In this paper thermo-mechanical vibration analysis of a porous functionally graded (FG) Timoshenko beam in thermal environment with various boundary conditions are performed by employing a semi analytical differential transform method (DTM) and presenting a Navier type solution method for the first time. The temperature-dependent material properties of FG beam are supposed to vary through thickness direction of the constituents according to the power-law distribution which is modified to approximate the material properties with the porosity phases. Also the porous material properties vary through the thickness of the beam with even and uneven distribution. Two types of thermal loadings, namely, uniform and linear temperature rises through thickness direction are considered. Derivation of equations is based on the Timoshenko beam theory in order to consider the effect of both shear deformation and rotary inertia. Hamilton's principle is applied to obtain the governing differential equation of motion and boundary conditions. The detailed mathematical derivations are presented and numerical investigations are performed while the emphasis is placed on investigating the effect of several parameters such as porosity distributions, porosity volume fraction, thermal effect, boundary conditions and power-low exponent on the natural frequencies of the FG beams in detail. It is explicitly shown that the vibration behavior of porous FG beams is significantly influenced by these effects. Numerical results are presented to serve benchmarks for future analyses of FG beams with porosity phases.

In this paper, structural behavior under fire conditions is comprehensively examined, and a novel software interface for testing interfaces efficiently is developed and validated. In order to accurately assess the response of structures to fire scenarios, advanced simulation techniques and modeling approaches are incorporated into the study. This interface enables accurate heat transfer analysis and thermo-mechanical simulations by integrating software tools such as CSI ETABS, CSI SAP2000, and OpenSees. Heat transfer models can be automatically generated, simulation outputs processed, and structural responses interpreted under a variety of fire scenarios using the proposed technique. As a result of rigorous testing and validation against established methods, including Cardington tests on scales and hybrid simulation approaches, the software interface has been proven to be effective and accurate. The analysis process is streamlined by this interface, providing engineers and researchers with a robust tool for assessing structural performance under fire conditions.

A comprehensive thermo-electromagnetic model has been developed to estimate temperature and electromagnetic distribution in an three-phase induction motor under steady state operation. Electromagnetic modeling enables us to predict thermal dissipation rates by eddy-current loss and copper loss in induction motors. Non-uniform temperature distributions are investigated to account for the strong effect of local temperature build-up on the motor performance and expected life-span. For more accurate thermal modeling purpose, Heat loss mapping method, which is matched up with electromagnetic losses and volumetric heat source, is developed and performed analysis. Heat loss mapping method can be greatly used as a design or diagnostic tool for three-phase induction motors with complex structural electromagnetic fields.

This paper is concerned with thermo-mechanical vibration behavior of flexoelectric/piezoelectric nanobeams under uniform and linear temperature distributions. Flexoelectric/piezoelectric nanobeams have higher natural frequencies compared to conventional piezoelectric ones, especially at lower thicknesses. Both nonlocal and surface effects are considered in the analysis of flexoelectric/piezoelectric nanobeams for the first time. Hamilton's principle is employed to derive the governing equations and the related boundary conditions which are solved applying a Galerkin-based solution. Comparison study is also performed to verify the present formulation with those of previous data. Numerical results are presented to investigate the influences of the flexoelectricity, nonlocal parameter, surface elasticity, temperature rise, beam thickness and various boundary conditions on the vibration frequencies of thermally affected flexoelectric/piezoelectric nanobeam.

본 연구의 목적은 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 항공기 엔진에 장착된 미세 튜브형 열교환기의 작동하중에 대한 특성을 파악하고 구조안전성을 평가하는 것이다. 작동 하중은 열-기계하중이 고려되었다. 항공기 엔진 부품의 특수성으로 인하여 구조적 강성확보뿐만 아니라 고효율, 저중량, 최소체적을 만족하는 형상 설계가 요구 된다. 브레이징한 미세튜브의 기계적물성치 확보를 위해 고온 인장 실험을 수행하였다. Ansys 12.1의 자체 모델러를 이용하여 형상을 모델링하고 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 열-구조 연성해석을 통하여 튜브를 제외한 모듈형(modular type) 열교환기에 대한 설계방법을 제시하고 구조적 건전성을 평가하였다.

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.

Components manufactured from composite materials are frequently subjected to superimposed mechanical and thermal loadings during their operating service. Both types of loadings may cause fracture and failure of composite structures. When composite cross-ply laminates of type [$0_m/90_n]_s$ are subjected to uni-axial tensile loading, different types of damage are set-up and developed such as matrix cracking: transverse and longitudinal cracks, delamination between disoriented layers and broken fibers. The development of these modes of damage can be detrimental for the stiffness of the laminates. From the experimental point of view, transverse cracking is known as the first mode of damage. In this regard, the objective of the present paper is to investigate the effect of transverse cracking in cross-ply laminate under thermo-mechanical degradation. A Finite Element (FE) simulation of damage evolution in composite crossply laminates of type [$0_m/90_n]_s$ subjected to uni-axial tensile loading is carried out. The effect of transverse cracking on the cross-ply laminate strength under thermo-mechanical degradation is investigated numerically. The results obtained by prediction of the numerical model developed in this investigation demonstrate the influence of the transverse cracking on the bearing capacity and resistance to damage as well as its effects on the variation of the mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and coefficient of thermal expansion. The results obtained are in good agreement with those predicted by the Shear-lag analytical model as well as with the obtained experimental results available in the literature.

A MEMS solid propellant thruster array shall be operated within an allowable range of operating temperatures to avoid ignition failure by incomplete combustion due to a time delay in ignition. The structural safety of the MEMS thruster array under severe on-orbit thermal conditions can also be guaranteed by a suitable thermal control. In this study, we propose a thermal control strategy to perform on-orbit verification of a MEMS thruster module, which is expected to be the primary payload of the STEP Cube Lab mission. The strategy involves, the use of micro-igniters as heaters and temperature sensors for active thermal control because an additional heater cannot be implemented in the current design. In addition, we made efforts to reduce the launch loads transmitted to the MEMS thruster module at the system level structural design. The effectiveness of the proposed thermo-mechanical design strategy has been demonstrated by numerical analysis.

정확한 추력 및 비추력 특성을 파악하기 위하여 액체로켓엔진용 연소기에 추가적으로 임시 노즐확장부를 장착함에 있어, 그 열/구조적 건전성을 파악하였다. 이 열/구조적 건전성은 재질 및 차폐막(TBC)의 두께 효과를 살펴봄으로써 검토하였다. TBC가 없는 경우에는 열/구조적 건전성을 유지할 수 없음을 파악할 수 있었다. TBC의 두께에 따라서 노즐확장부 벽면에서의 최대온도는 많이 감소하였다. 노즐확장부를 steel로 제작하는 경우에는 TBC를 적용해야만 연소시험동안 확장부의 열/구조적 건전성이 보장될 것으로 예상된다.
