Electric-Thermo-Mechanical Analysis of Joule Heating in Dilatometric Specimens

Temporal dynamics of Joule heating and DC-electric field acceleration in single flare loop

Pulsating and explosive time profiles of mm-wave solar bursts observed at Metsähovi are examined in terms of the energy release in a single current-carrying loop. We suppose that the electric current in the loop is driven by photospheric convective flows. The flare occurs due to flute instability provoking the penetration of partially ionized plasma from the chromosphere or prominence into the ...

Joule heating in single-walled carbon nanotubes

Joule heating in single-walled carbon nanotubes CNTs using a quantum mechanical approach is presented in this paper. The modeling is based on the energy transfer between the electrons and both acoustic and optical phonons. In this formulation, only the knowledge of the full energy dispersion relation, phonon dispersion relation, and the electron-phonon coupling potential is required for the cal...

Picosecond Joule heating in photoconductive switch electrodes

Thermo-mechanical analysis of a coated cylinder head

This paper presents finite element analysis (FEA) of a coated and uncoated cylinder heads of a diesel engine to examine the distribution of temperature and stress. A thermal barrier coating system was applied on the combustion chamber of the cylinder heads, consists of two-layer systems: a ceramic top coat (TC), made of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), ZrO2-8%Y2O3 and also a metallic bond coat...

Dilatometric and Hardness Analysis of C45 Steel Tempering with Different Heating-up Rates

Modelling of technological processes of heat treatment or welding, involving multiple heat source transitions, requires considering the phenomenon of tempering. In work have been presented results of dilatometric research of hardened C45 steel subjected to tempering. The analysis of the infl uence of heating rate at the kinetic determined from dilatometric curves has been made. There have also ...
