  2. 1. Thermal stresses in load-bearing glass-timber components

    Author : Karin Lundstedt; Erik Serrano; Ola Dahlblom; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Thermal stresses; thermal failure; glass and wood construction; incident solar radiation; shading; cracks; temperature difference; finite element method.; Technology byts ev till Engineering ; Teknik;

    Abstract : Thermal stresses can arise in glass used in architectonic realisations in buildings as a result of solar irradiation:  that is, sunlight.  The magnitude of these thermal stresses depends on the temperature conditions in the glass in terms of the temperature differences between warm and cold areas.

  5. 3. Concrete creep and thermal stresses : new creep models and their effects on stress development

    Author : Gustaf Westman; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the problem of creep in concrete and its influence on thermal stress development. New test frames were developed for creep of high performance concrete and for measurements of thermal stress development. Tests were performed on both normal strength and high performance concretes.

  6. 4. Design of Thermal Barrier Coatings : A modelling approach

    Author : Mohit Kumar Gupta; Per Nylén; Nicolaie Markocsan; Christer Persson; Lech Pawlowski; Högskolan Väst; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal barrier coatings; Microstructure; Thermal conductivity; Young’s modulus; Interface roughness; Thermally grown oxide; Lifetime; Finite element modelling; Design; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

    Abstract : Atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are commonly used for thermal protection of components in modern gas turbine application such as power generation, marine and aero engines. TBC is a duplex material system consisting of an insulating ceramic topcoat layer and an intermetallic bondcoat layer. READ MORE

  7. 5. Thermal Barrier Coatings : Failure Mechanisms and Life Prediction

    Author : Krishna Praveen Jonnalagadda; Ru Lin Peng; Xin-Hai Li; Robert Eriksson; Nicholls John; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) use in the hot sections of gas turbine engine enables them to run at higher temperatures, and as a consequence, achieve higher thermal efficiency. For full operational exploitation of TBCs, understanding their failure and knowing the service life is essential. READ MORE
