Stress Displacement at Elevated Temperatures

AI Thread Summary
In a FEA Stress Analysis of an aluminum (6063 T6) part, the Ultimate and Yield Strengths were adjusted to reflect behavior at 150 degrees C, resulting in unchanged displacement for small forces. The applied force was 110 N, with Ultimate Tensile Strength values of 214 MPa at 24 degrees C and 145 MPa at 149 degrees C. The discussion raises the question of whether displacement would remain the same despite a 35% to 40% reduction in strength. It is suggested that altering the modulus of elasticity for higher temperatures may be necessary to achieve different deflection results. Accurate modeling at elevated temperatures requires consideration of both strength and elasticity changes.

I was doing a FEA Stress Analysis of an Alum (6063 T6) part and set the Ultimate and Yield Strength of the material lower to model the behavior at 150 degress C. The displacement (movement) of the model was exactly the same for relatively small forces. The force was 110 N and the Ultimate Tensile Strength was 214 MPa @ 24 degrees C and 145 MPa @ 149 degrees C.

Would the small force displacement be the same even though the Ultimate and Yield Strengths were 35% to 40% lower?

I think you need to change the modulus of elasticity for the higher temperature to get a different deflection.
