Thermal Analysis of Concrete Structures with Pipe-Cooling System by a New Algorithm

In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm to calculate the temperature field of concrete structures with pipe-cooling system. As we know, the pretreatment of pipe model is hard and the calculation will be time-consuming. However, in this algorithm, the computing information of pipes will be included in the exist nodes of elements, so the workload of pretreatment would be reduced. Meanwhile, the finite element method (FEM) format and the formula of water temperature along pipe have been established in this paper. Iteration was not required in this method, so the computing speed will be improved too. An example has shown that this algorithm can response temperature gradient near the pipe and have good efficiency to calculate temperature field of concrete structures with pipe-cooling system.

Numerical Simulation of Hot Stamping of Front Bumper

LS-DYNA software was adopted to conduct research of numerical simulation on hot stamping of front bumper to calculate the temperature field distribution, stress field distribution, FLD figure and etc. of parts in the course of hot stamping so as to predict and analyze the formability of parts. ProCAST software was employed to conduct research of numerical simulation on solid quenching course concerning hot stamping to calculate temperature field distribution of tools and component of multiple stamping cycles; Based on the simulation,the hot stamping mould was developed,and the front bumper components of hot forming were stamped, Compared the test results with the simulation, both the results coincide basically with same variation trend .Results obtain from numerical simulation can provide significant reference value to hot stamping part design, formability predication and tools cooling channel system design.

Study on Unsteady Temperature Field of Diesel Engine Piston

The paper took the piston of 620 single-cylinder engine as an example,a finite element model of piston was built with the help of ANSYS software. Than to calculate temperature field and and quick cold start conditions respectively[1]. Through the periodic transient thermal analysis, temperature fluctuations on the surface of the piston were derived, which indicated that the surface contacted with gas was the main temperature fluctuation area. The max temperature fluctuation can be up to 20 ° C and the wild fluctuation occurred in a distance of 2 mm from the surface of the piston. Temperatures of the piston went up according to exponential rule during the course of quick cold start, Extreme temperature fluctuations will generate huge quasi-static thermal stress.
