The metal AM method can produce complex parts with effective cost. This process, however, involves rapid heating and solidification, resulting in a high thermal gradient. It causes undesired residual stress and distortion that significantly affects the final product’s integrity. This study investigates the features of a high thermal gradient, structural deformation, and residual stress involved in the powder bed fusion process in virtual environments. Powder bed fusion is an additive manufacturing method that uses a laser or electron beam to melt and fuse the metal material to form a three-dimensional part. A simulation model was developed using layer-to-layer scanning paths based on a 3D geometry in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Commercial finite element analysis (FEA) software, Abaqus CAE, is used for the sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical analysis. The temperature history is first calculated in an uncoupled thermal analysis and introduced as a predefined field in the subsequent structural analysis. In the sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical analysis, the thermal evolution of the problem affects the structural response, but the temperature field is not dependent on the stress field. Heat transfer in additive manufacturing is time-dependent, and temperature distribution in an additively manufactured part is non-uniform. Hence a time-dependent heat conduction problem is solved to analyze the process. After the thermal analysis is completed, the quasi-static equilibrium of stress is determined for each time step. An isotropic hardening rule was utilized to consider the evolution of plastic deformation.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83854299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This kind of structures is prone to buckling failure when subjected to axial compression loads. Machining the shell into corrugated shape is an effective method to prevent buckling. Rational design of corrugated shells can improve the load carrying efficiency of shell structures. However, there are few studies focused on the effects of various parameters on the longitudinal corrugated cylindrical shell buckling. In this paper, numerical studies are performed to analyze the factors affecting the buckling behaviors of thin-walled longitudinal corrugated cylindrical shells under axial compression loads. The cross section of the corrugated shell is obtained by superposing the sine curve on the reference circle. The critical buckling load, buckling mode and imperfection sensitivity of the longitudinal corrugated cylindrical shells are examined and compared with ordinary cylindrical shells. The effects of shell dimensions and material yield strength are taken into account. In addition, the influence of cross section shape parameters on the critical buckling load is considered, including the amplitude A and wave number k. Results show that the axial load carrying capacity of longitudinal corrugated cylindrical shells is better than ordinary cylindrical shells, and rational design of cross section shape can enhance the stability of corrugated shells. This work can provide some reference for relevant experimental studies. Furthermore, it can also give some guides for the application of thin-walled longitudinal corrugated cylindrical shells in actual engineering.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80579540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This adverse trend is caused by a degradation mechanism that affecting heat exchange efficiency in certain areas of the process systems. The main contributor to the RIZIH temperature increase is the fouling in the preheaters and steam generator/boilers due to magnetite deposits on tube internal diameters. The RIZIH temperature rise had caused units de-rates to ensure the reactor safety and comply with the regulatory requirements. As reported in a previous PVP paper (PVP2017-65096), multiple design alternatives were considered and evaluated to address the adverse condition, the best design option with a piping modification by adding external feedwater bypass of high pressure heater was selected to improve RIZIH temperature control. Following the conceptual engineering, preliminary design and detail design, the engineering change was implemented in two CANDU reactor units between 2018 and 2019. This paper reports out the field physical implementations and discusses the effectiveness of the design change on mitigating the RIZIH temperature rise, it also presents the operational and financial benefits actualized through observations of the two implementing units.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"52 7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73486010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional TMM usually generate instable matrix and inaccurate calculation results for Phononic crystals (PCs) pipeline. Under the assumption that periodic distribution of pipeline structure with no intermediate excitation, the main idea of the improved algorithm is to reasonably divide finite periodic pipeline into several effective segments, then the transfer relationship of state vector for each connected pipe part could be expressed individually, thereby realizing the calculation order reduction by expanding the dimension of overall stiffness matrix. This improved algorithm could effectively avoid cumulative error caused by diagonal sparse matrix operations, thus getting true dynamic response to calculate exact FRF curves. Moreover, this algorithm could fundamentally improve the accuracy and stability of traditional TMM calculations. The transverse FRF for finite periods calculated by improved TMM shows excellent consistency with corresponding band gap structures (BGs), validate the correctness of derived theory and algorithm. This improved TMM algorithm supplies an effective method for FRF calculation of finite pipeline periods, and also provide effective verification of BGs for infinite structures, which could guide the vibration and noise reduction design of pipeline system.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81902595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high pressure of the blow and flashing of the liquid can result in significant forces on pipe bends and other geometrical features. Analysis and prediction of such forces are of importance for the structural design and anchoring of the piping. Another concern for a liquid blow under high pressure is the potential for condensation-induced hydraulic shock. The collapse of the flashed vapor to the liquid phase creating shock waves of large amplitudes is a serious safety concern.\u0000 The CFD model used the homogeneous mixture model with a flashing model for phase change of the fluid. The properties of the fluid were defined by a custom function which interpolated between tabulated values of the thermodynamic and transport properties. The CFD simulations confirmed the risk of condensation hydraulic shock when the blow down is initiated with empty pipes and also demonstrated that a hydraulic shock could be prevented with liquid-filled condition. The pipework geometry was also optimized to reduce the forces acting at the junctions.

Evaluation of material degradation due to the unique operating environment requires testing of ex-service spring material by compressing short spring segments by two diametrically opposed forces. The load vs. displacement results combined with the geometry allows for the stress-strain behavior to be derived. The test specimens are effectively unmodified from the as-received condition so accurate characterization of the geometry is required. Since the test response is mainly bending, error in the radial section dimension is augmented by powers of 2 and 3 when calculating bending stress and specimen stiffness respectively. Additional complications come from nonuniform loading of the coils due to end effects.\u0000 Detailed analysis that accounts for end effects is applied to the linear elastic portion of the load curve to accurately quantify the specimen dimensions. With geometry determined, the nonlinear portion of the tensile curve is adjusted to reproduce the entire load curve up to the failure point.
