Example 25 Cylinder under Fixed Normal Displacement

General

• The model is a cylinder stuck longitudinally with two materials that have different coefficients of linear thermal expansion.
  The cylinder is subjected to a thermal load with the side face fixed in the perpendicular direction to its surface and freed in a parallel direction.
   

• The deformation, the displacement distribution, and the stress distribution are solved.
   

• Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.
   




• Results will vary depending on Femtet version and the PC environment.

Analysis Space

Analysis Conditions

The temperature is applied evenly on the model.

Select Thermal load and set the reference temperature and the reached temperature.

There is no need to couple with the thermal analysis [Watt].

The Step/Thermal Load tab is set as follows.

Model

The cylinder's top and bottom faces are fixed in all directions. The side is fixed in normal displacement.

The upper and lower bodies have different coefficients of linear thermal expansion.

Body Attributes and Materials

The material properties are set up as follows:

Results

The Z-direction displacement is shown below by contour. The scale adjustment is actual scale.

Body2 is pushing up Body1.

The section at XZ plane is shown below.

The border has been moved upward maintaining the same orientation and shape.
