Structural Concepts for Long (Linear) Bodies Undergoing Thermal Expansion

Krunal Mehta , Utpal Shah

Abstract :

Engineering applications often require working at high temperatures. Most metals undergo a thermal expansion when subjected to high temperatures. Hence, a provision for thermal expansion must be provided in components undergoing thermal expansion in order to reduce or eliminate the stress induction in the body. The present paper presents two structural concepts for linear bodies that undergo a thermal expansion during their work cycle. The concepts suggested are generic in nature and can be used for a wide area application involving linear or long bodies. The first concept involves use of Dovetail arrangement and the other one involves use of Linear Bellows. A short description for the automation of the Dovetail arrangement is also presented
