Out of plane stresses
Out of plane stresses
(OP)
I am trying to model thermal stresses in a rectangular ceramic bar and have used a 2-D model. Is the out-of plane stresses that were calculated valid, or do I need a 3-D model fo see what the stresses in the Z-axis are?

Thermal stresses in the 3rd direction arn't necessarily generated by constraints, they can be generated by differential thermal expansion if there is a non-uniform temperature distribution. As such if there are no loads, no constraints, there can be a longitudianl stress within a long bar, but zero at the ends.

Thanks.....I missed the point in the original post that there was a non-uniform temperature distribution......

I am new to FEA and my understanding of the inputs and outputs are limited. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to set up these types (thermal shock) problems?
