    Bending moment, Shear force for a beam on a simply supported beam.

    Hi, From the problem in the image, how do we express P in terms of F? Does the couple generated by the I-beam on top of simply supported beam translate as-is into the bottom section and we can draw this as just another beam with 3 point loads? I am trying to refresh my Strength of Materials...

    2nd order tetrahedral element vs First order hexahedral element

    Hi, Between tet10 and brick, which of the above would be prefered for bolted joint analysis? Outside of a bolted joint, for other applications like crash analysis or for even a static stress analysis, which one would be better given meshing is not an issue? I understand that tet4 elements are...

    Abaqus Force Convergence issue due to large motion

    Hi, I am running an inertial relief based pin joint model in ABAQUS with a pin inserted in a casting bore (the mid portion of the shank lands in the bore of the casting). Between the interaction of the pin and the bore hole, there are 2 other components fitting in as "sleeves". The loads are...

    What is the use of Strain energy density in FEA for static stress analysis?

    I am trying to conduct fatigue life analysis for high cycle fatigue with stresses under yield. For that, I am trying to get stresses through NASTRAN. The model runs okay but there is a warning displayed saying 'high values of strain energy. the normal values should be zero.' Is strain energy...
