The ${\beta}$-transus temperature in titanium alloys plays an important role in the design of thermo-mechanical treatments. It primarily depends on the chemical composition of the alloy and the relationship between them is non-linear and complex. Considering these relationships is difficult using mathematical equations. A feed-forward neural-network model with a back-propagation algorithm was developed to simulate the relationship between the ${\beta}$-transus temperature of titanium alloys, and the alloying elements. The input parameters to the model consisted of the nine alloying elements (i.e., Al, Cr, Fe, Mo, Sn, Si, V, Zr, and O), whereas the model output is the ${\beta}$-transus temperature. The model developed was then used to predict the ${\beta}$-transus temperature for different elemental combinations. Sensitivity analysis was performed on a trained neural-network model to study the effect of alloying elements on the ${\beta}$-transus temperature, keeping other elements constant. Very good performance of the model was achieved with previously unseen experimental data. Some explanation of the predicted results from the metallurgical point of view is given. The graphical-user-interface developed for the model should be very useful to researchers and in industry for designing the thermo-mechanical treatment of titanium alloys.

This paper examines the fire performance of uninsulated and uncoated restrained steel-concrete composite beams supplemented with externally prestressed strands through advanced numerical simulation. In this work, a sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical analysis is carried out using ABAQUS. This analysis utilizes a highly nonlinear three-dimensional finite element (FE) model that is specifically developed and validated using full-sized specimens tested in a companion fire testing program. The developed FE model accounts for nonlinearities arising from geometric features and material properties, as well as complexities resulting from prestressing systems, fire conditions, and mechanical loadings. Four factors are of interest to this work including effect of restraints (axial vs. rotational), degree of stiffness of restraints, the configuration of external prestressed tendons, and magnitude of applied loading. The outcome of this analysis demonstrates how the prestressing force in the external tendons is primarily governed by the magnitude of applied loading and experienced temperature level. Interestingly, these results also show that the stiffness of axial restraints has a minor influence on the failure of restrained and prestressed steel-concrete composite beams. When the axial restraint ratio does not exceed 0.5, the critical deflection of the composite beam is lower than that of the composite beam with a restraint ratio of 1.0.

Dissimilar joining of AI 6013-T4 alloys and austenite stainless steel was carried out using friction stir welding technique. Microstructures near the weld zone and mechanical properties of the joint have been investigated. Microstructures in the stainless steel side and AI alloy were depended on the thermo-mechanical condition which they received. TEM micrographs revealed that the interface region was composed of the mixed layers of elongated stainless steel and ultra-fine grained AI alloy and intermetallic compound layer which was identified as the $Al_{4}Fe$ with hexagonal close packed structure. Mechanical properties were lower than those of 6013 AI alloy base metal, because tool inserting location was deviated to AI alloy from the butt line, which resulted in the lack of the stirring.

본 연구에서는 토압 등의 외압이 원주 용접된 매설 강관의 잔류응력에 미치는 영향을 유한요소 해석을 통하여 명확히 하였다. 먼저 3차원 열탄소성 해석을 통하여 원주 용접된 강관의 잔류응력을 구하였으며, 이를 초기조건으로 설정하여 3차원 탄소성 해석을 수행함으로써 외압이 작용하는 경우 잔류응력 거동을 조사하였다. 해석결과 외압에 의해 원주 용접부에 발생하는 원주방향 압축응력 때문에 원주방향 잔류응력이 압축 측으로 상당히 많이 이동함을 알 수 있었고, 축방향 잔류응력은 작용하는 외압에 의해 거의 영향을 받지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

경수로 핵연료가 원자로내에서 연소되는 동안 핵연료 펠릿에서부터 피복관까지 온도해석은 핵연료 안전 해석에 있어 중요한 요소이며, 경수로 핵연료 온도 해석을 하기 위해서는 간극 모델 개발이 필수적이다. 간극 열전도도는 특성상 간극 두께값에 의존적이게 되며 이러한 특성으로 인해 다차원 간극 열전도도 모델이 비선형적 거동을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 선형화된 다차원 간극 열전도도 모델 개발을 위해 가상 연결 간극 요소를 제안하였다. 제안된 간극 연결 요소에 간극 열전도도를 적용하기 위해 등가 열전달 계수를 정의하였다. 제안된 모듈을 평가하기 위해 상용코드 ANSYS APDL 을 이용하여 열-구조 연계 해석 모듈을 구현하였으며, 다양한 예제를 통해 정확성과 수렴성을 평가하였다.

