Hello,
I am working out a problem at work. To frame the problem as a conceptual one, I am designing a bolted connection to secure a flange to a web. The bolts are installed through the "top" of the flange and into the web. Say its a cantilever beam with a point load at the tip. I have computed...
Hello,
I am working on a problem to model the autofrettage process for a metallic pressure vessel. An initial internal pressure is applied to yield the interior of pressure vessel and this is unloaded. What results is compressive residual stresses with in the vessel's walls. I've developed the...
Hello,
Currently modeling a 1/8 slice of a cylinder with a center constriction. This is a smaller model to understand the material orientation changes and tools with in FEMAP. I'm currently stuck on how to go about defining the material coordinate system in both 2-D and later 3-D (extruding...
