Modeling the Temperature Dependence of Tertiary Creep Damage of a Ni-Based Alloy Modeling the Temperature Dependence of Tertiary Creep Damage of a Ni-Based Alloy To capture the mechanical response of Ni-based materials, creep deformation and rup- ture experiments are typically performed. Long term tests, mimicking service conditions at 10,000 h or more, are generally avoided due to expense. Phenomenological models such as the classical Kachanov–Rabotnov (Rabotnov, 1969, Creep Problems in Struc- Calvin M.

Creep deformation and rupture experiments are conducted on IN617 a polycrystalline Department of Mechanical, Materials, and Ni-based alloy over a range of temperatures and applied stresses. The continuum damage Aerospace Engineering, model is extended to account for temperature dependence. This allows the modeling of University of Central Florida, creep deformation at temperatures between available creep rupture data and the design Orlando, FL 32816-2450 of full-scale parts containing temperature distributions. Implementation of the Hayhurst (1983, “On the Role of Continuum Damage on Structural Mechanics,” in Engineering Approaches to High Temperature Design, Pineridge, Swansea, pp. 85–176) (tri-axial) stress formulation introduces tensile/compressive asymmetry to the model. This allows compressive loading to be considered for compression loaded gas turbine components such as transition pieces. A new dominant deformation approach is provided to predict the dominant creep mode over time. This leads to development of a new methodology for determining the creep stage and strain of parametric stress and temperature simulations over time. ͓DOI: 10.1115/1.3148086͔ Keywords: gas turbine, tertiary creep damage, IN617, Ni-based alloy, constitutive model, tensile/compressive asymmetry 1 Introduction strain history and component life estimates of limited accuracy.

  • Thermal Shock
    TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS Thermal Shock Objective: To illustrate thermal expansion and thermal shock. Background Information: In physics, thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in volume or pressure when heated. For liquids and solids, the amount of expansion will normally vary depending on the material’s coefficient of thermal expansion. When materials contract, tensile forces are created. When things expand, compressive forces are created. Thermal shock is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. From the laboratory standpoint, there are three main types of glass used today: borosilicate, quartz, and soda lime or flint glass. Borosilicate glass is made to withstand thermal shock better than most other glass through a combination of reduced expansion coefficient and greater strength, though fused quartz outperforms it in both respects. Some glass-ceramic materials include a controlled proportion of material with a negative expansion coefficient, so that the overall coefficient can be reduced to almost exactly zero over a reasonably wide range of temperatures. Improving the shock resistance of glass and ceramics can be achieved by improving the strength of the materials or by reducing its tendency to uneven expansion. One example of success in this area is Pyrex, the brand name that is well known to most consumers as cookware, but which is also used to manufacture laboratory glassware. Pyrex traditionally is made with a borosilicate glass with the addition of boron, which prevents shock by reducing the tendency of glass to expand. Demo description: Three different types of glass rods will be heated so that students can observe the amount of thermal shock that occurs.

So, in order to study the actual situation in its service process, a temperature-dependent thermal shock resistance model for ultra-high temperature ceramics considering the effects of the thermal environment and external constraint was established based on the existing theory. The present work mainly focused on the adjustment of the stress reduction factor according to different thermal shock situations. The influences of external constraint on both critical rupture temperature difference and the second thermal shock resistance parameter in either case of rapid heating or cooling conditions had been studied based on this model.

Shariyat * Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, K.N. Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, Iran Received 7 June 2007; received in revised form 14 December 2007 Available online 28 December 2007 Abstract FGM components are constructed to sustain high temperature gradients. There are many applications where the FGM components are vulnerable to transient thermal shocks. If a component is already under compressive external loads (e.g. under a combination of axial compression and external pressure), the mentioned thermal shocks will cause the component to exhibit dynamic behavior and in some cases may lead to buckling. On the other hand, a preheated FGM component may undergo dynamic mechanical loads. Only static thermal buckling investigations were developed so far for the FGM shells. In the present paper, dynamic buckling of a pre-stressed, suddenly heated imperfect FGM cylindrical shell and dynamic buckling of a mechanically loaded imperfect FGM cylindrical shell in thermal environment, with temperature- dependent properties are presented. The general form of Green’s strain tensor in curvilinear coordinates and a high order shell theory proposed already by the author are used. Instead of using semi-analytical solutions that rely on the validity of the separation of variables concept, the complicated nonlinear governing equations are solved using the finite element method.

It has extensive domestic and industrial applications. Extensive technical literature is available on heat exchanger design, operation and maintenance, but it is widely scattered throughout the industrial bulletins, industrial design codes and standard, technical journals, etc. The purpose of this book chapter is to consolidate into basic background and concepts design of heat exchangers, operation, cleaning and green technology maintenance on heat exchanger closely related to the industrial practices. Keywords: heat exchanger, fouling, fouling mitigation, green technology, cleaning of heat exchangers 1. Introduction Heat exchanger plays an important role in industrial application. It is implemented for the purposes of heating and cooling of large-scale industrial process fluids [1]. Heat exchanger is a dynamic design which can be customized to suit any industrial process depending on the temperature, pressure, type of fluid, phase flow, density, chemical composition, viscosity and many other thermodynamic properties [2, 3]. Due to global energy crisis, an efficient heat recovery or dissipation of heat has become a vital challenge for Scientists and Engineers [4].

The primary objective of the research is the further development of simulation methods applied in safety evaluations of nuclear power plant components. In this context the modeling of crack initiation and growth inside the material structure induced by varying thermal loads are of particular interest. Therefore, three scientific working groups organized in three sub-projects of the joint research project are dealing with numerical modeling and simulation at different levels ranging from atomistic to micromechanics and continuum mechanics, and in addition corresponding experimental data for the validation of the numerical results and identification of the parameters of the associated material models are provided. The present contribution is focused on the development and experimental validation of material models and methods to characterize the damage evolution and the life cycle assessment as a result of thermal cyclic loading.
