the effects of physical, thermal and mechanical parameters on curing microthermal residual stresses are studied, based on the energy method, to present a theoretical solution for prediction of residual stress felds. a fnite element analysis is developed to compare the theoretical and numerical results together. there is found to be a good agreement between the results of the two methods. howeve...

Many researchers content themselves with the 2D simulation of welding process instead of the 3D simulation, because of the time and the cost factors of the latter. In this research, the number of elements and nodes are reduced by an initiative plan (defining an equivalent model) for the simulation of welding. The welding process has been simulated by an uncoupled thermal-mechanical finite eleme...

Background:Thermal stress may have numerous harmful effects on human health. This study aimed at investigating thermal stress in the city of Kerman, Iran. Methods:In this descriptive-analytical study, thermal stress was assessed from 6 AM to 9 PM in 2016 using four thermal stress indices including wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), environmental stress index (...

The hydraulic simulation and structure coupled analysis were used to explore critical heat flux (CHF) margin of the W (tungsten) armour and the accommodation of the thermal stress between the cooling tube and the W armour. The t (wall thickness of the F82H tube) variation or as a constant were considered to analysis the heat removal capability of the cooling tube. It was found a nonlinear distr...
