The following boundary and loading condition data is available for this problem:
An initial condition of 700 °C is applied on all nodes. A convective heat-transfer coefficient of 3.4E-5 W/mm2 °C is specified on all free surfaces of the FPD, and the ambient temperature is set to 30 °C. Set the initial temperature value to 0 °C.
For the contact pair, a thermal contact conductance of 4E-05 J/(sec-°C) is used for heat conduction between the veneer and the core.
Note: In Workbench, Initial Conditions can be set using the IC command as shown below.
IC,all,temp,700 !Specifies initial temperature at all nodes.
Rigid body motion is constrained with appropriate displacement constraints at the midline of the FPD base. Vertical displacement constraints are applied to all base nodes as shown in the following images:
The temperature is imported at 60s, 300s and 600s as shown in the imbage below. The environment temperature is set to 700 °C.
