Abstract
The mathematical investigation of thermal crack formation
during continuous solidification processes is characterized by
a fully coupled analysis of solidification and further cooling,
strand contraction and resulting thermal stresses. Due to variable
and inhomogeneous cooling conditions each just solidified
strand volume element, frozen and wedged in the matrix
of neighbouring elements, has its own thermal load history,
and it is drawn in line to the casting direction. For the
mechanical part, a thermo-inelastic and contact problem with
phase transformation, transient loadings, and moving boundary
conditions is to be solved. Two different approaches to
adapt Finite Element analysis to the demands of transient initial
and boundary conditions are compared and discussed with
regard to methodology, application areas, advantages, and disadvantages.
