In many engineering applications, cylindrical structures are often subjected to various temperature fluctuations. When the temperature gradient is high enough, the thermal stresses build up in the structure and these stresses may cause the permanent deformation of the body. Therefore, determination and detailed understanding of the thermoelastoplastic stresses in the cylindrical elements are an important issue of engineering design to predict the failures and improve the safety and reliability of the products. To that end, in this thesis, an uncoupled thermo-elastoplastic problem of a long tube subjected to a temperature cycle from its inner surface is solved. The stress boundary conditions treated are those of stress-free at the inner wall while the outer wall is rigidly constrained. It is presumed that the tube is in a state of generalized plane strain and obeys Tresca’s yield criterion and its associated flow rule. After the temperature cycle is applied, the tube experienced three stages; purely elastic, elastic-plastic and finally unloading stage. The analytical formulation of these stages are obtained and the corresponding time-dependent stress, strain and displacement distributions are plotted during the temperature cycle. The formulation of the problem and the subsequent solutions are cast in general terms and the results may be adapted to a variety of specific applications. In this context, the present research study will make a theoretical contribution to the literature by giving analytical solution to the problem of thermo-elastoplastic thick-walled tube subjected to temperature cycle.

Thermal stress problems ın FGMS Akdoğan, Esra Nur; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) In this thesis transient temperature distribution, thermal stresses and thermal stress intensity factors (TSIFs) of an infinitely long functionally graded material (FGM) strip containing periodic cracks under thermal shock are studied. Thermal shock is applied by imposing a sudden change in the boundary temperatures. Solution of the present thermoelasticity problem is considered in three successive steps. First the thermal (conduction) problem is solved and the transient temperature distribution is determin...
Elastic layers bonded to flexible reinforcements Pinarbasi, Seval; Mengi, Yalcin (Elsevier BV, 2008-02-01) Elastic layers bonded to reinforcing sheets are widely used in many engineering applications. While in most of the earlier applications, these layers are reinforced using steel plates, recent studies propose to replace "rigid" steel reinforcement with "flexible" fiber reinforcement to reduce both the cost and weight of the units/systems. In this study, a new formulation is presented for the analysis of elastic layers bonded to flexible reinforcements under (i) uniform compression, (ii) pure bending and (iii...
Elastic-plastic deformation of a heat generating tube with temperature-dependent yield stress Gulgec, M; Orcan, Y (2000-01-01) The distribution of stress, plastic strain and displacement in an elastic-perfectly plastic tube with fixed ends in the presence of a uniform heat source is investigated analytically by taking into consideration the temperature dependence of the yield limit. The treatment is based on Tresca's yield condition and its associated flow rule. Depending on the radius ratio of the tube, in general, five different plastic regions, two of them corresponding to an edge regime of Tresca's prism, and an intermediate el...
Enhanced thermal conductivity of nanofluids: a state-of-the-art review Özerinç, Sezer; Yazicioglu, Almila Guevenc (2010-02-01) Adding small particles into a fluid in cooling and heating processes is one of the methods to increase the rate of heat transfer by convection between the fluid and the surface. In the past decade, a new class Of fluids called nanofluids, in which particles of size 1-100 nm with high thermal conductivity are Suspended in a conventional heat transfer base fluid, have been developed. It has been shown that nanofluids containing a small amount of metallic or nonmetallic particles, Such as Al2O3, CuO, Cu, SiO2,...
Numerical analysis of laminar forced convection with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of nanofluids and thermal dispersion Özerinç, Sezer; Kakac, S. (2012-12-01) Nanofluids are promising heat transfer fluids due to their high thermal conductivity. In order to utilize nanofluids in practical applications, accurate prediction of forced convection heat transfer of nanofluids is necessary. In the first part of the present study, we consider the application of some classical correlations of forced convection heat transfer developed for the flow of pure fluids to the case of nanofluids by the use of nanofluid thermophysical properties. The results are compared with experi...
