A method of the shape design sensitivity analysis based on the boundary integral equation formulation is presented for two-dimensional inhomogeneous thermal conducting solids with multiple domains. Shape variation of the external and interface boundary is considered. A sensitivity formula of a general performance functional is derived by taking the material derivative to the boundary integral identity and by introducing an adjoint system. In numerical analysis, state variables of the primal and adjoint systems are solved by the boundary element method using quadratic elements. Two numerical examples of a compound cylinder and a thermal diffuser are taken to show implementation of the shape design sensitivity analysis. Accuracy of the present method is verified by comparing analyzed sensitivities with those by the finite difference. As application to the shape optimization, an optimal shape of the thermal diffuser is found by incorporating the sensitivity analysis algorithm in an optimization program.

In the case of a crack propagation a portion of the work of inelastic deformation near the crack tip is dissipated as heat. In order to understand the thermal effect on fracture toughness, tensile tests were carried out using thermocouples to monitor the variation of temperature. The experimental results show that the temperature of specimen was increased $5.4^{\circ}C$ at static load condition. And the thermal effect is investigated connected with the steady-state stress in the vicinity of a crack propagation in the elastic-plastic C-T specimen theoretically. And fracture toughness, the energy to make crack surfaces, presented correctively. The fracture toughness with considering heat at the blunting of the crack tip is lower about 16.9％ than that of ignoring heat. So, it is resonable to apply the fracture toughness with considering thermal energy and it would be good explanation for constraint effect depending on the configuration in the presence of excessive plasticity.

In the present paper, the nonlocal strain gradient refined model is used to study the thermal stability of sandwich nanoplates integrated with piezoelectric layers for the first time. The influence of Kerr elastic foundation is also studied. The present model incorporates two small-scale coefficients to examine the size-dependent thermal stability response. Elastic properties of nanoplate made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are supposed to vary through the thickness direction and are estimated employing a modified power-law rule in which the porosity with even type of distribution is approximated. The governing differential equations of embedded sandwich piezoelectric porous nanoplates under hygrothermal loading are derived through Hamilton's principle where the Galerkin method is applied to solve the stability problem of the nanoplates with simply-supported edges. It is indicated that the thermal stability characteristics of the porous nanoplates are obviously influenced by the porosity volume fraction and material variation, nonlocal parameter, strain gradient parameter, geometry of the nanoplate, external voltage, temperature and humidity variations, and elastic foundation parameters.

Generally, among many kinds of shading devices such as venetian blind, sunscreen, louver and curtain, venetian blind is using widely because the mechanism is so simple and easy to use solar insolation by controlling the slat angle. Analysis of time dependent heat transfer through the window with venetian blind is very important in order to use it effectivly. Therefore, in this study, theoretical thermal analysis method was developed to analyze time dependent heat transfer through a double pane window with and without venetian blind, and was made one module of TRNSYS(A Transient Simulation Program)program. By this way, it was analyzed that how much the variation of slat angle, slat colour and slat absorptivity of venetian blind would be affected on the heating and cooling load of building, and also which colour and angle of slat was optimal for the heating and cooling load of building.

The objective of this study is to investigate the thermal conductivity of cement mortar for apartment housing floor using expansive admixture, copper fiber, cower lathe, hollowed aluminum plate. According to test results, temperature at point (a) located above heating pipe does not show significant variation with age, and temperature at (b), which is located at the finishing surface above heating pipe, and temperature at (c), which is located at center surface between heating pipe has remarkable change. Temperature distribution sat (b) are in order for, structure containing copper fiber>plain structure>structure containing hollowed aluminum plate>structure containing expansive admixture. Temperature distribution, shows high tendency in order for, structure containing copper fiber>structure containing copper lathe>structure containing hollowed aluminum plate>plain structure>structure containing expansive admixture. (a) estimation of temperature distribution is determined with the variation of temperature between (b) point and (c) point during 60 minutes heating.

Subjects with 0.7[clo]'s amount of clothing were estimated on their thermal comfort, concentrativeness, heart rate variability, stress and fatigue degree when given variation in relative humidity to 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80[RH%], in an environmental test room of temperature 25[$^{\circ}C$], illumination 1000[lux] and air velocity 0.02[m/sec], by using EEG, learning ability and HRV. At the result, it was at 50~60[RH%] of relative humidity that subject's thermal comfort and concentrativeness were at the highest while stress were at the lowest, and it was at 60[RH%] of relative humidity that heart rate variability was most stabilized. It was found that when temperature and humidity of the environmental test room are at 25[$^{\circ}C$] and 50~60[RH%], subject's productivity and psychological state are least affected.

In this study, a novel algorithm of the improvement residual non-uniformity (RNU) in thermal imaging system is proposed using correlated double sample signal processing. The proposed method attempts to eliminate offset variation of ROIC in IR detector causing the variation of FPA (focal plane array) temperature and suppling power. Experimental results show that the proposed method confirmed a better performance than the existing RNU system.

Heat transfer modeling was performed in order to study a natural solar heating system. Simulation of the system was obtained by writing instantaneous energy balance equations for the various components. A thermal-network provided the means for systematically accounting for each of the energy balances. The resulting balances were solved using time varying inputs, such as solar gain and ambient temperature, and the initial temperatures of the components. Parametric heat transfer calculations were performed. Results are discussed which illustrate several effects, including variation of thermal capacity of the storage wall, installation of night insulation, installation of a thermally controlled fan between the sunspace and room, and variation of the width of the sunspace.

A numerical investigation has been performed to discuss the radiation-affected steady-laminar natural convection in an enclosure under a large temperature difference. Due to inherent nature of this study, the Boussinesq approximation is no longer valid. Therefore the radiating fluid in an enclosure is treated as a ideal gas. To examine the effects of thermal radiation on thermo-fluid dynamic behaviors in complex geometries, two incomplete partitions are introduced. Based on the results of this study, the dispositions of incomplete partitions with radiatively participating medium are found to incur a distinct difference in fluid-dynamic as well as thermal behavior.

It's important to measure quantitative properties about thermal-nano variation conduct of polymer for producing high quality components using NIL process. NanoScale indents can be used ad cells for molecular electronics and drug deliver, slots for integration into nanodevices, and defects for tailoring the structure and properties. In this study, it's to evaluate mechanical characteristic of polymer such as PMMA and PC at high temperature for manufacture of nano/micro size of polymer using indenter at high temperature. At high temperature mechanical properties of polymer have extreme variation. Because heating the polymer, it becomes softer than room temperature. In this case it is especially important to study for mechanical properties of polymer at high temperature.
