Thermal Effects Module – Advanced
The advanced thermal module is an add-on to the basic module. It enables greater accuracy and completeness in the representation of temperature and frequency effects in structural and thermal models.
For improved accuracy in structural and heat transfer analyses of selfheating and thermal gradient effects.
Note: FPM-TB is required as a prerequisite
Experiment Overview:
- static tearing raw data at 2 more temperatures (in addition to the 3 temperatures already collected in FPM-C and FPM-TB)
- cyclic stress strain raw data at 3 temperatures and 3 frequencies
- thermal conductivity, specific heat & density measurements
- thermal expansion measurement • number of slabs needed for test: 3
Analysis and Reporting / Deliverables
- heat generation law parameters describing dependence of hysteresis on strain, rate, and temperature
- tear strength vs. temperature
- fatigue crack growth rate law temperature look up table
- coefficient of thermal expansion
Use with:
- Powerlaw strain amplitude hysteresis model
- Terziyski-Kennedy temperature and frequency model
- Exponential fatigue crack growth temperature sensitivity
- Table lookup temperature model
