Due to the complexity of hot stamping mechanism, including the coupling of material formability, thermal interaction and metallurgical microstructure, it makes the process design more difficult even with the aid of the finite element analysis. In the present study, the experimental platforms were developed to measure and derive the friction and heat transfer coefficients, respectively. The experiments at various elevated temperatures and contact pressures were conducted and the friction coefficients and heat transfer coefficients were obtained. A finite element model was also established with the experimental data and the material properties of the boron steel calculated from the JMatPro software. The finite element simulations for the hot stamping forming of an automotive door beam, including transportation analysis, hot forming analysis and die quenching analysis were then performed to examine the forming properties of the door beam. The validation of the finite element results by the production part confirms the efficiency and accuracy of the developed experimental platforms and the finite element analysis for the process design of hot stamping.

The brakes of an automobile are among the most critical components regarding the safety features, and disc brakes are the most common type used in passenger vehicles. In this research, the squeal phenomena of a swirl-vent brake rotor and the thermal analysis of two straight-vent brake rotors, made of cast-iron and aluminum-alloy, are investigated. For the squeal analysis, finite element models are created and analyzed using a prestressed modal analysis with complex eigen-solutions. For the thermal analysis, heat transfer coefficients on the surfaces of a rotor as functions of time are first estimated by CFD simulation, and then imported to a thermal analysis program as the boundary condition. Finally, the temperature distribution of the rotor can be calculated by finite element analysis. The simulation results show that vortices will arise in the vented passages of straight-vent rotors, which means less heat carried away and lower heat transfer coefficients. The swirl-vent brake design is clearly better for thermal ventilation. Furthermore, under the same condition, aluminum-alloy rotors exhibit more uniform temperature distributions with smaller temperature gradients than cast-iron rotors do.

This paper primarily simulates the heat exchange part’s stress and strain situation under the load of temperature and gravity and their coupling impact aiming at obtaining the stress and deformation distribution. The authors took advantage of the method of the finite element analysis to study the stress and strain situation. Through the analysis, each part of the transfer’s stress and strain can be calculated. The conclusion of this paper provides the basis for the further enhancement of the machine life and optimization of the structure design.

Heat is transferred between the fluid and the surroundings in the wellbore. Quantitative knowledge of wellbore heat transfer is important in drilling and production operations. A new model of wellbore heat transfer using finite element analysis is developed in this study. This solution assumes the heat transfer in the wellbore is steady state and only happens in radial direction. The model considers heat gained due to wellbore pressure loss in circulation, which is more accurate in temperature calculation. The overall heat resistance in the wellbore is analyzed, taking into account the film heat transfer coefficients difference between the tube and the annulus. Previous literature has been reviewed to determine the correlation which can be used in the model.

For the analysis of cooling effect, the cutting inserts were heated to 900°C and then exposed in the room-air and cold-air with different pressure respectively. The temperature variation were recorded by infra-red (IR) pyrometer. The temperature-dependent global heat transfer coefficients were estimated by the theoretical analysis and experimental data. The finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to simulate the cooling process and modify the estimated heat transfer coefficients. The heat transfer coefficients decreased from 55.1 W/m2•°C (800°C) to 9.32 W/m2•°C (350°C) in the natural cooling and approximately 300 W/m2•°C (600°C) to 60 W/m2•°C (300°C) in the cold-air cooling. Cold-air cooling greatly increased the heat transfer coefficients, but it seemed the air pressure had little pressure on the heat transfer coefficients.

In this study, the optical sphere and the power analyzer were exploited to measure the optical and power parameters for the high-power LED lamps. The results, derived from the experimental data, were used as the power distribution inputs in the finite element analysis (FEA) for the determination of the temperature distribution for the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) built in the LED lamp. In the finite element analysis, the conjugate heat transfer model was adapted for the calculation of the heat transfer, including thermal conductivity, convection and radiation. Applied on the power chips located on the PCBA, the graphene thermal interface material (TIMs) had been studied for its effects on the temperature distribution. For an accurate simulation about the LED lamp, the model with closed and compact space was built in the analysis. Compared to the experimental data, it showed that the simulation results had a deviation in the range of 3–5% around the main heating source, the light-emitting diodes. It proves the FEA model proposed in this study were well developed for the simulation of the temperature distribution for the high-power LED lamps which have mixed heat transfer mechanisms. The thermal radiation effects by TIMs with graphene were also investigated in this study and proven to be useful for the heat dissipation for the LED lamps.
