Design Guidelines for Predicting Stress in Cemented Doublets Undergoing Temperature Change, Part 2

This work builds on prior work that developed a methodology for evaluating thermal stress in cemented doublets. The prior studies were limited by a paucity of actual test data, particularly from thermally tested cemented doublets. This follow-on study uses the existing methodology to estimate stresses in cemented doublets that have been tested for a temperature range from –40°C to 85°C and establishes safe stress levels using actual data. We also discuss limitations and concerns that we need to address to improve our understanding of cemented doublet failure.

Design Guidelines for Deployable Wind Turbines for Defense and Disaster Response Missions

Access to on-site electrical energy is critical to ensuring a successful military or humanitarian response to conflicts and disasters. These missions typically rely on access to liquid fuel that could be vulnerable to disruption or attack during transport. Generating power on location with wind technology can reduce this risk and enhance mission reach by diversifying energy sources. Common characteristics of these missions are short planning and execution time horizons and a global scope of potential locations. Compared to conventional wind turbine applications, defense and disaster response applications place a premium on rapid shipping and installation, short-duration operation (days to months), and quick teardown upon mission completion. These design drivers depart from features found in conventional distributed wind turbines, thus necessitating unique design guidance. The supporting information for this guidance comes from available relevant references, technical analyses, and input from industry and military stakeholders. This poster serves as a summary of project publications which presents the best currently available design guidance for deployable wind turbines to facilitate the effective development and acquisition of technology solutions to support mission success. This Defense and Disaster Deployable Turbine Project (D3T) is a multi-laboratory effort led by Sandia National Laboratories and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Wind Energy Technologies Office.

Carbon Conversion Technologies - NETL Techno-Economic Analysis Guidelines

This presentation was delivered as part of the Global CO2 Initiative and NETL sponsored workshop, 2022 CCU TEA and LCA Guidance - A Harmonized Approach. The presentation highlights the intent and content of forthcoming NETL guidance documents and toolsets on conducting techno-economic analysis on carbon conversion technologies. Specifically discussed are the "Performing a TEA for Carbon Conversion Technologies" guidance document, the "Cost Scaling Methodology Specific to Carbon Conversion Technologies," and brief highlights of upcoming work products.

Guidelines for predicting stress in cemented doublets undergoing temperature change

This work explores quick predictive methods for calculating potentially risky stresses and deflections in cemented doublets experiencing temperature change that agree well with finite element analysis. There are three failure modes of interest: cohesive failure of the adhesive, delamination (surface bond failure or debonding), and glass fracture. Adhesive theory, confirmed by finite element analysis, predicts stress singularities that complicate interpretation of the stress calculations. The presence of a stress singularity indicates the breakdown of linear elastic assumptions, but damage initiation and stress singularities are related. The authors find that geometry details near a bond edge can exacerbate or minimize damage initiation and stress concentrations. Because the interpretation of the stress results is complicated, the authors investigated predicted stresses in doublets that have been successfully tested between -40 and 85 °C. This study found that the product (ΔT ∙ Δα) should be less than 189 ppm, where ΔT is the temperature excursion and Δα is the difference in glass coefficient of thermal expansion. If the product (ΔT ∙ Δα) is equal to or greater than 189 ppm, further analysis and testing is warranted. But the authors also show that the fabrication process can significantly influence stress failure, particularly with large diameter doublets.
