Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Life Assessment of a Diesel Engine Piston

Thermo-mechanical analysis of a coated cylinder head

This paper presents finite element analysis (FEA) of a coated and uncoated cylinder heads of a diesel engine to examine the distribution of temperature and stress. A thermal barrier coating system was applied on the combustion chamber of the cylinder heads, consists of two-layer systems: a ceramic top coat (TC), made of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), ZrO2-8%Y2O3 and also a metallic bond coat...

The Effect of Controlled Thermo Mechanical Processing on the Properties of a High Strength Steel

In this paper, an ultra low carbon High Strength Low Alloy Grade Steel was subjected to a two-step forging process and this was followed by different post cooling methods. The highest strength was obtained at a faster cooling rate due to the highly dislocated acicular ferrite structure with the fine precipitation of microalloying carbides and carbonitrides. At a slow cooling rate, the strength ...

Thermo-Electric Properties of One-Dimensional Constrictions

This thesis describes low-temperature transport measurements in low-dimensional systems fabricated in high-mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. These lowdimensional systems are formed by electrostatically constricting the electrons in the two-dimensional electron gas at the interface of the heterostructure, by applying a voltage to a pair of metallic gates known as a split-gate. At low temper...

Electric Double Layer Phenomena: A Review on Models and Problems

Electric double layer lies in the heart of modern day electrochemical energy storage devices like batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors and water filtration membranes. The advent of nanostructured rough and porous electrodes has open new possibilities and new challenges. This review summarizes the theoretical development in the electric double layer theory on porous and rough electrodes. Both ...
