The pursuit of analytical solutions for the temperature distribution and also thermal stresses within the MHP is of intrinsic scientific interest. In this study, analytical solutions for the temperature field, and both radial and tangential stresses and van Mises stress for circular MHP were obtained. Two geometries were considered： one had a circular heater at the center and the other had a circular heater at the center and an annular heater within the membrane part. Internal heat generation was incorporated in the energy equation for the MHP and different values of convection heat transfer coefficient were used at the upper and lower surfaces of the MHP. It has been shown that the MHP with two heaters can provide more uniform temperature field compared with the MHP with one heater. The main objective of this work is to provide an exact analytical solution for thermal stresses within the circular micro-hcater with a simple geometry as a benchmark, from mathematical point of view, against which the accuracy of new numerical schemes can be checked. To make sure that the analytical procedure is correct, the analytical results are checked against numerical solutions derived from finite element simulation. Since the analytical models for the temperature field and especially for the thermal stresses of MHP ace seldom investigated in the literature, the obtained results are believed to facilitate the design and performance evaluation of MHPs as well.展开更多

First, the boundary element method for nonlinear problems is improved by linearization of nonlinear problems and used in welding thermal conduction analysis. Second, the thermo-elasto-plastic finite element method is used for the welding stress calculation, in which the phase transformation is considered by the 'equivalent linear expansion coefficient method'. The comparison of the calculated results with experimental data shows that the methods provided in this paper are available.展开更多

The mathematical model of the drum temperature distribution is based on the assumptions that the difference of temperature along the longitudinal axis of the boiler drum is negligible with changes only in the radial direction and the circumferential direction, and that the outer surface of drum is thermaUy insulated. Combining this model with the control-volume method provides temperatures at different points on a cross-section of the drum. With the temperature data, the stresses and the life expectancy of the boiler drum are derived according to the ASME code. Applying this method to the cold start-up process of a 300 MW boiler demonstrated the absence of errors caused by the boundary condition assumptions on the inner surface of the drum and testified that the method is an applicable technique for the online stress monitoring and fatigue life analysis of boiler drums.展开更多

Special user subroutine is worked out to accom- plish this function.This technique can make the dense mesh moving simultaneously with the heat source while the other area of the structure with much coarser mesh, greatly reducing the number of nodes and elements in the analysis.Temperature field,displacement and stress distributions during welding pro- cess me analyzed by FEM method with adaptive mesh and the analysis is also conducted with normal FEM method. The temperature field,displacement and stress distributions obtained with both methods are shown in contrast. The results show that the temperature fields and the displacement distributions of simulation on adaptive mesh correspond wery well with that of without adaptive mesh. Though the stress distributions have some difference,but the trends of the stress distribution are corresponding.The com- parison of the computing time of the two meshes indicates that the adaptive that the adaptive mesh can greatly reduce the calculation time when used for welding process.展开更多

In the work presented in this paper,the DC conductivity and AC breakdown of this polymeric insulation material have been measured as a function of temperature. The results show that Hifax cable insulation has a higher AC breakdown strength than EPR and XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene), and the DC resistivity of Hifax is larger than that of XLPE and oil-impregnated paper insulations. The electrical stress coefficient of resistivity of Hifax wire insulation increases with temperature, which needs to be taken into account in calculating the electrical field distribution across DC cable insulation. It has been observed that there is an anomalous change in resistivity at high electrical field, suggesting charge trapping and detrapping processes are present in Hifax cable insulation. It is concluded that blending Hifax with 62% polypropylene decreases the breakdown strength significantly.展开更多

The characteristics of austenite recrystallization of hot rolled C-Mn steel in the CSP process are also discussed. The simulation of the microstructure evolution of C-Mn steel ZJ510L during CSP multipass hot rolling indicates that dynamic recrystallization and metadynamic recrystallization may easily occur in the first few passes, where nonuniform recrystallization and inhomogeneous grain size microstructure may readily occur; during the last few passes, static recrystallization may occur dominantly, and the microstructure will become more homogeneous and partial recrystallization may occur at relatively low temperature.展开更多
