Several extensions to the Thelandersson phenomenological model for concrete under transient high temperatures are explored. These include novel expressions for the temperature degradation of the elastic modulus and the temperature dependency of the coefficient of the free thermal strain. Furthermore, a coefficient of thermo mechanical strain is proposed as a bi-linear function of temperature. Good qualitative agreement with various test results taken from the literature is demonstrated. Further extensions include the effects of plastic straining and temperature dependent Poisson's ratio. The models performance is illustrated on several simple benchmark problems under uniaxial and biaxial stress states.

In this paper we recall briefly the constitutive equations for solids subjected to thermal strain taking in account the bounded tensile stress of the material. In view to solve the equilibrium problem via the finite element method using the Newton Raphson procedure, we show that the tangent elasticity tensor is semi-definite positive. Therefore, in order to obtain a convergent numerical method, the constitutive equation needs to be modified. Specifically, the dependency of the stress by the anelastic deformation is made explicit by means of a parameter ${\delta}$, varying from 0 to 1, that factorizes the elastic tensor. This parameterization, for ${\delta}$ near to 0, assures the positiveness of the tangent elasticity tensor and enforces the convergence of the numerical method. Some numerical examples are illustrated.

An investigation of the nonlinear thermal buckling behavior of a nano-sized beam constructed from intelligent materials called piezo-magnetic materials has been presented in this article. The nano-sized beam geometry has been considered based on two assumptions: an ideal straight beam and an imperfect beam. For incorporating nano-size impacts, the nano-sized beam formulation has been presented according to nonlocal elasticity. After establishing the governing equations based on classic beam theory and nonlocal elasticity, the nonlinear buckling path has been obtained via Galerkin's method together with an analytical trend. The dependency of buckling path to piezo-magnetic material composition, electro-magnetic fields and geometry imperfectness has been studied in detail.

Dynamic deflection analysis of sandwich beams with cellular core under thermal and pulse loads has been performed in the present article. The cellular core sandwich beam has two layers fortified by graphene oxide powder (GOP) which are micromechanically modeled by Halpin-Tsai formulation. The pulse load has blast type and is applied on the top side of sandwich beam. The system of equations has been developed based on higher-order beam theory and Ritz method. Then, they are solved in Laplace domain to derive the dynamic deflections. The dependency of beam deflection on temperature variation, GOP content, pulse load duration/location and core relative density has been studied in detail.

In the present study, the effects of thermal loading on the buckling and resonance frequency of graphene platelets (GPL) reinforced nano-composites are examined. Functionally graded (FG) material properties are considered in thickness direction for the thermal responses of the composite. The equivalent material properties are obtained using Halphin-Tsai nano-mechanical model for composite layers. Moreover, the effects of nano-scale sizes are taken into account, employing functionally modified couple stress (FMCS) parameter. In this regard, for the first time, it is demonstrated that at certain values of GPL weight fraction, thermal buckling occurs. In obtaining results of vibrational behavior, both analytical solution and deep neural network (DNN) methods are used. The DNN method needs low computational costs to predict the resonance behavior. A comprehensive parametric study is conducted to indicate the effects of several geometrical, material, and loading conditions on the vibrational and buckling behavior of cylindrical shell structures made of GPL-nanocomposites. It is shown that the effect of temperature change on the occurrence of buckling is vital while it has a negligible impact on the resonance frequency of the structure. Moreover, the size-dependency of the results is demonstrated, and it cannot be neglected in nano-scales.

Equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations are used to evaluate the transport coefficients of argonkrypton mixtures at two liquid states (state A: 94.4 K and 1 atm; state B: 135 K and 39.5 atm) via modified Green-Kubo formulas. The composition dependency of the volume at state A obeys close to the linear model for ideal liquid mixture, while that at state B differs from the linear model probably due to the high pressure. The radial distribution functions for the Ar-Kr mixture (x = 2/3) show a mixing effect: the first peak of g11 is higher than that of g(r) for pure Ar and the first peak of g22 is lower than that of g(r) for pure Kr. An exponential model of engineering correlation for diffusion coefficient (D) and shear viscosity (η) is superior to the simple linear model for ideal liquid mixtures. All three components of thermal conductivity (λpm, λtm, and λti) at state A and hence the total thermal conductivity decrease with the increase of x. At state B, the change in λtm is dominant over those in λpm and λti, and hence the total thermal conductivity decrease with the increase of x.

