Heat Generation in a Vibrating Structure

Application ID: 2205


This example models heat generation in a beam-like structure subjected to small amplitude vibrations. The model computes the linear elastic response in the frequency domain. The transient heat-transfer analysis simulates the slow-rising temperature in the beam using the heat generated through mechanical losses in the material as a heat-source term.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
