Macroscopic hot spots formed due to the large thermal gradients at the surface of the disc brake rotor, make the rotor to fail or wear out early. Thermo-elastic deformation results in contact concentration, leading to the non uniform distribution of temperature making the disc susceptible to hot spot formation. The formation of one hot spot event will predispose the system to future hot spotting at the same location. This leads to the complete thermo-elastic instability in the disc brakes; multitude parameters are responsible for the thermo elastic instability. The predominant factor is the sliding velocity and above a certain sliding velocity the instability of the brake system occurs and hot spots is formed in the surface of the disc brake. Commercial finite element package ABAQUS(R) is used to find the temperature distribution and the result is validated using Rowson's analytical model. A coupled analysis methodology is evolved for the automotive disc brake from the transient thermo-elastic contact analysis. Temperature variation is studied under different sliding speeds within the operation range.

International efforts have focused recently on the development of tungsten surfaces that can intercept energetic ionized and neutral atoms, and heat fluxes in the divertor region of magnetic fusion confinement devices. The combination of transient heating and local swelling due to implanted helium and hydrogen atoms has been experimentally shown to lead to severe surface and sub-surface damage. We present here a computational model to determine the relationship between the thermo-mechanical loading conditions, and the onset of damage and failure of tungsten surfaces. The model is based on thermo-elasticity, coupled with a grain boundary damage mode that includes contact cohesive elements for grain boundary sliding and fracture. This mechanics model is also coupled with a transient heat conduction model for temperature distributions following rapid thermal pulses. Results of the computational model are compared to experiments on tungsten bombarded with energetic helium and deuterium particle fluxes.

A fully coupled thermo-mechanical model is adopted to study the temperature distribution and the material deformation in friction stir welding(FSW) process. Rotational speed is most important parameters in this research. Three dimension results under different process parameters were presented. Result indicate that the maximum temperature is lower than the melting point of the welding material. The higher temperature gradient occurs in the leading side of the workpiece. The maximum temperature can be increased with increasing the tool angular velocity, rpm in the current numerical modeling. In this research ABAQUS Ver.6.7 is to analyze a fully coupled thermo-mechanical model. ALE(Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) finite element formulation is used for the large deformation in FSW process and using the Mass scaling for the analysis time efficiency.

본 연구에서는 FLAC3D가 Opalinus Clay 암반의 열-수리-역학적 복합거동을 재현하고 이를 예측할 수 있는지 그 적용성을 검토하고자 국제공동연구 DECOVALEX-2015에서 참여하였으며, 그 일환으로 스위스 Mont Terri Rock Laboratory에서 수행된 Heater Experiment-D (HE-D)에 대한 모델링을 수행하였다. FLAC3D를 이용한 수치해석의 타당성을 평가하기 위해 현장시험에서 계측된 16 지점의 온도, 6 지점의 공극수압, 그리고 22 지점의 변형률 데이터와 비교하였다. 대상 암반의 열-수리-역학적인 이방성을 고려함으로써 Opalinus Clay 암반의 온도 변화 그리고 온도변화에 따른 공극수압의 변화와 같은 열-수리적 거동은 전반적으로 유사하게 나타났으나, 역학적 거동의 경우 변형률 데이터를 비교했을 때 온도와 공극수압과는 달리 계산된 변형률 일부만이 유사한 거동을 보였다.

The creep and consolidation behaviors of clays subjected to thermal cycles are of fundamental importance in the application of energy geostructures. This study aims to numerically investigate the physical mechanisms for the temperature-triggered volume change of saturated clays. A recently developed thermodynamic framework is used to derive the thermo-mechanical constitutive model for clays. Based on the model, a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) finite element (FE) code is developed. Comparison with experimental observations shows that the proposed FE code can well reproduce the irreversible thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays, as well as the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays under drained heating. Simulations reveal that excess pore pressure may accumulate in clay samples under triaxial drained conditions due to low permeability and high heating rate, resulting in thermally induced primary consolidation. Results show that four major mechanisms contribute to the thermal volume change of clays: (i) the principle of thermal expansion, (ii) the decrease of effective stress due to the accumulation of excess pore pressure, (iii) the thermal creep, and (iv) the thermally induced primary consolidation. The former two mechanisms mainly contribute to the thermal expansion of heavily overconsolidated clays, whereas the latter two contribute to the noticeable thermal contraction of normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated clays. Consideration of the four physical mechanisms is important for the settlement prediction of energy geostructures, especially in soft soils.

