Abstract The possibility of accurately identifying thermal material parameters on the basis a simple tension test is presented, using parameter identification framework for thermo-mechanically coupled models full field displacement and temperature measurements. Main objective to show impact model formulation results such an with respect accuracy uniqueness result. To do so, as proof concept, da...

An important technical issue in the enhanced geothermal system (EGS) is process of fracture shear and dilation, network propagation induced seismicity. EGS development requires an ability to reliably predict network’s permeability evolution. Laboratory field studies such as Collab Utah FORGE, modeling simulations provide valuable lessons for successful commercial design. In this work we present...

A thermally fixed photorefractive Bragg grating is written in a single-mode Ti:Fe:Er:LiNbO3 channel waveguide and used to develop a distributed feedback-distributed Bragg reflector coupled cavity laser with a second broadband dielectric cavity mirror. The optically pumped (lambda(p) = 1480 nm, P = 130 mW) laser emits in single-frequency operation as much as 8 mW at lambda = 1557.2 nm with a slo...

The shot-noise limited sensitivity of Michelson-type laser interferometers with Fabry-Perot arm cavities can be increased by the so-called power-recycling technique. In such a scheme the power-recycling cavity is optically coupled with the interferometer's arm cavities. A problem arises because the central coupling mirror transmits a rather high laser power and may show thermal lensing, thermo-...

Temperature and thermal stress responses of an improved TTSV structure under the impact of hotspots are numerically analyzed in this paper. A Fin structure is added to the circular TTSV to strengthen the effect of thermo-mechanical mitigation. The nonlinear finite element method (N-FEM) is presented to obtain the coupled thermal and mechanical fields. Running time of the N-FEM algorithm is comp...

This paper deals with a computational strategy suitable for the simulation of multiphysics problems, based on the Large Time INcrement (LATIN) method. The simulation of such problems must encounter the possible different time and space scales which usually arise with the different physics. Herein, we focus on using different time and space discretizations for each physics by introducing an inte...