In this article, the static responses of layered magneto-electro-thermo-elastic (METE) plates in thermal environment have been investigated through FE methods. By using Reddy's third order shear deformation theory (TSDT) in association with the Hamilton's principle, the direct and derived quantities of the coupled system have been obtained. The coupled governing equations of METE plates have been derived through condensation technique. Three layered METE plates composed of piezoelectric and piezomagnetic phases are considered for evaluation. For investigating the correctness and accuracy, the results in this article are validated with previous researches. In addition, a special attention has been paid to evaluate the influence of different electro-magnetic boundary conditions and pyrocoupling on the coupled response of METE plates. Finally, the influence of stacking sequences, magnitude of temperature load and aspect ratio on the coupled static response of METE plates are investigated in detail.

Laser forming is an advanced process in sheet metal forming in which a laser heat source is used to shape the metal sheet. This is a new manufacturing technique that forms the metal sheet only by a thermal stress. Analyses of the temperature and stress fields are very important to identify the deformation mechanism in laser forming. In this paper, temperature distributions and deformation behaviors of DP980 steel sheets are investigated numerically and experimentally. FE simulations are first conducted to evaluate the response of a square sheet in bending. The effects of process parameters such as laser power and scanning speed are then analyzed numerically and experimentally. It is observed that experimental and numerical results are in good agreement. These results provide a relationship between the line energy and the angles for laser bending of DP980 steel sheets.

Mg and Mg-based alloys are regarded as strong candidate hydrogen storage materials since their hydrogen capacity exceeds that of known metal hydrides. One of the approaches to improve kinetic is addition of metal oxide. In this paper, we tried to improve the hydrogenation properties of Mg-based hydrogen storage composites. The effect of transition metal oxides, such as $Nb_2O_5$ on the kinetics of the Magnesium hydrogen absorption kinetics was investigated. $MgH_x$-5wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ composites have been synthesized by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying. The powder fabricated was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (Fe-SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), BET and simultaneous Thermo Gravimetric Analysis / Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TG/DSC) analysis. The Absorption / desorption kinetics of $MgH_x$-5wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ (type I and II) are determined at 423, 473, 523, 573 and 623 K.

Thickness control of hot-rolled strips has become an important issue in recent years because of the need for improving the quality of the hot-rolled strip. In this study, a modifying method of rolling force set-up with consideration of spread was developed to improve the thickness uniformity at the finishing rolling units in hot rolling. Through the analysis of real production data it was found that the accuracy of the rolling force determined from the finishing mill set-up (FSU) model dominantly governed the thickness uniformity in rolled plates at the front. Based on this analysis , several examples were selected to calculate the spread of rolled plate using three dimensional rigid thermo-viscoplastic finite element program. FE analysis results were used to train the neural network system that can predict the spread hot-rolled plate and the rolling force was modified based on the predicted value of spread. The modified rolling forces were closer to the measured rolling force so it can be expected that the accuracy of thickness uniformity of hot-rolled plate will be improved.

원자력 발전소의 반응로에 핵연료 봉으로 이루어진 집합체가 있으며 핵 연료의 연소를 통한 열을 이용하여 발전을 한다. 핵연료 봉은 핵연료와 그를 감싸는 피복관으로 이루어졌으며 연소되는 동안 서로의 상호작용에 대한 해석은 안전성을 평가함에 있어 중요한 사실이다. 본 논문에서는 핵연료와 피복관의 연소 상태에서 기계적 상호작용에 대한 해석 방법에 대하여 제시한다. 온도 해석에 있어서 핵연료와 간극 사이에서의 열전도도가 중요하며 간극 거리와 접촉여부에 따른 접촉 압력이 또한 중요 요소이다. 이에 간극 열전도도는 비결정론적이기 때문에 이를 해결할 수 있는 방법에 대하여 제시했다. 핵 연료의 열팽창에 따른 피복관과의 접촉을 해결하기 위한 계산을 수행하였고 그에 따라 접촉 시 발생하는 응력이 항복함수를 넘어 소성 변형이 일어날 경우 또한 고려하였다. 핵연료의 열팽창에 따라 피복관과 접촉에 의한 소성 변형을 해석하므로 핵연료 봉의 안정성을 평가할 수 있다. 이를 적용하기 위해 3차원 유한요소 모듈을 FORTRAN90을 이용하여 개발하였다. 핵연료와 피복관의 접촉에 의한 탄소성 변형을 주로 다루며 두꺼운 실린더를 통한 간단한 이론 모델을 제시하여 코드에 대해 검증을 실시하였다.
