Mechanics of Materials (MCT-214L)

LAB Task 2

Submitted By: Dawood Imtiaz (2019-MC-27)

DEPARTMENT OF MECHATRONICS & CONTROL

Procedure:
• First of all, Open the Mechanical APDL Launcher then Run that a new working screen will
open Infront of you.
• Then give it a title like Circular Rod 2019-MC-27.
• Now we have to create a solid cylinder for the experiment for this we have to go to
Preprocessing>Modeling>Create>Volumes>Cylinder>Solid Cylinder.
• So, a cylinder will be shown on the screen as below.
• Now we have to define the material properties for this we will click on
Preprocessing>Material Properties>Material Model>Structural>Linear>Elastic>
Isotropic.
• Write 99.5e6 in the EX-block and 0.25 in front of the PRXY for the radius.
• Now for the element type we will go to the Element Type>Add/Edit/Delete>Add>
Solid>Brick 8 Node 185
• Now for the important part that is meshing of the material. For this we will go to the
Meshing>Mesh Tools>Select Hex/Wedge>Sweep. Then another box will appear and
we will select Pick All.
• In this we will use Hex meshing with Global Value 0.
• So, our meshing will look like the following.
• Now for the solution phase we will go to the Solution>Define Loads>Apply>
Structural>Displacement>Select Box.
• Then it will look like this.

• Then for applying pressure we will go the Solution>Define Loads>Apply>Structural>

• Then we will do the solution for the problem. For this we will go to Solution>solve>
current LS. Then will be a message displayed Solution done.
• Now to see the Deformed and Undeformed shape of the cylinder will go to the go
Postprocessing>Plot Result>Deformed. Then select Deformed +Undeformed.
 • Then for the list of the results we will go to the postprocessing>list result>nodal
solution>DOF solution>displacement vector sum.

Hand Calculations:
With Global value 0.005
In this we will change only Global Value and the meshing as Tertra and the remaining
process will be same. And the results we will as follows.
• After applying the Pressure.

• And the results will be as follows:

Conclusion:
And here after repeating the problem several times by changing the element type and
meshing we concluded the best accurate results are obtained by using the element type as brick 8
node 185 and 0 number of divisions 0 edge length.
