thermal stress in ANSYS
Hallo,
I'm using ANSYS for study the internal stresses of a trilayer structure resulting after a cooling process. The middle layer (the solder) has temperature dependent material properties and the other two layers can be considered temperature indipendent mat. properties. If I use a static analysis the software uses the material properties reffered to final temperature.
For an linear elastic analysis is this a realistic procedure?
If the solder deforms plastically at high temperature and not at final temperature..how can I do?
