... tubes, high thermal stresses induced by the thermal expansion mismatch of adjacent layers can cause debonding and crack propagation at interfaces [( 5 )]. Hence, it is very important to fully understand the thermo-mechanical behavior of such tubes. Stress analyses have been conducted for composite...

... were found to be at or near to the yield stress in the container wall. A transient finite-element thermal-stress model has been developed to simulate temperature, distortion, and stress during casting and cooling in a simple slice domain of both the glass and the container. Contact thermal-stress...
