Simulation of heat generating in a vibrating structure using COMSOL Multiphysics

Abstract EN

This paper dealt with heat generating in a beam structure model subjected to small vibrations to know the viscos elastic behavior under heat and vibration.

The model first computed coupled thermal – structural interaction.

The results obtained from this analysis of the model treated by the finite element method to calculate amount of heat generation in the material.

A transient heat transfer analysis then simulated the slow rising temperature in the beam using these heat source terms.

The model has been constructed from two blocks, the first block from Aluminum while the second block made from β –Titanium.

The model was constrained from one side, while the other side free, so vibrations that occur along the model.

These vibrations led to heat generating, so yields that residual stresses through the model.

The result obtained represented in curves which give good agreement with international published researches
