Abstract

This study presents a novel modeling approach for wetness and moisture concentration in the presence of time dependent saturated moisture concentration by employing the traditional ANSYS thermal and surface effect elements. The accuracy of the present approach is established by comparison with those of the existing ANSYS "diffusion" and "coupled field" elements as well as peridynamic theory. The comparison concerns the desorption process in a fully saturated bar made of two different materials with equal and unequal values of solubility activation energy in the presence of time dependent saturated moisture concentration under uniform and nonuniform temperature conditions. The results from the present approach agree well with those of peridynamics and ANSYS "coupled field" elements if the diffusivity is specified as time dependent. Significant deviation occurs if the diffusivity is specified as temperature dependent. The ANSYS "diffusion" element is applicable only for uniform temperature, and deviation becomes significant especially for unequal values of solubility activation energy.
