| description | Beam has been widely used ever since ancient times, and can be seen in
use almost everywhere in almost any structures we find today. Because of
our reliance of beams, a failure of beams could spell disaster to overall
structure integrity, and may even cause harm to human beings. As different
types of beams are available in the market, mainly characterized by their
cross-sectional profile and materials, it is important to study and understand
their characteristics and their potential failures, through for this project
focusing on finite element simulations of aluminium beam.
The project utilises commercial Finite Element Analysis software, ANSYS.
Each of the different profiles of aluminium beams will be subjected to three
different material models, being the elasto-plastic, isotropic strain hardening,
and real material. Modelling process details and considerations will be
discussed. Various phenomenons that exist in during the simulation will also
be discussed. Results garnered from the simulations will be tabulated and
verified with theoretical calculations.
Overall the aim of this project is to try to reproduce the phenomenon as
discussed in Mechanics of Materials theories, and re-verifying the results
from the previous project attempted, as well as to try to try out new profiles
that will aid in possible future project progress. |
