A formulation to compute the effective thermal expansion coefficients (αc) of an anisotropic short fiber-reinforced composite and the thermal stress (σ) induced in and around the fiber is developed. The formulation is based on the Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion method. Main emphasis is placed on short Carbon fiber/Aluminum. The thermal stress due to a uniform temperature rise ΔT is computed at points just outside the fiber. The effects of various parameters on αc and σ are also investigated.

Short Fiber Composite

When a coated short fiber composite is subject to temperature change, thermal stresses in and around the coated fibers are induced due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients of the constituents. The problem of the above thermal stresses in a coated short fiber composite is solved by using the Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion method under the assumption of thin coating. A parametric study is then conducted to examine the effect of thermo-mechanical properties of the coating on the stress field in an and around a coated short fiber. It is found in this study that critical parameters influencing the thermal stress field are the thermal expansion coefficients of the fiber and coating.

Good Agreement

Thermal stress induced by the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients between dissimilar materials becomes an important issue in many bi-layered systems, such as composites and micro-electronic devices. It is useful to provide a simple and efficient analytical model, so that the stress level in the layers can be accurately estimated. Basing on the Bernoulli beam theory, a simple but accurate analytical formulation is proposed to evaluate the thermal stresses in a bi-material beam. The analytical results are compared with finite element results. Good agreement demonstrates that the proposed approach is able to provide an efficient way for the calculation of the thermal stresses. It is shown that thermal stresses are linear proportion to the ratio of thermal expansion coefficients between the two materials. Parametric studies reveal that thermal stresses in each layer are decreasing with the increase of thickness, and are increasing with the increase of Young’s modulus ratio between the two materials.

The thermal stresses in a ceramic coating bonded to a metal substrate generated by heat flux conditions in an engine were studied. Edge delamination of the coating was related to the displacements of an interface crack between the ceramic and the metal. The effects of varying the thermal expansion coefficients of the ceramic, the bond coat and the metal, thin moduli of elasticity, their thicknesses and the initial stress-free temperature were determined.

The prediction of stress changes and deformations arising from ground heating requires the coupled solution of the heat transfer and consolidation equations. Heat consolidation as a class of problems is distinct from other thermally induced consolidation problems involving processes such as frost heave and thaw consolidation in that it involves heating to elevated temperatures well above normal ground temperatures. Two of the important parameters required in analyses of heat consolidation problems are thermal expansion coefficients and a coefficient of thermal pore pressure generation.Relationships describing thermal expansion behaviour and thermal pore pressure generation in oil sands are presented. Both drained and undrained thermal expansion coefficients for Athabasca oil sand were determined by means of heating experiments in the temperature range 20–300 °C. The thermal pore pressure generation coefficient was evaluated in undrained heating experiments under constant total confining stresses and under constant effective confining stresses. The equipment and experimental methods developed during this study are appropriate for determination of thermal expansion and pore pressure generation properties of oil sands and other unconsolidated geologic materials. Key words: thermal expansion, oil sand, tar sand, thermal pore pressure generation, heat consolidation, thermal consolidation, coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal stresses, ground heating, thermally enhanced oil recovery, thermoelasticity, undrained heating.
