants and the way in which new technologies can contribute to improved health outcomes, this handbook covers a variety of topics, including wearable and mobile technologies, capillaroscopy imaging, diagnostic and monitoring methods, and disease prediction modeling, among others.
