PREDICTED TEMPERATURE FIELD IN A THERMOMECHANICALLY HEATED VISCOPLASTIC SPACE TRUSS STRUCTURE. Conference Paper

abstract

• This paper focuses on the effect of thermomechanically induced heating on the response of a single member of a space truss structure which behaves viscoplastically. The governing equations are given for a typical truss member, wherein material inelasticity is reflected in constitutive equations via a set of internal state variables, each characterized by a history dependent growth law. The governing equations are coupled in the sense that temperature and displacement are dependent on each other. This difficulty, together with the fact that the inelastic constitutive equations are nonlinear and numerically stiff, requires that a computationally complex semidiscretized finite element spatial technique be utilized to obtain a solution.
