TENSION AND TORSION TEST IN ANSYS WORKBENCH
Objective :
To perform the tension and torsion test on the specimen and find out the total deformation,equivalent stress and the temperature on the specimen.
TENSION TEST :
A tensile test, also known as a tension test, is one of the most fundamental and common types of mechanical testing. A tensile test applies tensile (pulling) force to a material and measures the specimen\'s response to the stress.
TORSION TEST :
Torsion testing involves the twisting of a sample along an axis and is a useful test for acquiring information like torsional shear stress, maximum torque, shear modulus, and breaking angle of a material or the interface between two materials.
EXPLICIT DYNAMICS :
- Fixed support is assigned to the one side of the specimen.
- Displacement is assigned to the other side of the specimen by displace of 18 mm.
Boundary conditions
SIMULATION RESULTS :
Total Deformation
Equivalent Stress
Temperature of the specimen

Conclusion :
As per the above results the max stress is 609.14 Mpa and the max deformation and temperature of the specimen are 18.003 and 267.44 respectively.
CASE-2 : TORSION TEST
SIMULATION SETUP :
COORDINATE SYSTEM :
The new coordinate systems are created at the both ends of the specimen and the cylindrical coordinate system is created at the middle of the specimen.
MESHING SETUP :
- specimen is meshed with a method of tetrahedrons.
- The cone shaped faces of the specimen are meshed with element size of 1.5mm.
- The both ends of the specimen are meshed with the type of sphere of influence with a sphere radius of 22 mm and element size of 3 mm.
- The centre of the specimen is meshed with the type of sphere of influence with a sphere radius of 8 mm and element size of 1 mm.
Face sizing
Meshed model
ANALYSIS SETTINGS :
The simulation is run with an end time of 1e-003 s.
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS :
- The one end of the specimen is fixed.
- Displacement is assigned to the specimen at the other end with 1200 degrees with reference to the newly created cylindrical coordinate system.
