Thermo-mechanical modeling of a micro-fabricated solid oxide fuel cell
A micro-fabricated solid oxide fuel cell is currently being designed by the Micro-chemical Power Team(funded under the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative(MURI) Research Program). In the current design a plate structure vital to power generation is exposed to harsh thermal operation …

Three-dimensional thermo-mechanical modeling of deformation at plate boundaries : case study San Andreas Fault System
… these two end-member concepts requires a 3D thermomechanical numerical modeling. However, the software tool required for such modeling is not available at present in the geodynamic modeling community. The major aim of the presented work is comprised basically of two interconnected tasks. The …

Effects of Initial Thermal Structure on the Evolution of Continental Rifting
… of continental rifts using finite element thermo-mechanical modeling. The initial thermal structure is a product of crustal heat production rates and heat conducted from the asthenosphere (lithospheric thickness); therefore, we explore the impact of varying crustal heat production rates …

Numerical analysis of thermal, hydraulic and mechanical processes in the near- and far-field of underground coal gasification reactors
… dass eine Implementierung temperaturabhängiger thermo-mechanischer Gesteinsparameter nur für Untersuchungen von Permeabilitäts-änderungen im Reaktornachbereich notwendig ist. Die Ergebnisse erlauben somit eine recheneffiziente Realisierung von komplexen thermo-mechanisch gekoppelten …

A Geodynamic Investigation of Continental Rifting and Mantle Rheology: Madagascar and East African Rift case studies
… Here, we use state-of-art computational modeling of the upper660 km of the Earth to: 1) provide a better understanding of mantle flow patterns and themantle rheology beneath Madagascar, 2) to elucidate the main driving forces of observedpresent-day∼E-W opening in the EAR, and 3) to …
