Features tested

*CONTACT PAIR, SMALL SLIDING

*GAP RADIATION

*GAP CONDUCTANCE

*GAP HEAT GENERATION

Problem description

The models consist of two bodies lying next to each other. Heat transfer across the gap between the two bodies can take place via gap conductance, gap heat generation, or gap radiation. Only heat transfer via gap conductance and gap radiation is tested for the shells.

For the continuum elements we initiate heat flow in the first step by applying different constant temperature fields to each solid body. The steady-state temperature along both sides of the interface is used to verify the numerical solutions. The gap closes due to thermal expansion of the two bodies. In the second step the top block is displaced relative to the bottom block to generate heat due to frictional sliding. In addition, heat transfer occurs due to gap conductance and gap radiation. The upper body is displaced back to its original position in the third step. In ABAQUS/Standard a fourth step is also included. This step is a linear perturbation step, wherein a load of sufficient magnitude to open the gap is applied. In addition, in ABAQUS/Standard the *CONTACT PAIR, TIED option is verified by defining one of the deformable bodies with this feature. The *SECTION FILE and *SECTION PRINT options are used to output the total force and the total heat flux across the contact surfaces; the results match the output of similar output quantities obtained using the *CONTACT FILE option.

For the shells, heat flow is initiated by applying different constant temperatures to degree of freedom 15 of the top body and to degree of freedom 11 of the bottom body. The steady-state temperature along both sides of the interface is used to verify the numerical solutions.
