analysis of buckling phenomenon
Introduction :
This challenge is about conducting a buckling test on cyclonic converter stand for the given load and conducting an optimization study on it for different parameters such as stiffener position and so on. The results on the study is examined and various information are conveyed on the results are interpreted based on the optimization study. This optimization helps the in finding the right combination of the variables so that we get the optimist model ,which is a time saver
explanation :
Started with constructing the model on the solid works and the conducted the buckling analysis simulation on the stand, this results shows the factor of safety of the material for the given load and other parameters as well, then designed a stiffener and there is a rise in the factor of safety of the material. Assuming the given load to be the working load we conduct the optimization study using the convenient method that is provided by the solid work inter face .it has three main subdivisions in it the variables, constrains and goals , the variables are the ones whose values can be changes to get the optimum result ,then the constraints these are the necessary conditions the variables must satisfy in order to get the optimum model of the desired type and the goals are the conditions that is used to identify the model we can give different percentage of weightage to the goals so based on that the optimum results are generated ,in the optimization study that i conducted there were 44 scenarios in that 23 only passed the constraint condition out of which 1 is chosen as the optimum mode
various options are available under constrains
such as mass properties dimensions such as mass of the material ,costing data in which total cost of the material can be set as a constraint,i used the displacement constrain under the simulation option to the material so that the oscillation of the cyclonic separator stand is limited in both x and y direction
and in the goals i used mass, stress which are to be kept minimum so that the stand is more reliable the i used the dimension of the top plate to be maximum so that many components an be placed with enough space so base on these conditions the optimization study is been conducted
results:
solid 3d model
