Anaysis of Plastic deformation of Plate with Sphere

Analysis of Plastic deformation of Plate with Sphere

Analysis of Plastic deformation was done with a sphere on a Non linear material such that that sphere was allowed to deform plate by 4mm and subsquently all the parameter was captured.

The CAD Model was imported and is shown below.

To reduce computational time only a quarter of the model was selected.

CONTACT SET UP

A frictional contact with friction coefficient of 0.73 was set up between the sphere and plate.

MESH SET UP

Default Mesh was set up for this Analysis:

RESULT ANALYSIS

Deformation Analysis

As it can be inferred from the pic, the total deformation by the sphere on the non linear material is 4mm.

EQUIVALANT STRESS ANALYSIS

The maximum stress observed on the the plate is 3058.2 Mpa

The maximum equivalant strain anaysis was observed to be 0.01532mm
