THERMAL ANALYSIS OF CANTILEVER BEAM

Abstract

This study focuses on the structural and modal analysis of carbon steel members subjected to heat loading. Calculations for both the cantilever and the fixed-end components are performed. For members with various cross sections but a same cross section area, deflection and stress were studied. A lack of mechanical forces may lead to heat stresses and deformations in structural components. Temperature variations may have an effect on mechanical components. These findings provide light on how temperature changes affect structure.. The material expands as the temperature rises, which may have an impact on its structural integrity. It's possible that you'll create hazardous designs if you don't consider the implications of constrained parameters. This has a substantial influence on the structural performance of structures exposed to high temperatures. The investigation's primary objective is to measure the deflection and stress in the beam. Analyses are done by using ANSYS, which is followed by real-world testing. ANSYS is used to explore how the structure's mode shape and frequency change as the temperature increases.
