1.2. Material properties#

\(E=2.0\text{E+11}\mathrm{Pa}\) Young’s module

\(\nu =0.3\) Poisson’s ratio

\(\alpha =15.0\text{E-06}/°C\) Expansion coefficient

\(D\text{\_}\mathrm{SIGM}\text{\_}\mathrm{EPSI}=2.0\text{E+09}\mathrm{Pa}\) Slope of the traction curve

\(\mathrm{SY}=150.0\text{E+10}\mathrm{Pa}\) Elasticity limit

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

Embedding at points \(A\) and \(B\): \(\mathrm{DX}=\mathrm{DY}=\mathrm{DZ}=\mathrm{DRX}=\mathrm{DRY}=\mathrm{DRZ}=0\)

Imposed temperature: \(T=400°C\)

The imposed temperature increases linearly as a function of time.
