Hi to all you FEA guys! Hoping you can shine some defining light onto an FEA aspect where I need to gain some more clarity.
The subject where I would appreciate your input is the FE analysis of pin loaded lug and clevis joints.
I've challenged myself to the task of creating a hand analysis...
Having worked in the Aerospace industry for a while, I’m under the impression the FE analysis of pin loaded lugs is a common occurrence. With todays FA software package capabilities in contact analysis, I’m interested to understand the standard approaches used in deriving the linear surface...
This is the first time I’ve posted a question on this website. Out of personal interest, I’ve generated an analysis template that calculates lug stresses for an axially loaded pin in a lug and clevis joint, both of which have parallel sides with a radius (not square ended). I want to compare...
