1st order linear - Thermal load on simply supported beam
Problem definition
Determine the deflection, U, due to thermal expansion at the roller support due to a temperature increase of 5. The beam is made of a material with a thermal expansion coefficient of 1.0 x 10-5.
Assumptions
The roller pin is assumed to be frictionless.
Key results
Result | Theoretical formula | Theoretical value | Solver value | % error |
---|---|---|---|---|
Translation at roller | 5x10-4 | 5x10-4 | 0% |
Conclusion
An exact match is shown between the theoretical result and the solver result.
