NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF ROD UNIAXIAL TENSION CONSIDERING THERMO-MECHANICAL COUPLING EFFECT

Abstract

This paper presents numerical analyses of uniaxial tension tests on rods made of a material with elasticplastic characteristics with mapping the temperature fields generated in the fields of plastic strains. The use of thermo-mechanical coupling algorithms implemented in CAE programs that enable us to enter the parameters of materials dependent on temperature and used to visualize the damage of the samples is presented. The numerical models were validated with experimental research.
