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.

Evaluation of buckling load and dynamic performance of steel shear wall retrofitted with strips made of shape memory alloy
One of the most imperfections of the steel shear wall is out of plane displacements that cause severe damage in both structural and non-structural elements. In this paper, the effects of shape-memory alloys on steel shear walls are investigated. First, a numerical analysis using the finite element method in ABAQUS software has been carried out according to an experimental test. The results of the numerical analysis have been verified with experimental results. Next, shape-memory alloy fibers have been added vertically and horizontally to various parts of the steel shear wall. The results show that retrofitting with the shape-memory alloy reduces the out-of-plane displacement of the steel shear wall under both cyclic and seismic loadings. Besides, the buckling load in the steel shear wall increases when it is retrofitted with the shape-memory alloy. Also, the total out-of-plane movement (accumulated absolute displacements) of the steel shear wall and non-structural damage are controlled by the characteristic of a shape-memory alloy material called “super-elastic”.
