Simulation of residual stresses and their effects on thermal barrier coating systems using finite element method

Thermal barrier coating(TBC)systems are widely used in industrial gas-turbine engines.However,premature failures have impaired the use of TBCs and cut down their lifetime,which requires a better understanding of their failure mechanisms.In the present study,experimental studies of isothermal cycling are firstly carried out with the observation and estimation of microstructures.According to the experimental results,a finite element model is established for the analysis of stress perpendicular to the TBC/BC interface.Detailed residual stress distributions in TBC are obtained to reflect the influence of mechanical properties,oxidation,and interfacial roughness.The calculated results show that the maximum tensile stress concentration appears at the peak of TBC and continues to increase with thermal cycles.Because of the microstructural characteristics of plasma-sprayed TBCs,cracks initialize in tensile stress concentration(TSC)regions at the peaks of TBC and propagate along the TBC/BC interface resulting in the spallation of TBC.Also,the inclusion of creep is crucial to failure prediction and is more important than the inclusion of sintering in the simulation.     

The effects of experimental parameters in the thermal diffusivity measurements of oriented polymer films using mirage effect: Computer simulation

Computer simulations have been carried out to study the effects of the experimental parameters when the mirage method has been applied to thermal diffusivity measurements of oriented polymer films. The parameters under study are the thermal diffusivity of the fluid surrounding the sample, the modulation frequency and the radius of the heating beam, the height and the radius of the probe beam, and the sample thickness and thermal diffusivity. Proposals for the optimum parameter values to maximize the measurement sensitivity for the sample diffusivity are made and the difficulties arising from the low diffusivity of the samples are described. It is also concluded that because the thermal properties of the fluid surrounding the sample have a strong contribution to the mirage signals, the signals do not include any simple feature corresponding to the sample diffusivity. Therefore it should be determined from the entire measurement data using regression methods.

A thermoelastic method to determine the thermal diffusivity

We present a method to measure the thermal diffusivity of metals. A homogeneous small heat source is fed into a cyclindrical sample of titanium by thermoelastic compression. This heating process is followed by a thermal relaxation controlled by the thermal diffusivity. The resulting temperature variation is detected by a miniature temperature sensor mounted on the lateral surface of the sample. The value so obtained for the thermal diffusivity of titanium is (6.6±0.2)·10⁻⁶ m²/s. Gruppo Nazionale Struttura della Materia del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche     

The reliability of optical fiber-TWRC technique in liquids thermal diffusivity measurement

The conventional thermal-wave resonator cavity (TWRC) technique was modified by using an optical fiber as both to transmit light beam and to produce thermal wave. This technique also known shortly as OF-TWRC was used to measure liquid thermal diffusivity in a thermally thick condition. The stability of the pyroelectric signal amplitude was good over long time duration. The thermal diffusivity values of various liquids obtained by this technique are in agreement with those of literature indicating this technique is reliable as compared to the conventional TWRC technique.

Thermal characterization of nanocrystalline porous CePO4 ceramics

A laser-induced photoacoustic technique was employed to investigate thermal transport through nanocrystalline CePO₄ samples prepared via the sol–gel route. Evaluation of thermal diffusivity was carried out using the one-dimensional model of Rosencwaig and Gersho for the reflection configuration of the photoacoustic method. Structural analyses of samples revealed that they are nanoporous in nature, possessing micron-sized grains. Analysis of results shows that thermal diffusivity value varies with sintering temperature. Results are explained in terms of the variation in porosity with sintering temperature and the effects of various scattering mechanisms on the propagation of phonons through the nanoporous ceramic matrix. Further analyses confirm that apart from porosity, grain boundary resistance and interface thermal resistance influence the effective value of thermal diffusivity of the samples under investigation.     

Simultaneous measurements of thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and thermopower with application to copper and ceramic superconductors

A home made experimental set-up allows us to measure the thermal conductivity, the thermopower and the thermal diffusivity simultaneously in the temperature range (20-300 K). Therefore the specific heat can be deduced. The role of a radiation shield is shown to be relevant. Tests of the system are made on a 99.9% pure Cu sample and two polycrystalline cuprate ceramics for illustration. Without any complicated optimisation, the technique indicates much promise already due to its efficiency and rapidity. Received 9 November 1998 and Received in final form 12 July 1999     

Characterization of thermal diffusivity of micro/nanoscale wires by transient photo-electro-thermal technique

In this work, a transient photon-electro-thermal (TPET) technique based on step laser heating and electrical thermal sensing is developed to characterize the thermophysical properties of one-dimensional micro/nanoscale conductive and nonconductive wires. In this method, the to-be-measured thin wire/tube is suspended over two electrodes and is irradiated with a step cw laser beam. The laser beam induces a transient temperature rise in the wire/tube, which will lead to a transient change of its electrical resistance. A dc current is applied to the sample, and the resulting transient voltage variation over the wire is measured and used to extract the thermophysical properties of the sample. A 25.4-μm thick Pt wire is used as the reference sample to verify this technique. Sound agreement is obtained between the measured thermal diffusivity and the reference value. Applying the TPET technique, one can measure the thermal diffusivity of conductive single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles and nonconductive cloth fibers. For nonconductive wires, a thin (∼ nm) metallic film is coated on the outside of the wire for electrical thermal sensing. The measured thermal diffusivity for the SWCNT bundle is 2.53×10^-5 m²/s, much less than the thermal diffusivity of graphite in the layer direction. For microscale cloth fibers, our experiment shows its thermal diffusivity is at the level of 10^-7 m²/s. PACS 78.20.Nv; 42.62.-b; 65.80+n; 66.30.Xj     

