Incremental strain results for EAF diffuse thermal model input for PS 4
temperature is greater for the center elements over time as a result of a reduced
cross-sectional area in these elements.
The solution to the simulation is presented in Fig.

, which displays the
incremental strain results.
As seen, during a temperature rise, the incremental strain can now vary from
element to element. This is seen during the current application as the elements
with a greater temperature (i.e., near center) have a greater incremental strain as
