Notice of RetractionNumerical Simulation of Oil Steel Pipe in Induction Heat Treatment Process
With the rapid development of the oil industry-level demand for steel, the performance of oil steel pipe has put forward higher requirements. Induction heat treatment of steel pipe can improve performance and save cost, so it has been widely used in the steel pipe manufacturing industry. In order to reduce the number of trial-error procedures in plant which usually are long and costly, numerical simulation has been revealed as an important tool in designing the induction heating system. In this paper, the steel pipe temperature distribution in induction heat treatment is simulated considering the material properties. It is shown that the simulation results of the object temperature in good agreement with the different technology demands, which can provide useful information to optimize the whole induction heating process.
Transient numerical simulation of a thermoelectrical problem in cylindrical induction heating furnaces
Abstract
This paper concerns the mathematical modelling and numerical solution of thermoelectrical phenomena taking place in an axisymmetric induction heating furnace. We formulate the problem in a two-dimensional domain and propose a finite element method and an iterative algorithm for its numerical solution. We also provide a family of one-dimensional analytical solutions which are used to test the two-dimensional code and to predict the behaviour of the furnace under special conditions. Some numerical results for an industrial furnace used in silicon purification are shown.

Experimental study on bond behavior between high-strength grout and deformed steel bars
Abstract Engineers use high-strength grout to connect precast concrete members for its low shrinkage and good fluidity. This paper designed 87 central pull-out specimens using the control variable method to investigate the influence of factors on the rebar-grout bond property such as compressive strength, steel grade, bar diameter, transverse stirrups, and bond length. The test result showed that improving grout compressive strength (85.8 MPa–122.7 MPa) cannot improve the bond strength, which was different from the previous conclusions of concrete pull-out tests. Simplified formulas were presented for calculating the characteristic values of bond strength, residual strength, peak slip, and relative slip of load-holding platform based on parameter analysis. Then, a constitutive model was proposed to predict the full-range bond stress-slip curve of high-strength grout and steel bar specimens from bearing to failure. Finally, FEA models were established to evaluate the applicability and accuracy of the constitutive model.
