/title,Sample application of PSMESH - preload only<br />

solve<br />

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

!Finally, we construct the actual solution of interest. We want to<br />

!know what happens to the preload in the bolt, and the stress field around<br />

!it, when the assembly temperature rises to 150° F.<br />

!Both the preload and the stresses increase because, for a uniform<br />

!temperature rise, there is greater thermal expansion in the aluminum plates<br />

!than in the steel bolt. Any method for applying preload that did not<br />

!allow the load to change would be unable to predict this result.<br />
