Thermoelasticity problem with FEM in MATLAB

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a user seeking assistance with a thermoelasticity problem involving temperature and stress distribution in a cylinder under specific conditions. The user has implemented a MATLAB code using linear elements but encounters issues at the boundaries, described as "shock." Respondents emphasize the need for a more detailed explanation, including a clear problem description, boundary conditions, and a well-commented code. They request visual aids and specifics about the results to provide effective help. Clarity and thoroughness in the user's inquiry are essential for receiving constructive feedback.

TL;DR Summary
I want to find distribution of temperature, and stress in cylinder with inner and outer temperature and pressure.
Hello I want to find distribution of temperature, and stress in cylinder with inner and outer temperature and pressure , I used linear elements with 3 nodes and wrote matlab code, moreover I want to solve that coupled but I have problem in first and last point because those have something like shock. please help me.

My Matlab code

Your description is very very short and your code hardly has any comments. This means we would need to do a lot of work to understand your problem. If you want help you need to explain a lot more about what you are actually trying to do. Please:

- Provide a drawing with the problem you are trying to solve with a cylinder and all boundary conditions, initial conditions, material assumptions etc etc, all there is to know about your problem
- Please provide a description of the finite element model you are trying to solve, where you apply what boundary conditions (yes, again!) etc.
- Please clean up your code and add in comments where you do what.
- Please describe exactly what you see in your results that doesn't seem to be right and why you think that. What do you expect? 'something like a shock' is not nearly good enough...

In other words, please make it as easy as possible for us to help you.
 
I ran your code and the results were a couple of plots without definition of the axis and no legend. Please don't make me guess and fix that as well.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
