The stresses are induced by the external pressure applied to the cast and developed due to thermal loading. The effect of the stresses is considered as a second order effect by means of investigating the influence of the ‘geometric’ or ‘initial stresses’ stiffness matrix on the response of the cast. The problem formulation is done in the updated Lagrangian (UL) frame. An implicit time integration scheme is applied to solve the transient thermomechanical problem in a staggered form. The constitutive mechanical model is elasto-viscoplastic with hardening incorporated with a Mises yield function. The finite element method is employed and a few 3D numerical examples are presented.
