Week 1 Stress Concentration on a Plate with hole

Case 1: Rectangular plate with single hole

Case 1: Rectangular plate with3 holes

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS:

Deformation:
- In both the cases we can observe that the maximum deformation is observed in the end whre the force is applied. The end which is fixed has a minimum deformation.
- Plate with three holes a higher deformation value compared to the plate with single hole.
Maximum stress:
- Mximum stress is observed in the plate with single hole. In both the cases the maximum stress is observed at the center hole.

CONCLUSIONS:

From analysis point of view, I would select the model with higher stress value. Because, the stress value will surely help in finalizing the design. Higher the stres value, the part can bear the higher load.
From manufacturing point of view, I would select the part which has a simple construction. Manufacturing other two holes for a plate is surely time consuming. Unless and until the other two holes are useful for the product, I would not prefer the model with three holes.
