Experiment no-5 Comparison of Stress Concentrated Loads

Opening Workbench
1.On your Windows 7 Desktop click the Start button.
2.Under Search Programs and Files type “ANSYS”
3.Click on ANSYS Workbench to start workbench. This step may take time.

Comparison of Stress Concentrated Loads


1.As you open ANSYS you can see the entire array of problems on the left had side this software
can help you solve. The problem at hand is a Static Structuralproblem. Doubleclick Static
Structural (ANSYS) to open the task manager for your problem set in theProject Schematic
area.
2.ANSYS allows you to build on each problem, so it is smart to name each project. At the
bottom of the task manager you will see Static Structural (ANSYS), double click this to change
the name. For this problem choose “3DCantilever beam.”

Engineering Data
To begin setup for your cantilever beam, double click or right click on Engineering Data and
clickedit. This will bring up another screen.
This new window will allow you to alter the material properties of your cantilever beam. Under
Outline of Schematic A2: Engineering Data, it shows click here to add a new material,
thismenu allows you to input the material of your cantilever beam, double click and type
Aluminum.

Double click on Isotropic Elasticity to give the material the same properties across the beam.
This action brought up a new table on the right; this allows us to add necessary properties.
Asshow on the top right of the screen in Table of Properties Row 2: Isotropic Elasticity:
1. Click in Temperature and type 25
2. Click in Young’s Modulus and type 70E9 or 7E10
3.Click in Poisson’s Ratio and type 0.33
4. Make sure to DELETE the Temperature entry after property input before continuing! Failure
to do so will lead to errors later.

After filling in the properties, this concludes the Engineering Data, to return to the project
schematic area, click on seen on the upper tab.

Geometry-GEOMETERY 1(Non Filleted)


Base Geometry
1. Go to Workbench -> Project Schematic -> Geometry and double click. This will open
a new window for ANSYS Design Modeler where the Geometry will be created.
2. Note: Select meters and hit ok
3. In the new window, click the Display Plane icon to toggle the coordinate system.
4. Go to Design Modeler > Tree Outline >right click on XY Plane. Click Look At to view
the YZ plane.
5. Go to Design Modeler -> Tree Outline -> Sketching
6. Click on Rectangle and Click off Auto-Fillet:
7. Draw a rectangle by
free hand.
8. Give the geometry
dimensions i.e.
V2=50mm and

H1=100mm.
9. Extrude the geometry to the height=30mm.

10. Select the Face Element or pressCtrl+F.


11. Select the longer face of the solid, and click on sketching. Draw another rectangle over the
longer face and give dimensions V1=30mm and H2=70mm.
12. Extrude the face at height 50mm.
13. Close the Design Modeler and switch to the Model from Project Schematic.
14. Select Mesh(right click)>>Generate Mesh.

15. Select Static Structural(Right Click)>>Insert>>Fixed Support.


16. Choose the base as the fixed support and select apply.
17. Select Static
Structural(Right
Click)>>Insert>>F
orce.
18. Choose the top
surface of the as
geometry to
apply.
19. Select the
Magnitude and
give it the value of
1000N.
20. Give the direction as shown.
21. Choose Total Deformationand Max. principle Stress from solver and click on SOLVE.
22. Note the values of theTotal Deformation=8.164x10-5and the value for Max.
Principle Stress= 0.47258MPa at the meeting edges.

Geometry-GEOMETERY 2(Filleted)

9. Extrude the geometry to the height=30mm.

10. Select the Face Element or pressCtrl+F.


11. Select the longer face of the solid, and click on sketching. Draw another rectangle over the
longer face and give dimensions V1=30mm and H2=70mm.
12. Extrude the face at height 50mm.
13. Now add a fillet over the meeting edges to the solid.

14. Give the value of the filleted radius equal 3mm.


15. Select the meeting edges and click generate.
16. Close the Design Modeler
and open
MODEL.
17. Select Static Structural(Right Click)>>Insert>>Fixed Support.
18. Choose the base as the fixed support and select apply.
19. Select Static Structural(Right Click)>>Insert>>Force.
20. Choose the top surface of the as geometry to apply.
21. Select the Magnitude and give it the value of 1000N.
22. Give the direction as shown.
23. Choose Total Deformationand Max. principle Stress from solver and click on SOLVE.
24. Note the Values of Total Deformation=0.00024723 mm and that of Max. Principle Stress
=1.5143MPa at the fillet point.
Now compare both the values.

Sr. No. TOTAL DEFORMATION MAX. Principle Stress

GEOMETERY 1 8.24x10-5 0.4258MPa.

GEOMETERY 2 8.124x10-5 0.32577MPa.
