The mechanical failure of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) components may cause cracks with consequences such as gas leakage, structure instability and reduction of cell lifetime. A comprehensive 3D model of the thermal stresses of an anode-supported planar SOFC is presented in this work. The main objective of this paper is to get an interconnect optimized design by evaluating the thermal stresses ...

This Report describe8 how the stresses in a wind tunnel corner section were investigated by means of a l/6 scale model. Roth the brittle coating technique and elevated temperature strain gauge8 were employed. lko separate tests were performed in which It was attempted to slmlate the thermal stresses and the pressure stresses respectively. Methods of overcoming 8ome interesting experimental prob...

Analyses of the effects of service conditions on the distribution of residual stresses in railroad commuter car wheels are presented. Novel software has been applied to estimate the effects of service conditions on the as-manufactured state of these wheels. Contact loads resulting from wheel and rail interaction and thermal loads from on-tread braking are considered. Results indicate that conta...
