Piezothermoelastic effects of distributed piezoelectric sensor/actuator and structural systems are studied. Distributed controls (static and dynamic) of piezoelectric laminates subjected to a steady-state temperature field are investigated. Piezothermoelastic constitutive equations are defined, followed by three energy functionals for the displacement, electric, and temperature fields, respectively. A new 3-D piezothermoelastic thin hexahedron finite element with three internal degrees of freedom is formulated using a variational formulation which includes thermal, electric, and mechanical energies. A system equation for the piezoelectric continuum exposed to combined displacement, electric, and temperature fields is formulated. Distributed sensing and control equations of piezoelectric laminates in a temperature field are derived. Thermal influences on the sensing and control of piezoelectric PZT/steel laminates are investigated in case studies.

To study the temperature field changing regulation of hydration heat and control concrete cracks caused by great temperature difference in the construction of hollow-thin pier, testing the temperature field of the high and hollow-thin pier of Cha Jiugou Bridge and it got changing regulation of the temperature. The finite element analysis on the pier was also carried out and the temperature stress contours and curves of the hydration heat of the concrete are obtained. It can be seen that the outer surface and the center of the pier are compressive within 10 hours in the pouring early. With the temperature difference, the center generates the compressive stress, the surface generates tensile stress.

The article has analyzed the changes of temperature of different materials of the spindle, and considered 170SD30 Ceramic Motorized Spindle and the same model Metal Motorized Spindle as the research objects, analyzed the inside heat source and heat transfer mechanism of the high-speed motorized spindle; used finite element software to set up the model of the motorized spindle, and did simulation and analysis. Verified by simulation, heat transfer rate of ceramic materials is slower than the metallic materials, in actual operation of the process, due to different materials have different heat transfer rate, so the temperature distribution of the different materials of motorized spindle are different. This conclusion provides the basis to solve motorized spindle temperature field distribution.

Friction between the guideway and the bench of large-type CNC lathe will cause thermal deformation of the guideway, which causes processing error of the lathe,thereby reduces machining precision of the workpiece. The authors establish the mathematical model of temperature field and thermal deformation of the guideway in the work process, numerically simulate the guideway thermal characteristics by ANSYS finite element analysis software, and obtain the distribution regularities of temperature field and thermal deformation and their major influencing factors, which provide a theoretical basis for optimizing design and thermal error compensation design of the lathe guideway.

The chapter discusses the simulation of thermal operating conditions and the optimization of the design of solar photovoltaic thermal modules. As a realization of the developed method, two photovoltaic thermal modules with one-sided solar cells with one-sided heat removal and two-sided solar cells with two-sided heat removal are presented. The components of the developed models of solar modules must be optimized on the basis of the required indicators of the thermal mode of operation of the modules. For this task, a method has been developed for visualizing thermal processes using the Ansys system of finite element analysis, which has been used to research thermal modes of operation and to optimize the design of the modules created. With the help of the developed method, the temperature fields of the module components, coolant velocity and its flow lines in the developed models of a planar photovoltaic thermal roofing panel and a concentrator photovoltaic thermal two-sided module are visualized.
