Piezoelectric stack actuators (PESAs) are widely used in applications requiring a fast response, high resolution, and high accuracy. The self-heating of a PESA during continuous drive with a large amplitude at high frequencies can change its voltage displacement and charge displacement characteristics. These changes can lead to a loss of stability and inaccurate PESA positioning systems. In this paper, we confirmed that by using our proposed forced liquid cooling, the changes to the dynamic characteristics and the impedance of a PESA due to the fact of self-heating could be reduced. Voltage displacement curve measurements at 10 kHz demonstrated that with natural heat dissipation, the amplitude of PESA increased by 15% due to the self-heating compared to the amplitude measured at the start of driving but only by 3% with forced liquid cooling. The displacement-to-charge ratio decreased by 12% compared to that at room temperature with natural heat dissipation, while it increased by 1% during forced liquid cooling. In the measured frequency response of the voltage displacement transfer function, the increased temperature changed the gain and phase of the first and secondary vibration modes above 20 kHz with natural heat dissipation. Forced liquid cooling also reduced the variations in the frequency response of the voltage displacement transfer function.

AbstractElastomeric components such as car bearings and vibration dampers are subjected to dynamic loads with various amplitudes and loading directions during operation. To better understand the lifetime expectancy of these components it is required to implement a material model that sufficiently accounts for the material thermo-mechanical behaviour. This paper implements a finite viscoelastic model which includes heat dissipation and addresses the effect of inelasticity on the self-heating and the applied loading conditions. The material model is implemented in a user subroutine and finite element calculations are carried out on a simple shear loading with rotating directions. The self-heating effect and the resulting variation of the dissipation induced forces are shown and discussed. With the aid of the presented material model, thermo-mechanically coupled simulations can be performed. Based on the results, the required loading limits and boundary conditions for the mechanical fatigue tests can be defined to minimise the thermal fatigue effects.

Effect Transistor

In this study, we propose an omega-shaped-gate nanowire field effect transistor (ONWFET) with a silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) substrate. In order to investigate improvements in the self-heating characteristic with the use of a SOS substrate, the lattice temperature is examined using a Synopsys Sentaurus 3D Technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulator with the results compared to those with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. To validate the proposed structure with the SOS substrate, the locations of hot spots and heat dissipation paths (heat sinks) depending on the substrate materials are also analyzed. The electrical characteristics, specifically the on-current (Ion), off-current (Ioff), and subthreshold swing (SS), were investigated as well. Hence, it is demonstrated here that incorporating a SOS substrate can improve both the self-heating characteristic and the SS at the same time. Therefore, enhanced logic devices are feasible if using an ONWFET with a SOS substrate. Examples include wearable devices and military and future aerospace applications achieved by the radiation-resistant material Al2O3 that has high thermal conductivity.

In this study, CNTs and graphite have been incorporated to provide electrical conductivity and self-heating capacity by Joule effect to an epoxy matrix. Additionally, both types of fillers, with different morphology, surface area and aspect ratio, were simultaneously incorporated (hybrid CNTs and graphite addition) into the same epoxy matrix to evaluate the effect of the self-heating capacity of carbon materials-based resins on de-icing and ice-prevention capacity. The self-heating capacity by Joule effect and the thermal conductivity of the differently filled epoxy resin were evaluated for heating applications at room temperature and at low temperatures for de-icing and ice-prevention applications. The results show that the higher aspect ratio of the CNTs determined the higher electrical conductivity of the epoxy resin compared to that of the epoxy resin filled with graphite, but the 2D morphology of graphite produced the higher thermal conductivity of the filled epoxy resin. The presence of graphite enhanced the thermal stability of the filled epoxy resin, helping avoid its deformation produced by the softening of the epoxy resin (the higher the thermal conductivity, the higher the heat dissipation), but did not contribute to the self-heating by Joule effect. On the other hand, the feasibility of electrically conductive epoxy resins for de-icing and ice-prevention applications by Joule effect was demonstrated.

When a coal stockpile is stored in the presence of air, slow oxidation of the carbonaceous materials occurs and heat is released. If the rate of heat generation within the stockpile is greater than the rate of heat dissipation and transportation to the external environment, the self-heating of the coal stockpile ensues. The self-heating of coal stockpiles has a long history of posing significant problems to coal producers because it lowers the quality of coal and may result in hazardous thermal runaway. Precise prediction of the self-heating process is, therefore, necessary in order to identify and evaluate control measures and strategies for safe coal mining, storage and transportation. Such a prediction requires an accurate estimate of the various processes associated with the self-heating which are impossible unless the appropriate phenomenological coefficients are known. This note is to present a simple approach to determine the effective thermal conductivity of a granular porous medium such as a coal stockpile.

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.
