Isogeometric Analysis of Coupled Thermo-Mechanical Phase-Field Models for Shape Memory Alloys Using Distributed Computing

A variational formulation and numerical implementation of the phase-field models for shape memory alloys using distributed computing are reported in the paper. The numerical implementation is based on the isogeometric analysis framework, constituting the rich NURBS basis functions. The phase field models are developed using the strain based order parameter and the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The fo...

Simulating the Swissair Flight 111 In-Flight Fire Using the CFD Fire Simulation Software SMARTFIRE

AT 8.18pm on 2 September 1998, Swissair Flight 111 (SR 111), took off from New York’s JFK airport bound for Geneva, Switzerland. Tragically, the MD-11 aircraft never arrived. According to the crash investigation report, published on 27 March 2003, electrical arcing in the ceiling void cabling was the most likely cause of the fire that brought down the aircraft. No one on board was aware of the ...

Efficient weakly coupled projection basis for the reduction of thermo-mechanical models

In the work presented in this contribution we have investigated the reduction of dynamical thermo-mechanical systems and we propose a new reduction method that can be seen as an extension of the common Craig-Bampton method [2] where multiphysics is now implicitly included in the projection basis. The efficiency of this new approach has been evaluated in multiple configuration of a representativ...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...