A performance analysis of the regenerative gas turbine system with afterfogging is carried out. Because of the high temperature at the outlet of air compressor, afterfogging has a potential of improved recuperation of exhaust heat than inlet fogging. Thermodynamic analysis model of the gas turbine system is developed by using an ideal gas assumption. Using the model, the effects of pressure ratio, water injection ratio, and ambient temperature are investigated parametrically on thermal efficiency and specific power of the cycle. The dependency of pressure ratio giving peak thermal efficiency is also investigated. The results of numerical computation for the typical cases show that the regenerative gas turbine system with afterfogging can make a notable enhancement of thermal efficiency and specific power. In addition, the peak thermal efficiency is shown to decrease almost linearly with ambient temperature.

In the present study, thermo-electro-mechanical vibration characteristics of functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) Timoshenko nanobeams subjected to in-plane thermal loads and applied electric voltage are carried out by presenting a Navier type solution for the first time. Three kinds of thermal loading, namely, uniform, linear and non-linear temperature rises through the thickness direction are considered. Thermo-electro-mechanical properties of FGP nanobeam are supposed to vary smoothly and continuously throughout the thickness based on power-law model. Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory is exploited to describe the size dependency of nanobeam. Using Hamilton's principle, the nonlocal equations of motion together with corresponding boundary conditions based on Timoshenko beam theory are obtained for the free vibration analysis of graded piezoelectric nanobeams including size effect and they are solved applying analytical solution. According to the numerical results, it is revealed that the proposed modeling can provide accurate frequency results of the FGP nanobeams as compared to some cases in the literature. In following a parametric study is accompanied to examine the effects of several parameters such as various temperature distributions, external electric voltage, power-law index, nonlocal parameter and mode number on the natural frequencies of the size-dependent FGP nanobeams in detail. It is found that the small scale effect and thermo-electrical loading have a significant effect on natural frequencies of FGP nanobeams.

In the present paper a transient three-dimensional thermo-mechanical model for concrete is presented. For given boundary conditions, temperature distribution is calculated by employing a three-dimensional transient thermal finite element analysis. Thermal properties of concrete are assumed to be constant and independent of the stress-strain distribution. In the thermo-mechanical model for concrete the total strain tensor is decomposed into pure mechanical strain, free thermal strain and load induced thermal strain. The mechanical strain is calculated by using temperature dependent microplane model for concrete (O$\check{z}$bolt, et al. 2001). The dependency of the macroscopic concrete properties (Young's modulus, tensile and compressive strengths and fracture energy) on temperature is based on the available experimental database. The stress independent free thermal strain is calculated according to the proposal of Nielsen, et al. (2001). The load induced thermal strain is obtained by employing the biparabolic model, which was recently proposed by Nielsen, et al. (2004). It is assumed that the total load induced thermal strain is irrecoverable, i.e., creep component is neglected. The model is implemented into a three-dimensional FE code. The performance of headed stud anchors exposed to fire was studied. Three-dimensional transient thermal FE analysis was carried out for three embedment depths and for four thermal loading histories. The results of the analysis show that the resistance of anchors can be significantly reduced if they are exposed to fire. The largest reduction of the load capacity was obtained for anchors with relatively small embedment depths. The numerical results agree well with the available experimental evidence.

1) 2성분계 도지두부의 유효열전도도($\lambda_e$)를 $0\sim20^{\circ}C$ 및$-5\sim-20^{\circ}C$의 범위내에서 측정한 결과, 수분함양의 증감에 따라 $\lambda_e$값도 증감했으며, 동결점이상의 온도대에서는 온도의 상승과 함께 $\lambda_e$값도 커지고, 동결점 이하에서는 온도의 하강과 함께 $\lambda_e$값이 커졌다. 2) 3성분계 두부의 유효열전도는 수분함양이 증가함에 따라 $\lambda_e$값은 커져가나 지질의 함양이 증가함에 따라 $\lambda_e$값은 작아졌다. $\lambda_e$값의 온도의존성은 2성분계도지두부의 경우와 유사했다. 3)대대단백질의 고유열전도도는 미동결상태에서 $\lambda_p=0.300[W/m{\bullet}k](0\sim-20^{\circ}C)$이고, 동결상태에서 $\lambda_p=0.488[W/m{\bullet}k](-5\sim-20^{\circ}C)$였으며 이들은 실험온도 범위내에서 온도의존성을 나타내지 않았다. 4) 대두단상질의 고유열전도도의 추정치 $\lambda_p=0.300$과 $\lambda_p=0.488$의 타당성을 지질의 함양이 상이한 2종류의 3성분계 두부에 적용한 결과, 실측치와 계산치는 잘 일치했다.
