I have this one cylindrical steel chamber, and have to load its internal surface with simultaneous thermal-mechanical stress (The chamber wall model is attached). What I want to look at is the effect of these stresses at the interface where different materials i.e., the steel and fused quartz (the material for the optical window) meet, as well as the temperature distribution across the chamber thickness.
Therefore, I need to model the interaction properties for the two materials in contact, and also I need to precisely model the interaction for the bolt-nut fixation surfaces in order for me to quantify the level of tensile stress experienced by each bolt-nut fixture during the loading.
Anyone who are familiar with interaction modelling in Abaqus could please lend me a hand on this? I am very sure that your expertise with respect to my particular problem here is second to none!
Thank you in advance.
Dear Prof. Chennakesava, much thanks for the suggestions on modelling method. I will go further into that.
