Wire Bending Challenge

Question- for this challenge, you will have to perform an analysis to simulate the bending of a wire in ANSYS. You will have to use Copper Alloy (Non Linear), Aluminium Alloy (Non Linear) and Magne sium Alloy ( Non Linear) for the wire alone. You need to find out the Equivalent stress and Equivalent strain on the wire alone.

Wire bending model on which we are going to perform the analysis with three different non linear materials:

Total deformation obtained: Copper alloy NL

Strain: Copper alloy NL

Stress: Copper alloy NL

Different values of Stress, Strain and deformation obtained while performing the analysis for three different non-linear materials-

Solution/Material	copper alloy	aluminum alloy	magnesium alloy
equivalent stress(Mpa)	364.33	403.67	277.95
equivalent strain	0.003414	0.005743	0.00625
deformation(mm)	230.81	230.87	230.7

Conclusion- magnesium alloy NL would be the best suited material as the stress values are lesser in its case when compared with aluminium alloy NL and copper alloy NL.
