Evaluation of HMA fracture mechanics-based thermal cracking model.Lin, Sen January 2011 (has links)
Low temperature cracking is an important form of asphalt pavement deterioration in cold regions. The cracks develop when thermally induced stresses exceed the fracture resistance of the asphalt pavement. In this study, by incorporating HMA fracture mechanics into thermal cracking model, a new integrated model is introduced to investigate low temperature cracking performance. To evaluate its reliability and accuracy, the predicted thermally induced stress and failure temperature are compared with the fracture stress and fracture temperature obtained from thermal stress restrained specimen test. The findings indicate that this HMA fracture mechanics-based thermal cracking model has a great potential to reliably evaluate the performance of asphalt mixtures subjected to thermally induced damage.

SEA STAR, LUIDIA CLATHRATA, RESPONSES TO PHYSICAL AND THERMAL STRESSKusum Parajuli (15622202) 18 May 2023 (has links)
<p>Human actions and the resultant global warming are leading to considerable environmental changes that are negatively impacting marine ecosystems and their biodiversity. Luidia clathrata, a starfish species, is essential to the marine ecosystem, and understanding its sensitivity to stressors can help predict its future adaptations and role in the reef ecosystem. The study involved subjecting L. clathrata to thermal stress by incrementally raising the temperature by 1°C each day for a period of seven days. Physiological responses were evaluated on two separate occasions: day 1, which corresponded to the acute stress response, and day 7, which corresponded to the chronic stress response. The results showed a minor increase in phagocytic activity during acute thermal stress, but a significant decrease during chronic exposure. Although there was a slight decrease in total coelomic plasma protein during acute thermal stress, it significantly increased during post-chronic exposure. The amputated starfish avoided using the injured arm when righting themselves, indicating the development of neurosensory potential. Total cell count increased slightly in all stressed groups during acute stress but decreased after prolonged exposure to stressors. The mortality rate of the temperature-stressed groups was 33%, indicating that prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding expected future temperatures could be harmful to L. clathrata. To support the hypothesis at the molecular level, RNA/DNA ratios and Heat shock protein gene 90, a molecular marker for cellular stress, were studied. Although no significant differences were observed in transcriptomic level, the temperature-stressed group showed slightly upregulated hsp90 gene expression. The findings indicate that L. clathrata responds to stress similarly to vertebrates, highlighting the potential impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. This study provides a baseline for comprehending the stress response of starfish, and further research is recommended with a larger sample size and over a more extended period. It is interesting to note that the gonad and body wall extracts of starfish exhibit significant inhibitory activity against various tested pathogens. The findings suggest that starfish extracts may have potential medicinal uses as antimicrobial agents. However further research is needed to understand the mechanisms of action behind these inhibitory activities and to identify the specific compounds responsible for them.</p>

Coupled Field Modeling of Gas Tungsten Arc WeldingSen, Debamoy 08 August 2012 (has links)
Welding is used extensively in aerospace, automotive, chemical, manufacturing, electronic and power-generation industries. Thermally-induced residual stresses due to welding can significantly impair the performance and reliability of welded structures. Numerical simulation of weld pool dynamics is important as experimental measurements of velocities and temperature profiles are difficult due to the small size of the weld pool and the presence of the arc. From a structural integrity perspective of welded structures, it is necessary to have an accurate spatial and temporal thermal distribution in the welded structure before stress analysis is performed. Existing research on weld pool dynamics simulation has ignored the effect of fluid flow in the weld pool on the temperature field of the welded joint. Previous research has established that the weld pool depth/width (D/W) ratio and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) are significantly altered by the weld pool dynamics. Hence, for a more accurate estimation of the thermally-induced stresses it is desired to incorporate the weld pool dynamics into the analysis. Moreover, the effects of microstructure evolution in the HAZ on the mechanical behavior of the structure need to be included in the analysis for better mechanical response prediction. In this study, a three-dimensional model for the thermo-mechanical analysis of Gas Tungsten Arc (GTA) welding of thin stainless steel butt-joint plates has been developed. The model incorporates the effects of thermal energy redistribution through weld pool dynamics into the structural behavior calculations. Through material modeling the effects of microstructure change/phase transformation are indirectly included in the model. The developed weld pool dynamics model includes the effects of current, arc length, and electrode angle on the heat flux and current density distributions. All the major weld pool driving forces are included, namely surface tension gradient, plasma drag force, electromagnetic force, and buoyancy. The weld D/W predictions are validated with experimental results. They agree well. The effects of welding parameters (like welding speed, current, arc length, etc.) on the weld D/W ratio are documented. The workpiece deformation and stress distributions are also highlighted. The transverse and longitudinal residual stress distribution plots across the weld bead and their variations with welding speed and current are also provided. The mathematical framework developed here serves as a robust tool for better prediction of weld D/W ratio and thermally-induced stress evolution and distribution in a welded structure by coupling the different fields in a welding process. / Ph.

