This paper does some research on the mechanical property of multilayer container structure under high temperature and gives some suggestions on how to make fire protection based on the performance-based fire design. Firstly, using the software of FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator), the fire background and fire heating release curve are determined. Through the simulation, the actual temperature curves (of the top and bottom temperature curves of the middle, door, and corner position in the container) are obtained and compared with the standard temperature curve of ISO-834. Secondly, using the software of Abaqus, a full scale finite element model of multilayer container structure is established. Two temperature fields under the standard temperature curve of ISO-834 and the actual temperature curve (of the most unfavorable curve of the top temperature curve of the middle position in the container) are obtained, respectively. Thirdly, the thermal-mechanical coupled analysis is carried out for the container structure under the wind loading and temperature field. The research result can be feasible in design and construction of container buildings and provides some references to corresponding specification preparation.

The abnormal local friction and wear phenomena usually generate during the service of the titanium alloy rotor /stator parts of the aero engine compressor under high temperature conditions. This phenomenon is the main cause of the occurrence of titanium fire failure and has great harm. In the present investigation the friction and wear behavior of the combustion resistant titanium alloy at high temperature was studied by finite element numerical simulation and experimental verification of the pin-on-disk model. Firstly, the geometrical model of the round bottom pin-on-disk contact was established. Then, the friction process was simulated by the Coulomb friction model. The ALE technique of ABAQUS was applied to move the contact nodes and update the grid. The finite element simulation of the ARCHARD wear model was realized. In order to deal with the increasing contact area, a simplify wear direction was proposed. Finally, the wear depth and volume was calculated and the wear law at 500 °C -900 °C was revealed. The results show that the wear process is gentle at the temperature of 500-700 °C, and the wear depth is within 0.08mm when the sliding distance reaches 1800m. When the temperature exceeds 800 °C, the wear rate increased sharply and the wear depth beyond 0.1mm, the FE result is consistent with the test results.

The temperature fields during semi-solid magnesium alloy produced by casting-rolling technology has been simulated by finite element method on the basis of ANSYS. The temperature fields for different conditions were obtained, which is consistent with the experimental results. Results show that there is a high temperature field in the casting and rolling zone. The temperature fluctuates from the center to edge of the strip near the entry of the casting and rolling zone. but The temperature decreases gradually from the center to edge of the strip near the exit of the casting and rolling zone. There are some remarkable effects of the temperature of the casting and rolling, the velocity of the casting and rolling, the gap of two roll, the cooling of the roll and the diameter of the roll on the temperature field, which are in agreement with the experimental results.

The transient, two-dimensional temperature field in a rectangular structural element subject to time dependent, nonlinear mixed boundary conditions has been obtained with a minimum of numerics. General results are given for two extreme fire histories, the American Society for Testing and Materials E-119 time-temperature curve and a short-duration high-intensity time-temperature curve. Comparisons are made with finite element and experimental temperature fields in a reinforced concrete column; good agreement is obtained. The stress field generated from the analytic temperature field also shows good agreement with finite element calculations. Applications to structural fires are discussed.

Large amplitude cable vibrations are difficult to predict using linear theory due to the presence of sag in the suspended profile. A numerical study was therefore undertaken to investigate the dynamic behaviour of inclined cables excited by imposed displacements. To model the nonlinear nature of cable response, a time domain finite element approach was adopted using nonlinear catenary cable elements. Two types of horizontal displacement patterns were enforced at the upper end of the guy. In the first phase of the study, harmonic displacement histories with a wide range of forcing frequencies were considered. In the second phase, random enforced displacements were used to simulate the motion of a guyed mast in gusty winds. The influence of aerodynamic drag and damping forces was investigated by performing analyses under still air, steady wind, and turbulent wind conditions. It was found that nonlinear coupling of related harmonic response components was significant at certain critical frequencies, particular when the excitation was harmonic and acted in the plane of the guy. Positive aerodynamic damping was shown to effectively suppress resonant and nonlinear coupling response.Key words: cables, structural dynamics, wind loading, finite element method, nonlinear analysis, guyed towers.

Modeling of welded joints under creep conditions with finite element analysis was undertaken using the theta projection method. The results were compared to modeling based on a simple Norton law. Theta projection data extends the accuracy and predictive capability of finite element modeling of critical structures operating at high temperature and pressure. In some cases analyzed, it was found that the results diverged from those gained using a Norton law creep model. [S0094-9930(00)00601-6]

Laser beam welding has found its application in the aircraft industry for the fabrication of fuselage panels in a T-joint configuration. However, the inconveniences like distortions and residual stresses are inevitable consequences of welding. The effort is made in this work to experimentally measure and numerically simulate the distortions induced by laser beam welding of a T-joint with industrially used thermal and mechanical boundary conditions on the thin sheets of aluminium 6056-T4. Several small scale experiments were carried out with various instrumentations to establish a database necessary to verify the simulation results. Finite element (FE) simulation is performed with Abaqus and the conical heat source is programmed in FORTRAN. Heat transfer analysis is performed to achieve the required weld pool geometry and temperature fields. Mechanical analysis is then performed with industrial loading and boundary conditions so as to predict the distortion and the residual stress pattern. A good agreement is found amongst the experimental and simulation results.

In an internal combustion engine poppet valve is the crucial component which often opens and closes, thereby regulating gas flow in an engine cylinder. During engine operation, the valve is exposed to high temperature gases (thermal load) along with spring and cam loads (mechanical load). Due to high temperatures and fatigue loads, the valves are subjected to metallurgical changes and leads to failure. In order to resist these extreme conditions of high temperature and mechanical loads, the engine valve should possess special properties such as high surface hardness, a good amount of thermal conductivity, and fatigue strength. In this work, the reasons for the failure of two wheeler engine valve were evaluated and found that failure takes place due to change in the chemical composition mainly due to thermal diffusion at the interfaces. Thermal barrier coatings on the valve surface arrest the temperature load and increase its life. In this work, the performance of various titanium based composite coatings, i.e., TiN, TiC, TiC-Al2O3, TiCN, TiAlN, TiN- Al2O3, DLC, and uncoated valves of two wheeler engine was simulated using Finite Element Analysis. The simulation results indicated that coated valves have less thermal and fatigue loading and have more life than the uncoated valve. The Finite element simulation results of both coated and uncoated valves are presented and analyzed in this paper.

Abstract The structure, microstructure, piezoelectric properties, ferroelectric properties and Curie temperature of (1- x )BiFeO 3 - x BaTiO 3 -Bi(Zn 0.5 Ti 0.5 )O 3 +MnO 2 +Li 2 CO 3 ceramics were investigated experimentally by improved solid-state reaction approach. The crystalline structures were examined by X-ray diffractometry. When x = 0.3, the rhombohedral and pseudocubic phases coexist in the ceramic structure. It is considered that the morphotropic phase boundary was formed here. At the same time, the piezoelectric performance d 33 , Curie temperature T C , and depolarization temperature are as high as 184 pC/N, 550°C, 530°C at x = 0.3, respectively. It is worth noting that when x = 0.24, the ceramics have a high T C = 580°C and low dielectric loss tan δ = 1.9%. These results show that the BFBT-BZT system ceramics are applicable ceramics with high piezoelectric properties in high temperature fields.
