Abstract In this contribution, we attempt to optimize the heat process of a gear. The goal is to evaluate the best use of two frequencies to complete the heating phase in the least amount of time achieving a uniform distribution of temperature in the treated area of the gear. Assuming the application of the appropriate cooling, this temperature distribution will lead to the appropriate hardness along and between the teeth of the gear. A 3D model of part of the gear wheel is modelled in a multiphysics magneto-thermal analysis. The two frequencies used for the heating are first evaluated. In the optimization process, the duration of the application for each frequency is a parameter. Temperatures are evaluated through the heating process at selected locations as constraints of the optimization process.

Hysteretic Loss

Numerical simulation of automotive tires is still a challenging problem due to their complex geometry and structures, as well as the non-uniform loading and operating conditions. Hysteretic loss and rolling resistance are the most crucial features of tire design for engineers. A decoupled numerical model was proposed to predict hysteretic loss and temperature distribution in a tire, however temperature dependent material properties being utilized only during the heat generation analysis stage. Cyclic change of strain energy values was extracted from 3-D deformation analysis, which was further used in a thermal analysis as input to predict temperature distribution and thermal heat generation due to hysteretic loss. This method was compared with the decoupled model where temperature dependence was ignored in both deformation and thermal analysis stages. Deformation analysis results were compared with experimental data available. The proposed method of numerical modeling was quite accurate and results were found to be close to the actual tire behavior. It was shown that one-way-coupled method provides rolling resistance and peak temperature values that are in agreement with experimental values as well.

Thermal analysis and thermal management of lithium-ion batteries for utilization in electric vehicles is vital. In order to investigate the thermal behavior of a lithium-ion battery, a liquid cooling design is demonstrated in this research. The influence of cooling direction and conduit distribution on the thermal performance of the lithium-ion battery is analyzed. The outcomes exhibit that the appropriate flow rate for heat dissipation is dependent on different configurations for cold plate. The acceptable heat dissipation condition could be acquired by adding more cooling conduits. Moreover, it was distinguished that satisfactory cooling direction could efficiently enhance the homogeneity of temperature distribution of the lithium-ion battery.

Aiming at improving the food quality during microwave process, this article mainly focused on the numerical simulation of shape effect, which was evaluated by microwave power absorption capability and temperature distribution uniformity in a single sample heated in a domestic microwave oven. This article only took the electromagnetic field and heat conduction in solid into consideration. The Maxwell equations were used to calculate the distribution of microwave electromagnetic field distribution in the microwave cavity and samples; then the electromagnetic energy was coupled as the heat source in the heat conduction process in samples. Quantitatively, the power absorption capability and temperature distribution uniformity were, respectively, described by power absorption efficiency (PAE) and the statistical variation of coefficient (COV). In addition, we defined the comprehensive evaluation coefficient (CEC) to describe the usability of a specific sample. In accordance with volume or the wave numbers and penetration numbers in the radial and axial directions of samples, they can be classified into different groups. And according to the PAE, COV, and CEC value and the specific need of microwave process, an optimal sample shape and orientation could be decided.

During the last few years various experimental destructive and non-destructive methods were developed to evaluate residual stresses. However it is impossible to obtain a full residual stress distribution in welded structures by means of experimental methods. This disadvantage can be solved by means of computational analysis which allows to determine the whole stress and strain fields in complex structures. In this paper the temperature distribution and residual stresses were determined in a single-pass butt joint welded by GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) process by finite element model (FEM). A 3D finite parametric element model has been carried out to analyze temperature distribution in butt weld joints and thermo-mechanical analyses were performed to evaluate resulting residual stresses. Temperature fields have been investigated by varying an initial preheating treatment. Moreover the technique of “element birth and death” was adopted to simulate the process of filler metal addition The high stresses were evaluated, with particular regard to fusion zone and heat affected zone. The influence of preheating and post-heating treatment on residual stresses was investigated. The residual stresses decrease when preheating temperature increases. The maximum value of longitudinal residual stresses without pre-heating can be reduced about 12% and 38% by using the preheating and post-heating process respectively.

Abstract This paper presents the coupled thermal and structural analysis of the rotating components of the generator using ABAQUS finite element solver. The interference between shaft and rotor is optimized to have a positive contact pressure and also minimize the stresses in the laminate at all operating speeds. Thermal analysis is performed to simulate the temperature distribution arising from the heat losses of generator. The flow path of the coolant is designed through the shaft to minimise the temperature rise of the generator. The resulting changes in the contact pressure between laminated disc and shaft is computed using sequentially coupled thermal and structural analysis. The thermal stresses of rotor are computed estimated and the design is optimized for transmitting torque at different operating speeds.

In order to uncover the external manifestations of TSV internal defects, the finite element models of typical internal defects, which were filling missing, axial cavity and end cavity, were established. The thermal analysis was carried out using thermoelectric coupling method. The temperature distribution of TSV with and without defects were obtained. And the temperature variation profiles on the defined paths of TSV layer were also analyzed. The analysis indicated that all the defective TSV showed distinct temperature distribution with the defect-free TSV. Among three typical defects, TSV with filling missing showed the most obvious difference on the temperature distribution and path variation. TSV with end cavity has relatively weak affect and the slightest defect was TSV with axial cavity. Therefore, it could be seen that the external temperature difference caused by the internal defects of TSV could provide effective information for the identification and detection in TSV with internal defects.

Irradiation of sea-foods is carried out in a marine products irradiator. During the radiation processing, it is required to maintain the product temperature within very narrow temperature limits. A transient thermal analysis of the irradiator (when in use) was carried out to determine the chilled air temperature and velocity required to maintain the product temperature within the specified range. In order to transport the irradiator cask with its contents, it is enclosed in an outer enclosure. The transportation cask is required to satisfy regulations pertaining to temperature distribution in various constituents. A transient thermal analysis of the transportation cask was carried out to determine the temperature distribution under normal and accident conditions (800°C external fire).
