Young Modulus versus temperature

Submitted by Martin Della Torre on
research

Hi.

This is a material's problem.

I'm trying to simulate in FEA (Ansys) a part of a rectangular duct. this duct works with a flue gases qith elevated temparature (aporx 300°C).

Does anyone knows any standard (ASTM or similar) or any bibliography who gives data in form of tables or graphics that shows the variation of young modulus against temperature variation for materials?

 

Thanks

If you're dealing with metals you should try the ASM handbooks.  These give reasonably accurate values of temperature-dependent moduli of a large number of alloys.  The online link is

You will need a subscription to access the data online.

Another source for material data is  http://www.matweb.com.  However, I don't think they have temperatur-dependent properties listed.

For polymers, a "subscription required" source  is http://www.polymersdatabase.com/

However, in my experience, the most reliable source of temperature-dependent properties is the peer reviewed literature.
