A thermal elastic-plastic stress analysis is carried out on steel fiber reinforced aluminum metal-matrix composite arch under uniform temperature distribution. The arch is fixed at both ends. The composite material is assumed to be strain hardening linearly. First yielding temperature, thermal residual stresses and the distribution of these stresses under thermal loading are investigated by usi...

Direct metal SLS processes use a high power laser beam to selectively fuse fully metallic powder to directly produce functional metal components or tooling. As a thermal dynamic process, it inevitably causes thermal stresses, stress-induced deformations and cracking. Understanding these is very important in controlling residual stresses and stress-induced deformations. In this research, the res...

This paper deals with the simulation of power electronic components. More precisely it is focused on the modeling approach to emphasize the electro-thermomechanical behavior of materials in power electronics assembly (electronic package). Thermal strains and Stresses constitute an important part of the design considerations for many practical engineering problems. They become especially critica...

The present article deals with the analysis of thermal-bending stresses in a heated thin annular sector plate with simply supported boundary condition under transient temperature distribution using Berger’s approximate methods. The sectional heat supply is on the top face of the plate whereas the bottom face is kept at zero temperature. In this study, the solution of heat conduction is obtained...
