Simulation of a simple pendulum

A simple pendulum consists of a mass m hanging from a string of length L and fixed at a pivot point P. When displaced to an initial angle and released, the pendulum will swing back and forth with periodic motion. By applying Newton's secont law for rotational systems, the equation of motion for the…

Week 5 Sphere pressing on a plate

Objective:

Objective: Simulating a sphere pressing a flat plate and observing the plastic deformation in the plate. When the sphere is pressed onto the plate, the plate material will yield under the force applied on it due to the sphere being pressed into it. Once the sphere is retracted, the plate will undergo minute elastic spring…

    Week 4 -Wire Bending Challenge

    Objective:

    Objective: Simulating the bending of a wire made of different materials and comparing the stress and strains developed in the wire. Materials: The wire materials compared are copper alloy, aluminium alloy and magnesium alloy. All of these are taken as non-linear material models (bilinear isotropic hardening models) so…