Impacts de perturbateurs environnementaux sur un organisme sentinelle des milieux côtiers anthropisés, la moule bleue Mytilus spp. : caractérisation génomique et écophysiologique de l'adaptation au stress / Impacts of environmental stressors on a bioindicator species of anthropized coastal ecosystems, the blue mussel, Mytilus spp. : genomic and ecophysiological characterization of stress adaptationLacroix, Camille 12 December 2014 (has links)
Dans le contexte actuel de changement global et particulièrement de réchauffement climatique et de pollution chimique chronique, se pose la question de la vulnérabilité des écosystèmes côtiers et notamment des populations d’invertébrés filtreurs jouant un rôle structurant dans la plupart de ces écosystèmes. Dans ces travaux de thèse, une approche couplée d’écophysiologie et de génomique fonctionnelle a été mise à profit afin de mieux comprendre les processus moléculaire, cellulaire et physiologique de réponse à une contamination chimique chronique modérée et d’évaluer la capacité à faire face à une augmentation de température chez des populations naturelles de moules bleues (Mytilus spp.) de la Rade de Brest. Les résultats obtenus révèlent qu’une contamination chronique modérée induit des réponses adaptatives au niveau subcellulaire chez les moules exposées, prévenant ainsi l’apparition de souffrances physiologiques et permettant aux populations de se maintenir dans un environnement variable. Ces réponses impliquent en particulier, une activation des mécanismes de défense cellulaire (métabolisme énergétique et défenses antioxydantes) et d’élimination des xénobiotiques. Par ailleurs, l’exposition à une augmentation de température en conditions expérimentales ne met pas en évidence de sensibilité particulière au stress thermique chez les moules provenant d’un site exposé à une contamination chronique modérée. En revanche, les résultats indiquent que ces dernières pourraient avoir une plus grande capacité à compenser grâce à des réponses adaptatives, les effets délétères générés par une augmentation de température. Cependant, le fort coût énergétique généré par la contamination chimique ainsi que les effets importants du stress thermique mis en évidence dans ces travaux indiquent que la combinaison de ces deux sources de stress pourrait provoquer des dysfonctionnements métaboliques et représenter à l’avenir, une menace pour les populations naturelles de moules bleues. Ces travaux de thèse ont également contribué au développement de nouvelles méthodologies permettant respectivement, de quantifier des contaminants environnementaux dans des tissus biologiques marins, d’étudier des réponses génomiques précoces de stress et de mesurer des paramètres physico-chimiques in situ. Ces méthodologies pourront contribuer à améliorer les performances du diagnostic de l’état de santé des populations naturelles de moules et au delà, d’espèces-sentinelles de mollusques bivalves dans un contexte de contamination chimique mais également de changements climatiques. / In the current context of chronic chemical pollution and on-going climate change, coastal ecosystems, and in particular keystone filter-feeding bivalve populations inhabiting them, appear vulnerable. In this thesis, an approach coupling ecophysiology and functional genomics was used to study the molecular, cellular and physiological responses of wild blue mussel populations of the Bay of Brest to a moderate chronic chemical contamination, and to assess the ability of these populations to face a heat stress. Results indicate a moderate chronic chemical contamination induces adaptive responses in wild mussel populations from the Brest harbour area, which prevents severe physiological disturbances and sustain long-term population survival. These responses include an activation of cellular stress response [energetic metabolism and antioxidant defences) and xenobiotic elimination mechanisms. Furthermore, experimental heat stress exposure does not highlight a higher sensitivity to a temperature increase in mussels sampled in a moderately contaminated area but suggests that these mussels could have a better ability to offset the adverse effects of heat stress thanks to adaptive responses. However, the high energetic cost of chemical contamination and the strong effects of heat stress presented in this work, suggest combined chemical and heat stress could be a future threat for wild blue mussel populations. This work also contributes to the development of new methodologies to, respectively, quantify environmental contaminants in marine biota, study early warning genomic stress responses and to survey physicochemical parameters in situ. These methodologies contribute to improving the health diagnostics of natural mussel populations and thus, appear as useful tools to assess health of bivalve sentinel species populations in biomonitoring studies, in a context of chemical contamination and climate change.
