VERIFICATION OF WELD JOINTS
TITLE: VERIFICATION OF WELD JOINTS
OBJECTIVE: To verify the weld joints in different materials.
- At first I choose the materials for the simulation.
- I choose 4 different kind of materials i.e stainless steel,Aluminium alloy,Bronze and Copper.
- Then I import the geometry of the model.
- Then put the boundary conditions such as fixing the big plate and applyinf a load of 15000N on the centre hole of small plate.
- Now I mesh the model.
Case 1: Stainless steel
Case 2: Aluminium Alloy
Case 3: Bronze Metal.
RESULTS:
Directional Equivalent Equivalent Equivalent
Deformation Stress Strain Stress(Welds)
Case 1 1.67e-14mm 5.44e-10MPa 2.37e-15mm/mm 3.66e-10MPa
Case 2 1.56e-14mm 5.37e-10MPa 2.82e-15mm/mm 1.83e-10MPa
Case 3 1.69e-14mm 5.37e-10MPa 2.05 e-15mm/mm 1.89e-10MPa
CONCLUSION:
- Directional Deformation is maximum for the 3rd case i.e for Bronze material.
- Equivalent stress is similar in both the case 2 and case 3 i.e for the Bronze and Alluminium Alloy.
- Stress on the welds is higher in the case of stainless steel i.e Case 1.
- Equivalent strain is higher in the Aluminium Alloy.
