Comparison Of Bending Of Beams

AIM - To do comparing of bending of beams.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT :

Our main objective is to compare the performance of the given three different beams which are rectangular beam, I-section, C channel.

ABOUT BEAM:

A beam is a structural member which is used to bear loads applied to them. It is used to resist vertical loads, shear forces and bending moments. Based on equilibrium conditions we have :

1. Statically determinate beam – For a statically determinate beam, equilibrium conditions alone can be used to solve reactions.
2. Statically indeterminate beam – For a statically indeterminate beam, equilibrium conditions are not enough to solve reactions. Additional deflections are needed to solve reactions.

PROCEDURE FOR THIS PROJECT:

1. Creating the 2D design for the given beams i.e rectangular beam, I- section and C-channel.
2. Applying extrude bose/base to make 3D design.
3. Now using simulation, reating new project.
4. Choosing material for the beam.
5. Applying fixturesa and loads.
6. Creating mesh.
7. After creating mesh, running the simulation.

FOR RECTANGLUAR BEAM:

FOR I-SECTION:

FOR C -CHANNEL:

RESULTS:

BEAMS Maximum Von Mises Stress [ N/MM^2] Maximum Displacement [mm] Maximum Strain [mm]

1. Rectangular 9.44 3.102e-02 2.995e-05

2. I-section 20.12 8.331e-02 7.760e-05

3. C- channel 43.99 3.470e-01 1.515e-04

As for different areas of a project need different things, so we select a beam profile for those needs. Out of these three the best beam is I- section beam because of unidirectional bending in it.

CONCLUSION:

The design and comparison for different beams have been done successfully.
