M&A Lab Manual Full Part-B

The document describes two finite element analysis simulations performed using computer aided modeling software: 1) A stress analysis of a rectangular plate with a circular hole subjected to axial tension. The FEM results for stress and deformation are compared to theoretical calculations. 2) A thermal analysis of a rectangular plate to determine its temperature distribution. Various boundary conditions including conduction and convection are applied. Steps for creating the geometry, mesh, applying materials properties and boundary conditions, and obtaining results are outlined.
