I'm designing a system that will thermally cycle a stainless steel substrate up to 1200C from room temperature; right now my design consists of clamping the substrate onto a plate using a bolt head/washer with a nut on the other end of the screw, as shown on the attached figure.
I want to determine the minimum distance I can put the substrate away from the bolt so that buckling will not occur during thermal expansion. The substrate in question is 4"x1"x1/16" (the 1" is into the figure). The bolts I have selected have a 3mm nominal diameter and are made of Monel.
I calculated the critical compressive stress on the substrate to be 22.9 ksi, but I am having trouble incorporating the thermal expansion of both the sample and the bolt in order to determine the compressive stress on the sample. What steps should I take?
Here's some material info I got from matweb.com:
[tex]\alpha_{stainless steel}[/tex]=15.1E-06 /degC, E[tex]_{stainless steel}[/tex]=28.5E+06 psi, S[tex]_{y, stainless steel}[/tex]=89.6E+03 psi
[tex]\alpha_{bolt}[/tex]=13.9E-06 /degC, E[tex]_{bolt}[/tex]=24.5E+06 psi
