Sphere Pressing Plate

OBJECTIVE- To perform the analysis to simulate a sphere pressing on a plate. Use Structural steel for sphere is Non Linear.

MATERIAL USED-

Structural Steel

Structural Steel Non Linear -

CONTACTS-

The default regions are deleted and new frictional contact pair is defined between sphere and plate. Sphere is the contact body and the Plate is the target body.

The defined contact is Frictional. Coefficeint of Friction is 0.74

Meshing- Meshing is done using element size of 0.5mm.

ANALYSIS SETTINGS-

Defining SYmmetry in body along Z and X axis

Fixed Support

RESULT-

Equivalent Stress on Plate - 9180 Mpa

DIRECTIONAL DEFORMATION- 0.327 mm

Equivalent Elastic Strain-0.016
