Thermal Stress Evaluation without Solving Heat Transfer Physics

I am trying to generate Thermal Stress about the domain of a spherical body with a coupled 'Solid Mechanics' and 'Heat Transfer in Solids' physics.

Instead of actually solving the heat transfer Temperature distribution, I want to impose a Temperature distribution about the body as a function of the radius to induce stress.

i.e. T(r)=2.4600e+14*r^2+8600 [NB: Not actual syntax I am using]

As I am new to COMSOL 4.3a, I cannot figure out how to go about doing this. Can anyone assist me in performing this implementation.

Hi Philip,

If you are imposing the temperature distribution then just use the Solid Mechanics physics, activate the Thermal Expansion sub-node of the Linear Elastic Material (or whatever material you are using), and enter the temperature field in the Settings Window.

I am unable to locate the particular subnode that you recommended using. You solution sounds as if it would be very beneficial if I could locate the subnode. Could you advice me as to where this subnode would be located for version 4.3a?

Thank you.

Hi as Nagi said:

"Thermal Expansion sub-node of the Linear Elastic Material" (right click Linear Elastic Material node)

bt there might be some need for HT and SOLID to get that ? (I cannot tell as I have both, and I'm not by my WS to test it out)

Good luck

Hi,

A license for Structural Mechanics or MEMS.is required for having access to the Thermal expansion subnode. Check under Options->Licences.

Thank you.

It was a license issue and it was resolved and the problem was solved. Thank you again

Dear Philip,
I have a same problem with you. And I check in my license. I dont see the tick at the structural mechanics module. But I can not click it. Could you tell me some more about your solutions?
If you have any advices, can you tell me here or at my email: n1301790g@e.ntu.edu.sg
Thanks
