Abstract

In this work we briefly present a thermomechanical model that could serve as starting point for industrial applications. We address the non-linearity due to temperature dependence of material properties and heterogeneity due to presence of different materials. Finally a numerical example related to the simplified geometry of blast furnace hearth walls is shown with the aim of assessing the feasibility of the modelling framework. Keywords: nonlinear thermomechanical model, finite element method, heterogeneous material, blast furnace.
