A modified fractional-order thermo-viscoelastic model and its application to a polymer micro-rod heated by a moving heat source

Classical thermo-viscoelastic models may be challenged to predict the precise thermo-mechanical behavior of viscoelastic materials without considering the memorydependent effect.Meanwhile,with the miniaturization of devices,the size-dependent effect on elastic deformation is becoming more and more important.To capture the memory-dependent effect and the size-dependent effect,the present study aims at developing a modified fractional-order thermo-viscoelastic coupling model at the microscale to account for two fundamentally distinct fractional-order models which govern the memory-dependent features of thermal conduction and stress-strain relation,respectively.Then,the modified theory is used to study the dynamic response of a polymer micro-rod heated by a moving heat source.The governing equations are obtained and solved by the Laplace transform method.In calculation,the effects of the fractional-order parameter,the fractional-order strain parameter,the mechanical relaxation parameter,and the nonlocal parameter on the variations of the considered variables are analyzed and discussed in detail.

Exact analytical solution to three-dimensional phase change heat transfer problems in biological tissues subject to freezing

Analytically solving a three-dimensional （3-D） bioheat transfer problem with phase change during a freezing process is extremely difficult but theoretically important. The moving heat source model and the Green function method are introduced to deal with the cryopreservation process of in vitro biomaterials. Exact solutions for the 3-D temperature transients of tissues under various boundary conditions, such as totally convective cooling, totally fixed temperature cooling and a hybrid between them on tissue surfaces, are obtained. Furthermore, the cryosurgical process in living tissues subject to freezing by a single or multiple cryoprobes is also analytically solved. A closed-form analytical solution to the bioheat phase change process is derived by considering contributions from blood perfusion heat transfer, metabolic heat generation, and heat sink of a cryoprobe. The present method is expected to have significant value for analytically solving complex bioheat transfer problems with phase change.

Temperature Distribution and Thermal Stresses in Various Conditions of Moving Heating Source during Line Heating Process

Line heating method is widely used to manufacture curved surfaces in ship building. The main factors governing the quality of the manufactured products are the moving velocity of the heating source, heating strength, and heating ways. In this study, the temperature distributions of the heated plate were investigated with the condition that the line heating process was automatic. The temperature variations were also investigated with the changes of those three variables. The numerical results showed that the peak temperature decreased as the moving velocity of the heating source increased. It also revealed that the peak temperatures changed linearly with the changes of the heating source.

An Analytical Solution of Melting around a Moving Elliptical Heat Source

This paper studies the close-contact melting around a moving, horizontal elliptical heat source thatmelts its way through a phase change material under its own weight. The heat source velocity andthe volume of the material melted are obtained by analysis. The effects of compression coefficient andtemperature distribution in the melt are investigated. The results include that for melting around amoving cylindrical heat source.

Assessment of gas tungsten arc welding thermal cycles on Inconel 718 alloy

Heat moving source models along with transient heat analysis by finite element method were used to determine weld thermal cycles and isothermal sections obtained from the application of a gas tungsten arc welding beads on Inconel 718 plates. Analytical (Rosenthal’s thick plate model) and finite element results show an acceptable approximation with the experimental weld thermal cycles. The isothermal sections determined by numerical simulation show a better approximation with the experimental welding profile for double-ellipse model heat distribution than Gauss model. To analyze the microstructural transformation produced by different cooling rates in the fusion and heat affected zones, Vickers microhardness measurements (profile and mapping representation) were conducted. A hardness decrement for the heat affected zone (~200 HV0.2) and fusion zone (~240 HV0.2) in comparison with base material (~350 HV0.2) was observed. This behavior has been attributed to the heterogeneous solubilization process of the γ″ phase (nickel matrix), which, according to the continuous-cooling-transformation curve, produced the Laves phase,δ and MC transition phases, generating a loss in hardness close to the fusion zone.
