Problem statement

Geometry
Solid cylinder/taper/sphere body per the LE11 setup.
Material
E = 210 GPa, ν = 0.3, thermal expansion α = 2.3×10⁻⁴/°C.
Boundary conditions
Symmetry restraints on the coordinate planes; a linear temperature field Δθ = √(x²+z²)+y.
Measured quantity
Direct stress σy at point A.
