One possibility to utilize excess energy from electricity generation or other industrial processes is use thermal storage systems based on phase change materials (PCM). These can accumulate and release significant amounts of heat during the transitions. The volume properties PCM undergo rapid changes transitions, creating strong physical non-linearities geometric discontinuities. Describing this complexity with local formulations processes, i.e., differential equations, makes numerical solutions corresponding problems challenging. This paper presents a approach for analysis such physically complicated Peridynamics. illustrated by modelling analysing behaviour PCM. computational challenges associated simulating composite structures large differences in conductivity their components are addressed investigating influence different types peridynamic kernels implementation. results demonstrate that solution significantly influenced definition average bonds. proposed framework provides base developing precise thermo-hydro-mechanical description composites fully represent complex systems.

Artificial ground freezing (AGF) is a improvement technique enabling the construction of underground structures in challenging geological conditions. After constructing an structure within ground-ice cofferdam, soil undergoes thawing process that can impact stability and waterproofing properties lining. Minimizing or preventing potential damage, as well avoiding delays construction, be achieved through rational design regimes. In this paper, we present semi-analytical model for thermal behavior ice-wall during its natural artificial thawing. The described by three independent one-dimensional mathematical problems: outer surface ice wall, inner surface, soils around freeze pipes (in case thawing). proposed approach facilitates calculation times power required efficiency demonstrated comparison with numerical simulation results. This makes suitable desirable engineering practice. Importantly, allows seamless analysis several combinations influencing factors to select parameters aligned requirements different projects.
