Truss Mechanics
2D Natual Convection, Heat Transfer
Caution: Copious derivation notes from 2 nonlinear designs are presented. You can review, derive, and compare your displacement equation to a classic continuum convection heat transfer equation. Consider the force on the left end as a heat source and the right end as one of three classic boundary conditions. This is a complex derivation, think 3rd year of engineering college or grad school level, however no differential equations.
Required tools:
• Finite element code
• Numerical analysis code
• Graphing software
• An organization
software code
• Time: Two weeks,
8 hours a day
Conceptually, how would one modify the force to simulate a forced convection fin problem? Hint, think about that right end… Alpha wolf difficult.
