THERMAL ANALYSIS OF SQUARE PLATE BY USING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

  1. Kiran Govind Adhe

Abstract

Thermal analysis of isotropic square plate made up of various materials with thermal load application and different boundary conditions is analyzed in this research. Finite element formulation is carried out in the analysis and the FEM formulation is done in the analysis section of the ABAQUS. In this study, flat Square plate without cut-out which can be assumed as perfect plates which are made up steel, aluminium materials are analysed. Finally comparison has been done between the results obtained from ABAQUS results for isotropic square plate without cutout. A study on the structural properties such as deflections and thermal behaviour of different materials has been conducted during the analysis which will be helpful in various fields of engineering.