동상민감성 지반의 융기 및 침하 방지를 위한 공법을 지반 안정화 공법이라고 하며 열 사이펀은 대표적인 지반 안정화 공법 중 하나이다. 열 사이펀은 최근 간편한 해석모델 개발과 더불어 열 해석이 진행되었지만, 이에 따른 동상민감성 지반의 열적 거동을 고려하지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 열 사이펀의 성능에 따른 지반의 온도 변화를 위한 열 해석과 이에 따른 지반의 거동을 예측하기 위한 구조해석을 동시에 수행하기 위해 ABAQUS 내부 사용자 서브루틴을 사용하여 열 사이펀을 적용한 TM(Thermo-Mechanical) 모델을 개발하여 열 사이펀의 성능에 따른 지반 융기 억제성능을 확인하였다. 해석결과 열 사이펀의 성능 증가에 따라 지반의 최종 융기가 감소하였으며 냉매 충전율 25%, 50% 그리고 100%의 열 사이펀 적용 시 각각 5.5%, 14.4%, 21% 융기 억제성능을 나타내었다.

화재 발생 시 지하구조물의 열-역학상호거동이 정확히 고려되지 못하고 있으며, 이로 인해 일반적인 열전달 이론에 근거한 수치해석 시 화재로 인한 구조물의 손상정도가 과소 평가될 수 있는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화재 발생 시 지하구조물의 열-역학 상호거동을 모사하기 위한 유한요소 기반의 수치모델을 새롭게 개발하였다. 특히, 화재로 인한 구조물의 단면 손실을 모사하기 위한 요소제거모델을 제안하였고 대류 경계조건을 적용하였다. 이때 요소 내의 최대 온도가 해석 시에 설정한 임계온도 이상이 되면 요소가 제거되도록 설정하였다. 모형 화재시험 결과와 해석 결과를 비교한 변수해석을 통하여, RABT와 RWS 화재 시나리오 조건에 대한 최적의 임계온도, 요소크기, 온도에 따른 대류열전달계수 조건 등을 제시하였다.

In this paper, we present a 3D thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled discrete beam lattice model of structure built of the nonisothermal saturated poro-plastic medium subjected to mechanical loads and nonstationary heat transfer conditions. The proposed model is based on Voronoi cell representation of the domain with cohesive links represented as inelastic Timoshenko beam finite elements enhanced with additional kinematics in terms of embedded strong discontinuities in axial and both transverse directions. The enhanced Timoshenko beam finite element is capable of modeling crack formation in mode I, mode II and mode III. Mode I relates to crack opening, mode II relates to in-plane crack sliding, and mode III relates to the out-of-plane shear sliding. The pore fluid flow and heat flow in the proposed model are governed by Darcy's law and Fourier's law for heat conduction, respectively. The pore pressure field and temperature field are approximated with linear tetrahedral finite elements. By exploiting nodal point quadrature rule for numerical integration on tetrahedral finite elements and duality property between Voronoi diagram and Delaunay tetrahedralization, the numerical implementation of the coupling results with additional pore pressure and temperature degrees of freedom placed at each node of a Timoshenko beam finite element. The results of several numerical simulations are presented and discussed.

In this work we provide the theoretical formulation, discrete approximation and solution algorithm for instability problems combing geometric instability at large displacements and material instability due to softening under combined thermo-mechanical extreme loads. While the proposed approach and its implementation are sufficiently general to apply to vast majority of structural mechanics models, more detailed developments are provided for truss-bar model. Several numerical simulations are presented in order to illustrate a very satisfying performance of the proposed methodology.
