Abstract In order to analyze the influence of the anodizing process on the thermal load of an aluminum alloy piston, dedicated temperature tests have been carried out using the Hardness Plug method and the results for the anodized piston have been compared with those obtained separately for an original aluminum piston. In addition, numerical simulations have been conducted to analyze the temperature field and thermal stress distribution. Simulations and experiments show that the maximum temperature of the anodized piston is 16.36% and 5.4% smaller than that of the original piston under the condition of maximum torque More >

Abstract Thermal load has a vital influence on the normal operation and service life of diesel engines. In this study, the thermal load and oil-cooling effect on diesel engine pistons were investigated by means of computational fluid dynamics. In particular, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the cooling gallery were determined during the oscillation of the piston. Moreover, the temperature field distribution of the piston with and without the cooling gallery were compared. The results revealed that the cooling gallery has a prominent effect on reducing the thermal load on the piston crown and piston More >

Abstract Data centers are of crucial importance today in the storage and retrieval of large amounts of data. Most organizations and firms, ranging from banks and online retailers to government departments and internet companies, use data centers to store information that can be recovered efficiently and rapidly. As the deployment of data centers has increased, along with their capacity for data storage, the demands on thermal management have also increased. It is necessary to remove the energy dissipated by the electronic circuitry since the temperature of the components must not rise beyond acceptable levels that could… More >

Abstract In engineering practice, analysis of interfacial thermal stresses in composites is a crucial task for assuring structural integrity when sever environmental temperature changes under operations. In this article, the directly transformed boundary integrals presented previously for treating generally anisotropic thermoelasticity in two-dimension are fully regularized by a semi-analytical approach for modeling thin multi-layers of anisotropic/isotropic composites, subjected to general thermal loads with boundary conditions prescribed. In this process, an additional difficulty, not reported in the literature, arises due to rapid fluctuation of an integrand in the directly transformed boundary integral equation. In conventional analysis, thin… More >

Abstract Analytical expressions have been derived for the through thickness stresses of a Functional graded materials (FGMs) thin plate subjected to thermal loading, pure bending and thermo-mechanical coupling, respectively. The structure is comprised of a metallic layer, a ceramic layer and a functional graded layer. Continuous gradation of the volume fraction in the FGM layer is modeled in the form of an "m" power polynomial of the coordinate axis in thickness direction of the plate. Numerical scheme of discretizing the continuous FGM layer with different graded distributions such as linear (m=1), quadratic (m=2) and square root More >

Abstract The paper analyzes the hygrothermal loading effects in the bending of multilayered composite plates. Refined two-dimensional models are used to evaluate these effects, they are implemented in the framework of the Carrera's Unified Formulation (CUF) which also allows classical models to be obtained. Hygroscopic and thermal effects are evaluated by means of hygroscopic and thermal load applications, respectively. Such loads can be determined via a priori linear or constant moisture content and temperature profiles through the thickness of the plate, or by calculating them via the solution of the Fick moisture diffusion law and the More >

Abstract Large structural problems with high precision and complexity require a high-performance computation using the efficient parallel algorithm. The purpose of this paper is to present the parallel performance of thermal-structural coupled analysis tested on a parallel cluster system. In the coupled analysis, the heat transfer analysis is carried out, and then the structural analysis is performed based on temperature distribution. For the automatic and efficient connection of two parallel analysis modules, the several communication patterns were studied. The parallel performance was demonstrated for the sample and the real application problems, such as a laminated composite More >

Abstract A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is applied to solve problems of Reissner-Mindlin shells under thermal loading. Both stationary and thermal shock loads are analyzed here. Functionally graded materials with a continuous variation of properties in the shell thickness direction are considered here. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations in the Reissner-Mindlin theory is transformed into local integral equations on local subdomains in the base plane of the shell by using a unit test function. Nodal points are randomly spread on the surface of the plate and each node is surrounded by More >

Abstract A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed for the solution of boundary value problems for coupled thermo-electro-mechanical fields. Transient dynamic governing equations are considered here. To eliminate the time-dependence in these equations, the Laplace-transform technique is applied. Material properties of piezoelectric materials are influenced by a thermal field. It is leading to an induced nonhomogeneity and the governing equations are more complicated than in a homogeneous counterpart. Two-dimensional analyzed domain is subdivided into small circular subdomains surrounding nodes randomly spread over the whole domain. A unit step function is used as More >
