A general method is presented for obtaining the elastoplastic stress and strain distributions in a thermally stressed plate of a strain-hardening material with temperature-varying modulus, yield point, and coefficient of thermal expansion. It is shown that for linear strain-hardening the solution can often be obtained in closed form. It is indicated that the error due to neglecting strain-hardening may sometimes be appreciable. The assumption that the total strain remains the same as that computed elastically (strain invariance) often leads to smaller errors than the neglect of strain-hardening.

Abstract This paper presents the steady-state thermoelasticity solution for a circular solid plate is made of an undrained porous piezoelectric hexagonal material symmetry of class 6 mm. The porosities of the plate vary through the thickness; thus, material properties, except Poisson's ratio, are assumed as exponential functions of axial variable z in cylindrical coordinates. Having axisymmetric general form, external thermal and electrical loads are acted on the plate and the piezothermoelastic behavior of the plate is investigated. Using a full analytical method based on Bessel Fourier's series and separation of variables, the governing partial differential equations are derived. A formulation is given for the displacements, electric potential, thermal stresses, and electric displacements resulting from prescribed the general form of thermal, mechanical, and electric boundary conditions. Finally, the application of the derived formulas is illustrated by an example for a cadmium selenide solid, the results of which are presented graphically. Also, the effects of material property indexes, the porosity, and Skempton coefficients are discussed on the displacements, thermal stresses, electrical potential function, and electric displacements.

Observations of crack damage in the tooth structure from in vivo studies and in vitro experimental thermal cycling studies were combined with numerical analysis techniques to identify and isolate the influence of thermal stresses an the creation and propagation of cracks in teeth. The factors considered in this study included: (a) variations in tooth type or geometry (molar, bicuspid, etc.), (b) tooth age, (c) material properties of the tooth, (d) the magnitude of the change in the temperature of the environment surrounding the tooth, and (e) the thermal resistance between the tooth and the medium surrounding the tooth.

The present work deals with the development of a finite element methodology for obtaining the stress distributions in thick cylindrical HK40 stainless steel pipe that carries high-temperature fluids. The material properties and loading were assumed to be random variables. Thermal stresses that are generated along radial, axial, and tangential directions are generally computed using very complex analytical expressions. To circumvent such an issue, probability theory and mathematical statistics have been applied to many engineering problems, which allows determination of the safety both quantitatively and objectively based on the concepts of reliability. Monte Carlo simulation methodology is used to study the probabilistic characteristics of thermal stresses, and was implemented to estimate the probabilistic distributions of stresses against the variations arising due to material properties and load. A 2-D probabilistic finite element code was developed in MATLAB, and the deterministic solution was compared with ABAQUS solutions. The values of stresses obtained from the variation of elastic modulus were found to be low compared to the case where the load alone was varying. The probability of failure of the pipe structure was predicted against the variations in internal pressure and thermal gradient. These finite element framework developments are useful for the life estimation of piping structures in high-temperature applications and for the subsequent quantification of the uncertainties in loading and material properties.

The plastic collapse pressures of internally pressurized thin torispherical shells are given in the present paper. The influence of both the geometric parameters (i.e., r/D, RS/D and D/t) and the material properties (yield stress σyp and the strain-hardening coefficient) on the plastic collapse pressures were investigated. Both steel and aluminium shells were analyzed and, based on the present parametric study, approximate design equations for calculating the plastic collapse pressures are suggested. The asymmetric buckling pressures, pcr, for torispherical shells (obtained from a companion paper) are also compared with the plastic collapse pressures, pc, to determine which are the lower and, thus, control the mode of failure. In addition, the approximate design equations for pcr and pc are compared with some experimental results on small machined models; the agreement between theory and test was quite good.

The combination of cyclic thermal stresses and sustained internal pressure in a vessel is shown to be a source of progressive expansion of the vessel if the stresses are sufficiently high. Criteria presented allow determination of limits to be imposed on stresses in order to prevent progressive expansion or to allow estimation of the expansion per cycle where stresses are sufficient to produce growth. The effect of strain-hardening of the metal on progressive reduction of the growth rate is discussed.

This study investigates the feasibility of improving the structural integrity of thermoelectric modules (TEMs) with varying geometry. For this purpose, six different TEM models with various thermoelectric leg geometries were designed and modeled in order to perform a thermal stress FEA using ANSYS Workbench. Temperature dependent material properties were used since some properties such as coefficients of thermal expansion change with temperature. Significant decrease in thermal stresses and leg deformations were observed with some models. Particularly, the cylindrical TE leg geometry model has approximately 54% lower Von Mises stresses (294MPa) and 13% lower TE leg deformations (3.9μm) than those of the typical TE leg geometry model (635MPa and 4.5μm). Power generation analyses of the models were performed to evaluate the effect of new TE leg geometries on the performance. TEM model with cylindrical TE leg geometry has the highest power generation (29.3mW) among all the models.

Following the basis of the ASME codes, the major nuclear components are designed to successfully avoid the fatigue failure. However, such design is generally very conservative and it is necessary to accurately assess the fatigue life of the components for the optimal life. The assessment of fatigue damage accumulation due to the thermal transients is currently performed via online fatigue monitoring systems. The algorithms for online calculation of thermal stress are one of the main components of these systems and are often based on the Green function technique (GFT), in which machine parameters such as fluid temperatures, pressures, and flow rates are converted into metal temperature transients and thermal stresses. However, since the GFT is based upon the linear superposition principle, it cannot be directly used when the temperature-dependent material properties are considered. This paper presents a methodology to consider the temperature- dependent material properties using artificial parameter method. Two cases are presented to compare the results calculated from the proposed models with those calculated by finite element method (FEM). It is found that the temperature-dependent material properties have significant influence on the maximum peak stresses which can be accurately captured by the models proposed in this work.
