        A fuel cell is an electro-chemical tool capable of converting chemical energy into electricity. High operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cell, between 700oC to 1000oC, causes thermal stress. Thermal stress causes gas escape, structure variability and cease operation of the SOFC before its lifetime.The purpose of the current paper is to present a method that predicts the thermal stress distribution in an anisotropic porous anode of planar SOFC. The coupled governing non-linear differential equations, heat transfer, fluid flow, mass transfer, mass continuity, and momentum are solved numerically. A code based oncomputational fluid dynamics (CFD), computational structural mechanics and finite element method (FEM) is developed and utilized. The code uses the generated data inside the porous anode in order to detect the temperature and the stress distribution using the Darcy’s law and the Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical results used to govern the areas of high values of stresses were higher than the yield strength of materials. The results show that a highest thermal stress occurs at lower corners of the anode. The concentrated temperature occurs at the middle of the electrolyte-anode whereas the maximum pressure occurs at the middle of the upper and lower section of the anode. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, mechanical buckling analysis of composite annular sector plates with bean shape cut out is studied. Composite material sector plate made of Glass-Epoxy and Graphite-Epoxy with eight layers with same thickness but different fiber angles for each layer. Mechanical loading to form of uniform pressure loading in radial, environmental and biaxial directions is assumed. The method used in this analysis is three dimensional (3D) finite elements based on the elasticity relations. With zero first and second variation of potential energy of the entire annular sector plate, we find stability equation. Green non-linear displacement strain relations to obtain geometric stiffness matrix is ​​used. Unlike many studies, in present work three dimensional finite elements method has been used with an eight node element and meshing in the thickness direction is done, too. The bean shaped cut out in the sector has increased the complexity of the analysis. The continuing, effect of different parameters including cut out dimensions, fiber angles of layers, loading direction and dimensions of the annular sector plate on the mechanical buckling load has been investigated and interesting results have been obtained. تفاصيل المقالة

        Over the last several decades, implants have been used to treat fractures and promote healing. The most important reason for deformation and shortening of the bone during healing due to loading on the nails is a lack of strength of the intramedullary nail. Materials with very fine grain dimensions are considered for such purposes. Ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials have structural elements with very fine grain sizes. Several methods for producing UFG materials have been developed, one of which is the top-down approach, which refines coarse-grained metals via severe plastic deformation (SPD). The SPD technique has several advantages that set it apart from other methods of synthesizing. Two of the SPD methods used in this study were the repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS) process and the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process on a 316L stainless steel rod. Mechanical tests were performed on the rods produced using these methods. Under loading, simulation results revealed that the bone implanted by the RCS rod has greater structural stiffness than the bone implanted by an ECAPed 316L stainless steel rod. تفاصيل المقالة

        The method of intramedullary nailing, which leads to the alignment of the diaphyseal broken bone, is one of the diaphyseal fractured bone healing novelties. The rods utilized must be strong enough to withstand the forces exerted by the transplanted bone. Today, various researchers are interested in using severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods to improve the mechanical characteristics of metals. One of the SPD procedures used in this study was repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS) on a 316L stainless steel rod. After conducting mechanical characteristics tests on the rods produced using this approach, ABAQUS software was utilized to simulate the intramedullary nailing finite element method (FEM). The results of the experiments revealed that raising the number of pressing stages to eight significantly increases the hardness of the samples. The simulation findings revealed that the bone sample implanted by the rod manufactured by the aforementioned procedure has a higher structural hardness than the bone implanted by a basic 316L stainless steel rod under various stress conditions. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, experimental results of a deep drawing processto produce a cylinder of high strength steel with a spherical head were compared with it’s simulation results and three proposal design types. Meanwhile, the amount of limiting draw ratio in some stages was determined. Accuracy and precision of the results of a finite element software to predicting the multi stage deep drawing process of high-strength thin steel sheets was measured. ABAQUS version 6-9-3 was used to simulate the process. In this research, the raw material was a circular blank of annealed steel AISI-4130 with 2 mm thickness that in experimental test, subjected to one drawing stages, three redrawing stage and two heat treatment stages. The uni-axial tensile test was performed to determine the mechanical properties of the steel sheet. Numerical thickness distribution was compared with the experimental results in different stages of deep drawing and the accuracy was good (about 2.55%). Base on this results the proposal designs were simulated to introduce the properties of the most suitable design types. تفاصيل المقالة

        Because of their wide application in industries requiring high pressure and temperature, manufacturing square and rectangular pipes have attracted more attention than ever before.There are various methods such as extrusion, tensile and stress for manufacturing square pipes. Another method on which studies have focused in recent years is the re-forming of round pipes in order to turn them into square or rectangular ones. The methods suggested in these researches are all applicable for the manufacture of square pipes without the possibility of manufacturing rectangular pipes. The method introduced in this paper consists of filling the pipe with bismuth and rolling it in three successive stages. In this research, first, the intended process is simulated in Abaqus software, and then a real sample is manufactured by an experimental test. The manufactured sample is checked with regard to its dimensions and is compared with the results obtained from the simulation. The results of the study show that the method of filling the pipe with bismuth and moving it through three rollers is an appropriate method for the manufacture of thin-walled pipes with rectangular cross-section. تفاصيل المقالة
