Nor Cal SE - The frame is mounted on a stationary steel plate.
For calculation purposes I am referencing the link posted on this thread (http://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/238678/238678.pdf).
My question is if it would be suitable to use a static failure theory (Von Mises) to...
DETstru - For your equations, would you mind giving me your source? I'd like to see the formulations to those equations.
Thanks for your help and thanks to all for the feedback and replies.
Hi peeps,
This frame will be bolted on the ground. The load applied is shown by the red arrow, my question is how to deal with this loading type. Can anyone recommend an analysis method for the bolts ? I know the bolts are undergoing shear force and bending moment (out-of plane), but I'm not...
Splendid!
Great links, I am aware of how important the meshing is. Do you have any book recommendations that address these factors ?
Also,
I will try the Revolute for the bolts hole. Do you have a better recommendation on how to model a surface contact (Contact between frame and flat surface) ...
Thanks Jeff!
Do you have a reason why I wouldn't be able to use a cylindrical support on the bolt holes?
Also this framing will be modeled to rest on a flat surface, which constraint will be fit that condition ? I was thinking on using a frictionless support (Applies constraint normal to the...
The post is not coursework or project. We are during summer break right now, I am simply learning the software package ANSYS. Would you be able to help with the small question I asked?
Hi everyone,
I'm working on performing some static analysis on the frame shown in the picture.
Can you guys assist me in pick the correct constraint for the bolt holes ?
Also, which constraint will be suitable to represent the contact between the trailer and the frame ?
Thanks!!!
