Temperature patterns obtained in thermoelastic stress test at different frequencies, a FEM approach

PurposeThe goal of this work is to create a computational finite element model to perform thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) with the usage of a non-ideal load frequency, containing the effects of the material thermal properties.Design/methodology/approachThroughout this document, the methodology of the model is presented first, followed by the procedure and results. The last part is reserved to results, discussion and conclusions.FindingsThis work had the main goal to create a model to perform TSA with the usage of non-ideal loading frequencies, considering the materials’ thermal properties. Loading frequencies out of the ideal range were applied and the model showed capable of good results. The created model reproduced acceptably the TSA, with the desired conditions.Originality/valueThis work creates a model to perform TSA with the usage of non-ideal loading frequencies, considering the materials’ thermal properties.
