Hi All,
Quick background on the matter:
1. I have conducted a non-linear FEA (using ANSYS) on a super duplex stainless steel tube (Tube dimensions: 15.875mm ID and 1.00mm WT, Poisson's: 0.3, Young's Modulus = 200 GPa) representing the lateral crushing of a tube between two flat plates.
2. I...
I'm looking for ways in which I can calculate the displacement (vertical and horizontal) of a tube being crushed between two flat plates. I have managed to set up a non-linear material profile and simulate this problem using ANSYS however would like some sort of hand calculation to ensure I am...
