Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a method for determining the numerical solutions of the thermal damage of cylindrical living tissues using hyperbolic bioheat model. Due to the complex governing equation, the finite element approach has been adopted to solve these problems. To approve the accuracy of the numerical solution, the numerical outcomes obtained by the finite element approach are compared with the existing experimental study. In addition, the comparisons between the numerical outcomes and the existing experimental data displays that the present mathematical models are efficient tools to evaluate the bioheat transfer in the cylindrical living tissue. Numerical computations for temperatures and thermal damage are presented graphically. Design/methodology/approach In this section, the complex equation of bioheat transfer based upon one relaxation time in cylindrical living tissue is summarized by using the finite element method. This method has been used here to get the solution of equation (8) with initial conditions (9) and boundary conditions (10). The finite element technique is a strong method originally advanced for numerical solutions of complex problems in many fields, and it is the approach of choice for complex systems. Another advantage of this method is that it makes it possible to visualize and quantify the physical effects independently of the experimental limits. Abbas and his colleagues [26-34] have solved several problems under generalized thermoelastic theories. Findings In this study, the different values of blood perfusion and thermal relaxation time of the dermal part of cylindrical living tissue are used. To verify the accuracy of the numerical solutions, the numerical outcomes obtained by the finite element procedure and the existing experimental study have been compared. This comparison displays that the present mathematical model is an effective tool to evaluate the bioheat transfer in the living tissue. Originality/value The validation of the obtained results by using experimental data the numerical solution of hyperbolic bioheat equation is presented. Due to the nonlinearity of the basic equation, the finite element approach is adopted. The effects of thermal relaxation times on the thermal damage and temperature are studied.

Abstract The sound radiating from rolling tires is the most important source of traffic noise in urban regions. In this contribution a detailed finite element approach for the dynamics of tire/road systems is presented with emphasis on rolling noise prediction. The analysis is split into sequential steps, namely, the nonlinear analysis of the stationary rolling problem within an arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian framework, and a subsequent analysis of the transient dynamic response due to the excitation caused by road surface roughness. Here, a modal superposition approach is employed using complex eigenvalue analysis. Finally, the sound radiation analysis of the rolling tire/road system is performed.
