Expansion stress range - 05/02/12 07:47 PM
Hello to everyone,
I'm having a problem on the expansion stress allowable on one of my calculation. I'm using CAESAR v. 5.3. When I make two calculation files, 1) With hot sustained and 2) Without hot sustained.
Between the two files, I noticed that the expansion stress range or allowable is not the same on some nodes, but the code stress values are totally the same.
The expansion stress range is higher when there is no hot sustained load case in the calculation. That is why when I consider hot sustained load case, the thermal stress is failing.
Can somebody help me on this matter, please clarify if you've experienced this problem before.
Thank you and regards,
Clyde
