The change of ambient temperature will cause deformation during the machining process of large-scale aerospace monolithic component. Based on finite element simulation, thermally induced deformation of reinforcing plate is studied in such aspects as reinforcement structure, clamping method and temperature change, and contact function in finite element software is used to simulate the unilateral constraint between workpiece and worktable. The results indicate that reinforcing plate will produce warping deformation due to the change of ambient temperature. Different reinforcement structures and clamping methods have important influence on the deformation positions and degrees, and the deformation is proportional to the temperature change.

Fabric Design

We examine electrically conductive fabrics as conductive heaters for heat-activated soft actuators. We have explored various fabric designs optimized for material properties, heat distribution and actuation/de-actuation characteristics of the soft actuators. We implemented this approach in the silicone/ethanol composite actuators, in which ethanol undergoes a thermally-induced phase change, leading to high actuation stress and strain. Various types of conductive fabrics were tested, and we developed a stretchable kirigami-based fabric design. We demonstrate a fabric heater that is capable of cyclic heating of the actuator to the required 80 °C. The fabric with the special kirigami design can withstand temperatures of up to 195 °C, can consume up to 30 W of power, and allows the actuator to reach >30% linear strain. This technology may be used in various systems involving thermally-induced actuation.

These days fibre-reinforced materials are frequently used in construction sector for example in dams, bridges etc. Also the earth structure and artificial structure made by human may contain irregularity or corrugation, therefore, propagation of waves and vibrations through these structures gets affected by them. Motivated by these facts the present problem aims to study the propagation of torsional surface wave in a fibre-reinforced layer with corrugated boundary surface overlying an initially stressed transversely isotropic half-space. The closed form of the dispersion equation has been deduced and the notable effect of reinforcement, undulatory parameter of corrugated boundary surfaces of the layer, corrugation parameter of upper and lower boundary surfaces of the layer, initial stress acting in half-space and wave number on the phase velocity of torsional surface wave has been exhibited. The numerical computation along with graphical illustration has been carried out for fibre-reinforced layer of carbon fibre-epoxy resin and T300/5208 graphite/epoxy material for the transversely isotropic half-space. As a special case of the problem, deduced dispersion equation is found in well-agreement with the classical Love wave equation. Comparative study for reinforced and reinforced free layer has been performed and also depicted graphically. Moreover some analysis is made to highlight the important peculiarities of the problem.
