Design Deficiencies

CFD, FEA, and experimental testing have been combined in order to investigate the lifetime limiting design deficiencies of a turbine wheel in a turbo charger. Thermocouples have been applied to the same radial turbine wheel to provide boundary conditions and validation data for the simulations. The tests have been performed on a turbocharger gas-stand. Based on two steady state CHT-calculations for two distinctly different operating points the heating process of the wheel has been simulated in a transient temperature calculation. Since the resulting temperature gradients induce thermal stresses, the temperature distribution serves as a boundary condition for the subsequent structural analysis. To obtain realistic stress distributions, centrifugal forces also need to be accounted for. In this way, the influence of the thermal stress on the overall stress can be evaluated.

Abstract Rapid temperature change in components of the sliding systems induces thermal stresses due to thermal expansion. This effect is particularly evident in disc brakes working under high thermal loads. This paper deals with the finite element modelling of frictional heating process in disc brakes and clutches to study the temperature and stress distributions during operation

Transient Operations

Due to increasing demands on the efficiency of modern Otto and Diesel engines, turbochargers are subjected to higher temperatures. In consequence rotor speed and temperature gradients in transient operations are more severe and therefore thermal and centrifugal stresses increase. To determine the life cycle of turbochargers more precisely, the exact knowledge of the transient temperature distribution in the turbine wheel is essential. To assess these temperature distributions, experimental and numerical investigations on a turbocharger of a commercial vehicle were performed. For this purpose, four thermocouples were applied on the shaft and the turbine wheel. The measured temperatures are used to determine the boundary conditions for the numerical calculations and to validate the results. In the numerical investigations three methods are used to determine and to analyse the transient solid body temperature distribution in respect of the fluid. The methods are compared and evaluated using the measured data. Based on the calculations the transient temperature field is discussed and conclusions concerning to the thermal stresses are drawn.

Transient temperature and stress distributions are analytically and experimentally investigated for a butt welded plate of HT36-steel. A two-dimensional thermal FE-model is shown to represent the temperature distribution sufficiently well in a considered case of submerged-arc welding where a high welding speed is used. A two-dimensional mechanical FE-model is used to find the transient stress pattern. The theoretically and experimentally obtained residual stress distributions show some discrepancies which are believed to be due to Bauschinger effects not considered here.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a method of determining the transient temperature of the inner surface of thick-walled elements. The method can be used to determine thermal stresses in pressure elements. Design/methodology/approach An inverse marching method is proposed to determine the transient temperature of the thick-walled element inner surface with high accuracy. Findings Initially, the inverse method was validated computationally. The comparison between the temperatures obtained from the solution for the direct heat conduction problem and the results obtained by means of the proposed inverse method is very satisfactory. Subsequently, the presented method was validated using experimental data. The results obtained from the inverse calculations also gave good results. Originality/value The advantage of the method is the possibility of determining the heat transfer coefficient at a point on the exposed surface based on the local temperature distribution measured on the insulated outer surface. The heat transfer coefficient determined experimentally can be used to calculate thermal stresses in elements with a complex shape. The proposed method can be used in online computer systems to monitor temperature and thermal stresses in thick-walled pressure components because the computing time is very short.

A numerical solution is presented for both the transient temperature and three-dimensional stress distribution in a railcar wheel resulting from a simulated emergency brake application. A computer program has been written for generating thermoelastic solutions applicable to wheels of arbitrary contour with temperature variations in both axial and radial directions. The results include the effect of shear stresses caused by the axial-radial temperature gradients and the high degree of boundary irregularity associated with this type of problem. The program has been validated by computing thermoelastic solutions for thin disks and long cylinders; the computed values being in good agreement with the closed form solutions. Currently, the computer program is being extended to general stress solutions corresponding to the transient temperature distributions obtained by simulated drag brake applications. When this work is completed, it will be possible to synthesize the thermal history of a railcar wheel and investigate the effects of wheel geometry in relation to thermal fatigue.

The Impact

In this paper, a coupled numerical model of three-dimensional transient temperature field and degree of cure field for resin matrix composite curing process was developed. Using this model the hot-press curing process of the plate-shaped composite parts were simulated with considering the impact of tools and auxiliary materials. Thus, the temperature and degree of cure fields distribution in the entire process cycle were obtained. Numerical results show that the curing of the composite has a certain sequence. At the beginning, the composite is first curing at the boundary and gradually to the center. At the end stage, because of the higher curing rate, the center released a large amount of heat which makes the boundary curing simultaneously with center. In addition, there is a significant exothermic peak during the curing process. And the peak temperature is higher when it was closer to the center. This research effectively provides reference for optimizing the heating process parameters to improve product quality.

Residual Stress And Deformation

Line heating is an important plate bending process that has been adopted in shipyards for more than 60 years. This paper presents the results of a numerical and experimental study on the residual deformation and stress distribution in the plate forming process using the line heating method. In this paper, a finite element model was used to simulate the heating process, and the model was validated using experimental results. The model was then used to analyze the deformation and stress distributions in the heating and non-heating region. The impact of line heating and sequence of heating on both sides of a steel plate was discussed. The findings of the study show that the compression stress generated help to increase the shrinkage of line heating process. This study presents a valuable reference for similar thermal process.