Laser-induced thermal lens study of the role of morphology and hydroxyl group in the evolution of thermal diffusivity of copper oxide

The paper explores the evolution of thermal behavior of the material by studying the variations in thermal diffusivity using the single beam thermal lens (TL) technique. For this purpose, the decomposition of Cu(OH)₂ into CuO is studied in a time range up to 120 h, by subjecting the sample to morphological, structural, and spectroscopic characterizations. The time evolution of thermal diffusivity can be divided into three regions for demonstrating the dynamics of the reaction. When the reaction is complete, the thermal diffusivity is also found to be saturated. In addition to the morphological modifications, from rods to flakes, the variations in the amount of hydroxyl group are attributed to be responsible for the enhancement of base fluid's thermal diffusivity by 165%. Thus the study unveils the role of hydroxyl groups in the thermal behavior of CuO.     

Effect of Young's modulus evolution on residual stress measurement of thermal barrier coatings by X-ray diffraction

Subjected to thermal cycling, the apparent Young's modulus of air plasma-sprayed (APS) 8 wt.% Y₂O₃-stabilized ZrO₂ (8YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) was measured by nanoindentation. Owing to the effects of sintering and porous microstructure, the apparent Young's modulus follows a Weibull distribution and changes from 50 to 93 GPa with an increase of thermal cycling. The evolution of residual stresses in the top coating of an 8YSZ TBC system was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The residual stresses derived from the XRD data are well consistent with that obtained by the Vickers indention. It is shown that the evolution of Young's modulus plays an important role in improving the measurement precision of residual stresses in TBCs by XRD.     

Photothermal probe beam deflection measurement of thermal diffusivity of atmospheric air

We have used a modified photothermal probe beam deflection system with a back pumping configuration for the measurements of the temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity of atmospheric air. The results are consistent and reasonably well agree with the literature values. The measured thermal diffusivity values are the same for the same measuring temperature regardless of the beam offsets and the deflecting surface temperatures. For the gas with known temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity, this method can be used to deduce the temperature of a gas from the measured thermal diffusivity value.     

Perturbation theories behind thermal mode spectroscopy for high-accuracy measurement of thermal diffusivity of solids

Thermal mode spectroscopy (TMS) has been recently proposed for accurately measuring thermal diffusivity of solids from a temperature decay rate of a specific thermal mode selected by three-dimensional (anti)nodal information [Phys. Rev. Lett., 117, 195901 (2016)]. In this paper, we find out the following advantages of TMS by use of perturbation analyses. First, TMS is applicable to the measurement of high-thermal diffusivity with a small-size specimen. Second, it is less affected by thermally resistive films on a specimen in the sense that the resistance at the interface does not affect the first-order correction of thermal diffusivity. Third, it can perform doubly accurate measurement of the thermal diffusivity specified at a thermal equilibrium state even if the diffusivity depends on temperature in the sense that the measurement can be performed within tiny temperature difference from the given state and that the decay rate of the slowest decaying mode is not affected by the dependence.

An improved photothermal gas analyser: Monitoring of simultaneous thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity

In this paper we describe a new, simple and fast photothermal method for characterizing simultaneously the thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity. The improved PTGA essentially combines a photoacoustic cell and a thermal wave pyroelectric cell enclosed in a single compact gas analyzer. The photo- acoustic cell is kept filled with nitrogen and sealed. The pyroelectric cell is also filled with nitrogen and after some warm up time, the nitrogen is exchanged to the gas of interest. It is shown that the analysis of the transient and saturation signals of both photoacoustic and pyroelectric cells are capable of measuring the thermal properties with an accuracy of 5%. The measurements were performed for hydrocarbons as ethane and propane, which are combustible gases. Knowing thermal diffusivity and effusivity, others important properties can be determinate: the thermal conductivity and the volumetric thermal capacity.     

Enhancement of the thermal transport in a culture medium with Au nanoparticles

In this work, it is reported the gold nanoparticles synthesis, their characterization, and their application to the enhancement of the thermal transport in a cellular culture medium. The Au nanoparticles (NPs), with average size of 10 nm, contained into a culture medium (DMEM (1)/F12(1)) (CM) increased considerably the heat transfer in the medium. Thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) was used to measure the thermal diffusivity of the nanofluids. The characteristic time constant of the transient thermal lens was obtained by fitting the theoretical expression, for transient thermal lens, to the experimental data. Our results show that the thermal diffusivity of the culture medium is highly sensitive to the Au nanoparticle concentration and size. The ability to modify the thermal properties to nanometer scale becomes very important in medical applications as in the case of cancer treatment by using photodynamic therapy (PDT). A complementary study with UV-vis and TEM techniques was performed to characterize the Au nanoparticles.
