An analytical method is proposed for the analysis of the reinforced concrete flexural beam subjected to high temperature. The analysis procedure for the material properties, in this study, is subdivided into two types; thermal properties for temperature distribution analysis and mechanical properties for structural analysis. Using F.D.M. and segmentation method, the program was made to predict the thermal behavior of RC beams during heating. In previous studies, the structural behavior of fire damaged RC beams was investigated though experiments. Comparing the result by program to the one by experiment, the comparison indicated that the proposed segmentation method for the thermal respose analysis present fairly a good agreement with experiment.

Thermal loads, especially thermal gradients, have a considerable effect on the behaviors of large-scale bridges throughout their lifecycles. Bridge design specifications provide minimal guidance regarding thermal gradients for simple bridge girders and do not consider transversal thermal gradients in wide girder cross-sections. This paper investigates the three-dimensional thermal gradients of arch bridge girders by integrating long-term field monitoring data recorded by a structural health monitoring system, with emphasis on the vertical and transversal thermal gradients of wide concrete-steel composite girders. Based on field monitoring data for one year, the time-dependent characteristics of temperature and three-dimensional thermal gradients in girder cross-sections are explored. A statistical analysis of thermal gradients is conducted, and the probability density functions of transversal and vertical thermal gradients are estimated. The extreme thermal gradients are predicted with a specific return period by employing an extreme value analysis, and the profiles of the vertical thermal gradient are established for bridge design. The transversal and vertical thermal gradients are developed to help engineers understand the thermal behaviors of concrete-steel composite girders during their service periods.

The thermo-structural analysis of the solid-fuel propulsion Nozzle is studied to estimate the thermo-structural safety of the metal nozzle. The thermal load is determined to be significantly large, Because the metal nozzle in a short combustion time is directly exposed to high pressure and temperature of combustion gas. Through a analysis result, the influence of a thermal load is estimated and henceforward a design data of thruster is used.

Continuous contraction and expansion of disk brake can be due to friction and temperature difference at repeated sudden braking. As serious vibration at disk is produced, the braking force will be changed ununiformly and braking system can not be stabilized. Temperature and heat flux at disk brake are investigated by structural and thermal analysis in this study. The maximum equivalent stress and displacement are shown respectively at the ventilated hole and the lower part of disk plate. At thermal analysis of initial state, temperature on disk plate is distributed from $95.9^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. The maximum heat flux of $0.0168W/mm^2$ is shown at the inner friction part between disk plate and pad. At thermal analysis of transient state, temperature on disk plate is distributed from $95^{\circ}C$ to $96.5^{\circ}C$ after 100 second. The maximum heat flux of $0.0024W/mm^2$ is also shown at the inner friction part between disk plate and pad. By comparing with initial state, the temperature on disk plate is more uniformly distributed and heat flux is more decreased by 7 times at transient state.

The numerical analysis of ablative thermal protection systems (TPS) for solid rockets has been carried out with various in-house codes since the 1960s. However, the application scope of commercial codes has been expanded by adding subroutines and user-defined functions (UDF) to codes such as Fluent, Marc, and ABAQUS. In the past, the flow, thermal response and structural analysis of TPS have been performed using separate approaches. Recently, research has been conducted to interrelate them. In this paper, the thermal response characteristics of thermal protection materials, the in-house codes for thermal response analysis, and the research trends of flow-thermal-structure analysis of TPS using commercial codes were reviewed.

3-way ball valves have been mostly used for high temperature/high pressure valves using in petrochemical carriers and oil tankers, which requires high quality products with confidentiality and durability. As a larger disaster may be generated by leakage of oil or gas from valves, thus the present research applied a numerical analysis method with thermal-structural coupled field analysis and the performance test. The Max stress by parts was confirmed through thermal-structural coupled field analysis and develop the 3-way ball valve design, which is safe on operating condition. And its performance was verified by carrying out pressure test, leakage test and durability test for the manufactured 3-way ball valves with satisfying it's regulations.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the structural safety of the basic design for the linear actuator for the flap control of aircrafts. The kinetic behavior of the linear actuator was determined using the multi-body dynamics (MBD) analysis, and the contact force was calculated to be used as input data for the structural analysis based on the finite element analysis. In the structural analysis, the thermal and static behaviors of the linear actuator satisfying the designed velocity were examined, and the structural safety of the linear actuator evaluated. Moreover, the dynamic behaviors of the key components of the linear actuator were investigated by the modal analysis. The actuation rod linearly moved with about 5 mm/s when the motor operated at 225 rpm and the maximum contact force of 32.83 N occurred between two driving gears. Meanwhile, the structural analysis revealed that the maximum thermal and static stresses were 1.57% and 78% of the yield strength of steel, respectively, and they were in a safe range of the structure. In addition, the linear actuator for the basic design is stable to the resonance by avoiding the natural frequencies of the components.

Three-dimensional thermal and mechanical coupled finite element models are proposed to study the structural behaviours of shear connectors under fire. Concrete slabs, steel beams and shear connectors are modelled with eight-noded solid elements, and profiled steel deckings are modelled with eight-noded shell elements. Thermal, mechanical and geometrical nonlinearities are incorporated into the models. With the proper incorporation of thermal and mechanical contacts among steel beams, shear connectors, steel deckings and concrete slabs, both of the models are verified to be accurate after the validation against a series of push-out tests in the room temperature or under the standard fire. Various thermal and mechanical responses are also extracted and observed in details from the results of the numerical analyses, which gives a better understanding of the structural behavior of shear connectors under elevated temperatures.
