FEA of Effects Induced by Diurnal Temperature Variation on Downstream Surface of Xiaowan Arch Dam

In order to make clear the cracking reasons in arch dam of Xiaowan Hydropower Station during operation period, the approach to combine ANSYS with finite element program COCE-3D is adopted. Firstly, the influence by element type and mesh size for the temperature field simulation result is analyzed. S...
