This paper presents thermal analysis with finite elements for a plate of steel covered on the surface with a thin layer of Teflon. There is the possibility of identification of that part responsible for beginning of the thermal degradation using the vibrational model. The thermal analysis with finite elements made with ANSYS program enables monitoring and determination of plate variation of temperature. This variation of temperature could cause significant changes in guided wave propagation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
