A Transient Elastic-Plastic Thermal Stress Analysis of Flame Forming

Abstract
The work described here is part of a larger experimental and theoretical program directed at obtaining a better understanding of the mechanics of flame bending. A capability for predicting the transient behavior of a line heated plate during heating and cooling is presented. Material properties are temperature dependent. Elastic-plastic stress-strain relations are used. Material unloading from the plastic range is treated. Deformations of a plate are predicted at various times during heating and cooling and compared with experimental results. The analysis is also carried out for consecutive heating and cooling cycles.
