Two-scale analysis method for predicting heat transfer performance of composite materials with random grain distribution

A two-scale analysis (TSA) method for predicting the heat transfer performance of composite materials with the random distribution of same-scale grains is presented. First the representation of the materials with the random distribution is briefly described. Then the two-scale analysis formulation of heat transfer behavior of the materials with random grain distribution of small periodicity is formally derived by means of construction way for each cell. Finally the numerical result on the heat transfer parameters of composite materials is shown. The numerical result shows that TSA is effective to predict the heat transfer performance of composite materials with random grain distribution.     

A finite element model based on statistical two-scale analysis for equivalent heat transfer parameters of composite material with random grains

In this paper, a new finite element model based on statistical two-scale analysis for predicting the equivalent heat transfer parameters of the composite material with random grains is presented and its convergence, its error result and the symmetry, positive property of equivalent heat transfer parameters matrix are also proved. Firstly, some definitions of the probability space and the composite material with random grains are described and the STSA formulation predicting the equivalent heat transfer parameters of the composite material are briefly reviewed. Next, a finite element formulation and its corresponding procedure for the composite material with random grains is described. Then, the convergence, the error estimate and the symmetry, positive property of the equivalent heat transfer parameters matrix computed by FE based on STSA are proved. The numerical result shows the validity of the FE model based on STSA and the convergence and the symmetry, positive property of the equivalent heat transfer parameter matrix of the composite material with random grains by the FE model.     

On averaging of the non-periodic conductivity coefficient using two-scale extensions

We consider a second order elliptic equation with known rapidly oscillated coefficient. The equation appears to describe such problems as heat transfer in composite materials, flow in non-homogeneous porous media as well as in many others. For the periodic coefficient the averaging procedure is well known. The non-periodic case is still a challenging problem. We present a two-scale extension approach and apply it on one numerical example in 2D. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Multiscale computational method for thermoelastic problems of composite materials with orthogonal periodic configurations

This study develops a novel multiscale computational method for thermoelastic problems of composite materials with orthogonal periodic configurations. Firstly, the multiscale asymptotic analysis for these multiscale problems is given successfully, and the formal second-order two-scale approximate solutions for these multiscale problems are constructed based on the above-mentioned analysis. Then, the error estimates for the second-order two-scale (SOTS) solutions are obtained. Furthermore, the corresponding SOTS numerical algorithm based on finite element method (FEM) is brought forward in details. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of our multiscale computational method. Moreover, our multiscale computational method can accurately capture the local thermoelastic responses in composite block structure, plate, cylindrical and doubly-curved shallow shells.     

Stochastic homogenization of heat transfer in polycrystals with nonlinear contact conductivities

The heat transfer problem in a polycrystal with nonlinear jump conditions on the grain boundaries will be homogenized using the method of stochastic two-scale convergence developed by Zhikov and Pyatnitskii [V.V. Zhikov and A.L. Pyatnitskii, Homogenization of random singular structures and random measures, Izv. Math. 70(1) (2006), pp. 19–67] and recently extended by the author [M. Heida, An extension of stochastic two-scale convergence and application, Asympt. Anal. (2010) (in press)]. It will be shown that for monotone Lipschitz jump conditions differentiable in 0, the nonlinearity vanishes in the limit. Additionally, existing Poincaré inequalities will be extended to more general geometric settings with the only restriction of local C ¹-interfaces with finite intensity. In particular, the result can now be applied to the Poisson–Voronoi tessellation.     

Multi-scale method for the quasi-periodic structures of composite materials

In this paper, we shall present a new second-order and two-scale approximate solution of boundary value problems for the linear elasticity systems with quasi-periodic structures by multi-scale analysis. The computation of strain and stress is presented here. This idea can apply to the damage computation of composite materials. Because the computation of the local stress by this method having more precision, it can provide some inspiration for construct optimal design. Finally numerical results show that the method presented in this paper is effective and reliable.     

Calculation of effective moduli of composite materials

Effective properties of composite and porous materials are determined by using an approach based on two-scale asymptotic expansions. Explicit approximate formulas are derived for the effective moduli of composite and porous materials of elongated structures. A numerical method is proposed for finding solutions to cell problems, which are used to determine “exact” effective moduli. Examples are computed for a two-dimensional porous medium with variously shaped pores and various degrees of “elongation.” The effective moduli produced by the explicit approximate formulas prove to be similar to those found by numerically solving cell problems.

Multiscale computational method for nonstationary integrated heat transfer problem in periodic porous materials

This article discusses multiscale analysis and numerical algorithm for the nonstationary integrated heat transfer problem with rapidly oscillating coefficients. The multiscale asymptotic expansion of the solution for this kind of problems is presented first. Then, error estimates of the multiscale approximate solution are derived, and a numerical algorithm based on the multiscale method for temperature field is introduced. Finally, using some numerical models, we verify the validity and relevancy of the proposed algorithm. The numerical results show that the algorithm is effective to predict the heat transfer performance of porous materials, and support the convergence theorem reported in this article. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Finite-element modeling of the particle clustering effect in a powder-metallurgy-processed ceramic-particle-reinforced metal matrix composite on its mechanical properties

A new numerical method is proposed to predict the effect of particle clustering on grain boundaries in a ceramic- particle-reinforced metal matrix composite on its mechanical properties, and micromechanical finite-element simulation of stress–strain responses in composites with random and clustered arrangements of ceramic particles are carried out. A particular material modeled and analyzed is a TiC-particle-reinforced Al matrix composite processed by powder metallurgy. A representative volume element of a composite microstructure with 5 vol.% TiC is reconstructed based on the tetrakaidecahedral grain boundary structure by using a modified random sequential adsorption. The model proposed in this study accurately represents the stress concentrations and particle-particle interactions during deformation of the powder-metallurgy-processed composite. A comparison with the random-arrangement model shows that the present numerical approach is more accurate in simulating the behavior of the composite material.

Analytic solutions for a rotating radial fin of rectangular and various convex parabolic profiles

The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used to develop an analytical solution for the thermal performance of a radial fin of rectangular and various convex parabolic profiles mounted on a rotating shaft and losing heat by convection to its surroundings. The convection heat transfer coefficient is assumed to be a function of both the radial coordinate and the angular speed of the shaft. Results are presented for the temperature distribution, heat transfer rate, and the fin efficiency illustrating the effect of thickness profile, the ratio of outer to inner radius, and the angular speed of the shaft. Comparison of HAM results with the direct numerical solutions shows that the analytic results produced by HAM are highly accurate over a wide range of parameters that are likely to be encountered in practice.
