Thermal deformation

A beam consists of one or more layers of different materials. A change in temperature or a heat flow through the beam causes it to bend.

Step 1 Input system size

ΔT	[degC]	Temperature offset ( from undeformed temperature)
Q	[W/m²]	Transverse heat flux
L	[mm]	Length of beam
n		Number of layers

Step 2 Layer properties
