Thermal stress analysis

Mechanical stress analysis, treated earlier in this chapter, does not suffice for analysis of laminates that have been cured at temperatures different from the design operating temperature. In such cases, thermal stresses arise and must be accounted for. The concepts of mechanical stress analysis will be reiterated in this section along with the necessary modifications for thermal stress analysis.

Thermal stress calculations in the five cell stack for the temperature distribution presented above were performed by Vallum (2005) using the solid modeling software ANSYS . The stack is modeled to be consisting of five cells with one air channel and gas channel in each cell. Two dimensional stress modeling was performed at six different cross-sections of the cell. The temperature in each layer obtained from the above model of Burt et al. (2005) is used as the nodal value at a single point in the corresponding layer of the model developed in ANSYS and steady state thermal analysis is done in ANSYS to re-construct a two-dimensional temperature distribution in each of the cross-sections. The reconstructed two dimensional temperature is then used for thermal stress analysis. The boundary conditions applied for calculations presented here are the bottom of the cell is fixed in v-dircction (stack direction), the node on the bottom left is fixed in x-direction (cross flow direction) and y-direction and the top part is left free to...

A computational design procedure of a thermoelectric power device using Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) is presented. A model of thermoelectric materials is presented for transport properties of heavily doped semiconductors, electron and phonon transport coefficients are calculated using band theory. And, a procedure of an elastic thermal stress analysis is presented on a functionally graded thermoelectric device by two-dimensional finite element technique. First, temperature distributions are calculated by two-dimensional non-linear finite element method based on expressions of thermoelectric phenomenon. Next, using temperature distributions, thermal stress distributions are computed by two-dimensional elastic finite element analysis.

From the thermal stress analysis results for Bi2Te3 thermoelectric device, it was shown that the maximum thermal stresses were concentrated at the interface between the electrode and the ceramic insulator. And, the FGM electrode can be effect the 30% decrease for thermal stress. 

With respect to the W-type radiant tube used in the above noted comparative test, stress analysis was carried out in order to investigate the mechanical strength of the radiant tube. The method adopted is a Three Dimensional Elastic Stress Analysis using FEM ANSYS version 9, where the self-weight, measured temperature profile and assumed tube inside pressure at extraordinary combustion are considered. In the thermal stress analysis the measured tube surface temperature at 20 points, which seems to be timely, steady state was used as a smooth temperature curve over the measuring...

The properties required for thermal stress analysis Included Young s modulus, Poisson s ratio, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient and specific heat. The CARES analysis requires strength data (from which the Weibull parameters are calculated) and Poisson s ratio. Fracture toughness was also measured. Although this parameter is not required for the fast fracture prediction made by CARES, it 1s used in life-time prediction and is related to the properties used in the reliability analysis. Strength measurements, which are the basis of reliability predictions, are controlled by both the size of flaws inherent in ceramic materials and the fracture toughness. Toughness represents the ability of a material to tolerate flaws. 

Determining the appropriate as-dispensed thickness and width of the sealant and developing an application process that consistently achieves this target. Thermal stress analysis can be used to determine optimal as-formed seal thickness for transient and steady-state operation. To retain this seal thickness over the lifetime of the stack, a small concentration of insoluble, monosize particulate can be incorporated into the sealant to achieve a minimum stand-off distance, for example, between the cell and window frame.

Each of these techniques requires the fabricator to understand the fill material compatibility with their base laminate system and plating processes. Typically, process compatibihty can be screened with a simple solder-float thermal stress analysis and cross section. 

Since the formation of maincrack could be observed at the AE increasing point, it is understood that the remarkable increase in AE corresponds to the main-crack formation due to microdamage accumulation. Then the critical stress for maincrack formation during thermal shock fracture, oth, can be determined by Disk-on-Rod test. Those values ranged from 220 to 330 MPa. The instantaneous crack path was not determined definitely because of its high growth velocity. Therefore, the thermal stress analysis is no longer valid after maincrack formation because the crack path could not be introduced into finite element models.
