How to Calculate and Solve for Thermal Stress with Quenching | Polymer Deformation

Last Updated on December 11, 2021

The image above represents thermal stress with quenching.

To compute for thermal stress with quenching, six essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Fraction of Specific Geometry (C), Biot Quenching Modulus (β), Elastic Modulus (E), Linear Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (α), Change in Temperature (ΔT) and Poisson’s Ratio (μ).

The formula for calculating thermal stress with quenching:

σ = CβEαΔT / 1 – μ

Where:

σ = Thermal Stress with Quenching
C = Fraction of Specific Geometry
b = Biot Quenching Modulus
E = Elastic Modulus
α = Linear Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
ΔT = Change in Temperature
μ = Poisson’s Ratio

Let’s solve an example;
Find the thermal stress with quenching when the fraction of specific geometry is 1, the biot quenching modulus is 2, the elastic modulus is 3, the linear coefficient of thermal expansion is 4, the change in temperature is 5 and the poisson’s ratio is 6.

This implies that;

C = Fraction of Specific Geometry = 1
b = Biot Quenching Modulus = 2
E = Elastic Modulus = 3
α = Linear Coefficient of Thermal Expansion = 4
ΔT = Change in Temperature = 5
μ = Poisson’s Ratio = 6

σ = CβEαΔT / 1 – μ
σ = (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) / 1 – 6
σ = 120 / -5
σ = -24

Therefore, the thermal stress with quenching is -24 Pa.
