Abstract
Thermal ratcheting has been analytically investigated for a beam element subjected to a linear temperature variation across its solid rectangular cross section. A linear strain-hardening material response exhibiting an idealized Bauschinger effect was assumed. Formulas are given for the associated strain accumulation which are valid over a large range of strain hardening, temperature variation, temperature cycles, and axial load. Specific results are tabulated for the materials and operating conditions typically associated with liquid metal breeder reactors.
