Week 1 Stress Concentration on a Plate with hole

1. Compare the deformation and Max stress developed.

The Dformation max acieved in the both the cases are same which is about 0.00027943 mm. But for the max von mises stress the case 1 has 0.59527 Mpa and case 2 has 0.57238 Mpa.

2. Design selection:

As a designer I would select case 1 becuase the stress and deformation results are more or less similar and case one has the less manufaturing process with low cost.

3. Manufacturing:

Case 1 is selected for easy manufacturing because of one hole only compared to case 2

4. Both the cases are analysed on same constraints with one end fixed and other end with 500 N force applied. The objective of this project was to find out the analytical differences and design interest with each other and also along with a manufacturability study. After the results both the plates exihibited similar results with the Case 2 having a slightly less stress.
