PALM2D: A nonlinear finite element program for the coupled thermomechanical response of solids in two dimensions
This manual describes the PALM2D analysis code. PALM2D solves for the coupled thermomechanical response of axisymmetric or plane strain solids, including nonlinear effects. This initial version of PALM2D borrows heavily from the LLNL codes TOPAZ2D for the solution of the thermal problem and NIKE2D for the solution of the mechanical problem. The thermal problem may include temperature dependent thermal conductivities and convection boundary conditions, and the mechanical problem may include large deformations and strains as well as material nonlinearities such as plasticity. Coupling is achieved through a staggered step formulation. Heat generation due to plastic work is included, and all heat transfer computations are done on the deformed geometry. PALM2D is a rapidly evolving code, and many enhancements are expected in the near future. 4 refs., 6 figs.
