Simulation wood timber beam under fire and mechanical bending load in Abaqus

In this tutorial, the Simulation wood timber beam under fire and mechanical bending load in Abaqus has been done. The timber beam is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below

Along with the innovation of new building systems, how we design them must also advance for the systems to be implemented by practitioners. This is especially true for the fire engineering design of novel construction methods as their performance under fire is investigated. To complete a performance-based design of such systems, a computer model is often required to demonstrate system behavior. Predictive models are often valuable in the design and optimization of such complex structures provided they can be validated against meaningful data

In the thermal simulation, we have three ways to transfer the heat and energy

Conduction occurs when atoms or molecules interact with each other. It happens most frequently in solids but also occurs in liquids and gases

Convective heat transfer is the transfer of heat between two bodies by currents of moving gas or fluid. In free convection, air or water moves away from the heated body as the warm air or water rises and is replaced by a cooler parcel of air or water

Radiation heat transfer is a process where heat waves are emitted that may be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through a colder body. The Sun heats

All heat transfer ways, conduction, convection, and radiation are considered. First, fire analysis is done and the nodal temperature for each node is written and they are used as the initial condition for the static bending test. The elastic-plastic material depends on the temperature selected for the timber wood.

For both models, proper boundary, mesh, initial conditions, and interactions are applied. After the simulation, all results such as temperature, stress, strain, bending, yield capacity, force-displacement diagram, and others for both simulations are available. You can see some figures for the results below
