restricted stress in time dependent problem

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello evrybody,

I m using a time dependent problem of a beam restricted at both ends. When we apply voltage or temperature, it produces stress greater than 500 MPa. Can anyone help me how to restricted stress upto 500 MPa for each iteration.

Thank you.

Hi

how do you want to restrict the stress ? you can use a parameteric sweep and increase the temperature in steps, and then stop, or you define the temperarture as a global variable and you get COMSOL to otimise its value such that the stress is some 500MPa. But you need to define which stress and where, and usin min maxoperators during solving is very costly (there is a model library example of thermal T control to reach a given temperature at a given point in a model

Good luck

Sir
Can you suggested path of model library example of thermal T control to reach a given temperature at a given point in a model. and also for above suggested example by you.
