چکیده

An advanced boundary element method (BEM) is developed in this paper for analyzing thin layered structures, such as thin films and coatings, under the thermal loading. The boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation for steady-state thermoelasticity is reviewed and a special case, that is, the BIE for a uniform distribution of the temperature change, is presented. The new nearly-singular integrals arising from the applications of the BIE/BEM to thin layered structures under thermal loading are treated in the same way as developed earlier for thin structures under the mechanical loading. Three 2-D test problems involving layered thin films and coatings on an elastic body are studied using the developed thermal BEM and a commercial FEM software. Numerical results for displacements and interfacial stresses demonstrate that the developed BIE/BEM remains to be very accurate, efficient in modeling, and surprisingly stable, for thin elastic materials with the thickness-to-length ratios down to 10 (the nano-scale). This thermal BEM capability can be employed to investigate other more important and realistic thin film and coating problems, such as residual stresses, interfacial crack initiation and propagation (peelingoff), in electronic packaging or other engineering applications.

A Boundary Elements and Particular Integrals Implementation for Thermoelastic Stress Analysis

A formulation and an implementation of two-dimensional Boundary Element Method (BEM) analysis for steady state, uncoupled thermoelastic problems is presented. This approach differs from other treatments of thermal loads in BEM analysis in which the domain integrals due to the thermal gradients are to be incorporated in the analysis via particular-integrals. Thus unlike Finite Elements or Field ...

Slip flow of an optically thin radiating non-Gray couple stress fluid past a stretching sheet

This paper addresses the combined effects of couple stresses, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and slip condition on a free convective flow of a couple stress fluid induced by a vertical stretching sheet. The Cogley- Vincenti-Gilles equilibrium model is employed to include the effects of thermal radiation in the study. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system o...
