    Three-Dimensional Unsteady Thermal Stress Analysis by Triple-Reciprocity Boundary Element Method

    Yoshihiro Ochiai1, Vladimir Sladek2, Jan Sladek2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.87, No.1, pp. 41-54, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.087.041

    Abstract The conventional boundary element method (BEM) requires a domain integral in unsteady thermal stress analysis with heat generation or an initial temperature distribution. In this paper it is shown that the three-dimensional unsteady thermal stress problem can be solved effectively using the triple-reciprocity boundary element method without internal cells. In this method, the distributions of heat generation and initial temperature are interpolated using integral equations and time-dependent fundamental solutions are used. A new computer program was developed and applied to solving several problems. More >

    Meshless Unsteady Thermo-Elastoplastic Analysis by Triple-Reciprocity Boundary Element Method

    Yoshihiro OCHIAI1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.79, No.2, pp. 83-102, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.079.083

    Abstract In general, internal cells are required to solve unsteady thermo-elasto -plastic problems using a conventional boundary element method (BEM). However, in this case, the merit of BEM, which is the easy preparation of data, is lost. The conventional multiple-reciprocity boundary element method (MRBEM) cannot be used to solve thermo-elastoplastic problems, because the distribution of initial stress cannot be determined analytically. In this paper, it is shown that two-dimensional unsteady thermo-elastoplastic problems can be solved without the use of internal cells by using the triple-reciprocity BEM and a thin plate spline. The initial stress formulation is More >

    Effect of Temperature and Creep on Roller Compacted Concrete Dam During the Construction Stages

    A. A. Abdulrazeg1, J. Noorzaei1,2, P. Khanehzaei1, M. S. Jaafar1, T. A. Mohammed1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.68, No.3, pp. 239-268, 2010, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2010.068.239

    Abstract Development of temperature rise in massive concrete structure such as a roller compacted concrete dam is attributed to hydration of concrete and environmental boundary conditions. These thermal changes in the material affect the elastic, creep properties of the material, and in turn, the stress fields within the structure. Therefore, the effects of temperature on the properties of RCC materials( elastic, creep) has to be taken into account in order to determine the risk of the thermally induced cracking in these dams. In the present work an attempt has been made to consider the effect of More >

    Transient Thermal Response of a Partially Insulated Crack in an Orthotropic Functionally Graded Strip under Convective Heat Supply

    Yueting Zhou1, Xing Li2, Dehao Yu1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.43, No.3, pp. 191-222, 2009, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2009.043.191

    Abstract The transient response of an orthotropic functionally graded strip with a partially insulated crack under convective heat transfer supply is considered. It is modeled there exists thermal resistant in the heat conduction through the crack region. The mixed boundary value problems of the temperature field and displacement field are reduced to a system of singular integral equations in Laplace domain. The expressions with high order asymptotic terms for the singular integral kernel are considered to improve the accuracy and efficiency. The numerical results present the effect of the material nonhomogeneous parameters, the orthotropic parameters and More >

    Effects of Heat Affected Zones Temperature on the General Performance of High Temperature Vacuum Tube Furnace

    A.B. Mahmud Hasan1,2, M A Wahab1, S.M. Guo1

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.4, No.4, pp. 231-240, 2008, DOI:10.3970/sdhm.2008.004.231

    Abstract This paper presents details analysis of Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) in High Temperature Vacuum Tube Furnace (HTVTF) to predict fracture region in tube wall due to thermal stress from temperature variation across its thickness. A simple mathematical model is used to illustrate stress concentration arising due to thermal stresses in tube wall and HAZs. Finite element model and analysis were carried out utilizing finite element analysis commercial codes. Combination of thermal stress due to temperature difference determine fracture region. Experimental and simulation results of inside temperature of tube are observed and similar relation have been More >

    The Lie-Group Shooting Method for Thermal Stress Evaluation Through an Internal Temperature Measurement

    Chein-Shan Liu1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.8, No.1, pp. 1-16, 2008, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2008.008.001

    Abstract In the present work we study numerical computations of inverse thermal stress problems. The unknown boundary conditions of an elastically deformable heat conducting rod are not given a priori and are not allowed to measure directly, because the boundary may be not accessible to measure. However, an internal measurement of temperature is available. We treat this inverse problem by using a semi-discretization technique, of which the time domain is divided into many sub-intervals and the physical quantities are discretized at these node points of discrete times. Then the resulting ordinary differential equations in the discretized More >

    Thermal Stress Analysis of Multi-layer Thin Films and Coatings by an Advanced Boundary Element Method

    Xiaolin Chen, Yijun Liu1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 337-350, 2001, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2001.002.337

    Abstract An advanced boundary element method (BEM) is developed in this paper for analyzing thin layered structures, such as thin films and coatings, under the thermal loading. The boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation for steady-state thermoelasticity is reviewed and a special case, that is, the BIE for a uniform distribution of the temperature change, is presented. The new nearly-singular integrals arising from the applications of the BIE/BEM to thin layered structures under thermal loading are treated in the same way as developed earlier for thin structures under the mechanical loading. Three 2-D test problems involving layered More >

    Cracking of GSO Single Crystal Induced by Thermal Stress

    N. Miyazaki1, T. Tamura2, K. Yamamoto1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.1, No.1, pp. 99-106, 2000, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2000.001.099

    Abstract Quantitative estimation of the failure of a gadolinium orthosilicate (Gd2SiO5, hereafter abbreviated as GSO) single crystal induced by thermal stress was investigated. A GSO cylindrical test specimen was heated in a silicone oil bath, then subjected to large thermal stress by room temperature silicone oil. Cracking occurred during cooling. The transient heat conduction analysis was performed to obtain temperature distribution in the test specimen at the time of cracking, using the surface temperatures measured in the test. Then the thermal stress was calculated using the temperature profile of the test specimen obtained from the heat conduction… More >
