Description

Calculate Temperature Load as a function of a surface changes of temperature, TL [kN]. Usually used for calculation of Axial Compression Force for the top level member.

TL = α_T \, δ_T \, k_T \, E \, A

Usage

1
temperature_load(alpha_T = 1.2e-05, delta_T = 10, k_T = 0.8, E = 210, A = 94.4)

Arguments

alpha_T

Thermal coefficient of expansion [degC]

delta_T

Change in temperature from the Installation temperature [degC]

k_T

Coefficient Of temperature effect [dimensionless]

E

Young's Modulus of Elasticity [GPa or GN/m2]

A

Sectional area from table for given member size [cm^2]

Value

TL Temperature load [kN]
