Experiment No. 5

Title: Thermal Analysis – Static/Transient Analysis.


Aim: To determine the nodal temperature distribution in the body

Objectives: To find temperature distribution in the element with given input parameters
Theory:

Plates and beam are extensively used in many engineering works like buildings, bridges, tunnels, and
other infrastructure. Plates and beams are used in such application are generally subjected to lateral
loads, which causes bending in plate. The structural components used in the aeronautical and aerospace
vehicles, as well as civil and mechanical structures often encounter severe thermal environment. If the
temperature variation is sufficiently high, these stresses can reach levels that may lead to structural
failure, especially for brittle materials. Thus, for many problems involving high temperature variation,
the knowledge of thermal stress analysis can be very important. In structural mechanics and in many
branches of engineering mechanics and aeronautics, the widespread use of plates and beams are made to
deal with thermal stresses, deformations, buckling and vibrations of plates and shells for which there
arises the need for reliance upon different methods of analysis

Problem Definition:

For the rectangular cross-session of the element B = 1m and H = 0.5m and Length of Element is 5m.
Assign thermal Properties, Thermal Conductivity = 60.5 W/m∘C; Apply a constant temperature of
100∘C to the left side of the block (face 1) and a constant temperature of 300∘C to the right side of the
block (face 3). All other faces are insulated by default. Find temperature distribution in the element.

Solution:

Click on Start – ANSYS Workbench.

On left side double click on Steady state thermal.

1. Engineering Data: Double click on engineering data to select suitable material from
library or add material and its material properties. Default material selected is structural
steel. For thermal analysis, check or add isotropic thermal conductivity.
