Time dependant stresses due to thermal expansion
Time dependant stresses due to thermal expansion
(OP)
I am trying to calculate the stresses due to thermal expansion. I am adding a temperature on the outer lines of my area and want to know the temperature distribution and stresses as a function of time. I have managed to do the temperature distribution as a function of time with help of tutorials from University of Alberta (h ttp://www. mece.ualbe rta.ca/tut orials/ans ys/IT/Tran sCond/Tran sCond.html) but I can't understand how to transfer this to a structural analysis and get the stresses as function of time. Please help me!
