An investigation of the heat generated during cyclic loading of two glassy polymers. Part II: Thermal analysis

چکیده
This paper presents the thermal analysis of cyclic compression experiments which were carried out on commercial PC and PMMA cylindrical specimens. The thermal problem is solved numerically (®nite element). Uniform internal heat generation is assessed from the experimental evolution of the hysteretic energy rate throughout the experiment. The results show a very good agreement between the calculated and the measured temperatures. The temperature peak which characterized the PC specimens and the continuously rising temperature of the PMMA cylinders are very well reproduced using simple assumptions of uniform heat generation and a constant ratio of the thermal to mechanical power conversion (b 0:5). The mathematical solution provides information on the temperature distribution and its dependence on the boundary conditions (insulation of the specimen from the platens). These results are discussed with respect to surface temperature sensing of polymeric materials. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A two-dimensional transient axi-symmetric model was developed to study the effects of various thermal and geometric parameters on cyclic heating and cooling modes of a phase-change thermal energy storage system. The high-temperature thermal energy storage device utilizes LiH for heat sink applications to store the waste heat generated during power-burst periods. The stored heat is then discharg...
