Analysis of the thermal behavior of rubber concrete at elevated temperatures based on the humidity levels: Numerical and mathematical modeling

Numerical analysis of the thermomechanical behavior of rubber concrete at high temperatures

“…Let us consider the 2D section of rubber concrete as shown in Figure 3, the proposed algorithm is validated for heat conduction problems using a comparison between obtained results with software Ansys results 45 . This validation work has shown that the proposed model is very effective in the case of thermal analysis of rubber concretes.…”

“…The methods are validated separately, for mechanical behavior the shock wave example is selected since the analytical solution is available, and for thermal behavior, the results are compared with those obtained by Ansys software. 45 These methods are coupled to understand the thermomechanical behavior of rubber concrete.…”
