Problem statement

Geometry
Fully restrained bar: E=200000 MPa, alpha=12e-6 1/K, sigma_y(T)=250-0.5(T-20) MPa while heating from 20 C.
Material
Constitutive or analytical definition: Solve E alpha DeltaT=sigma_y(20+DeltaT).
Boundary conditions
Required solver capability: temperature_dependent_plasticity. Use the loading/path control stated in the setup and preserve the complete response history.
Measured quantity
First yield at DeltaT=86.2068965517 K, T=106.206896552 C.
