Week 2 Railwheel and Track

OBJECTIVE:

To perform a static structural analysis on the Railwheel and Track setup for

Case 1: Bearing load 100000 N & 500000 N and compare the Total Deformation, Equivalent stress, and the life under both the loads.

Case 2: To Implement a User-defined result and calculate the Total Deformation from this result and check if it is the same as that obtained by the inbuilt result by ANSYS for a load of 100000 N.

Tool Used: Ansys Workbench 2019.

Case 1:

a) Boundary condition: Bearing Load = 10000 N

b)Total Deformation:

c) Equivalent Stress:

d) Life:

Case 2:

a) Boundary condition: Bearing Load = 50000 N

b)Total Deformation:

c) Equivalent Stress:

d) Life:

RESULT:

CASE 1: Analysis comparision in two different bearing loads are as follow:

SR NO	BEARING LOAD (N)	TOTAL DEFORMATION (mm)	EQUIVALENT STRESS (Mpa)	LIFE (IN CYCLES)
1	10000	999.08	95.64	549000
2	50000	999.08	388.4	2963

CASE 2:

To Implement a User-defined result and calculate the Total Deformation from this result and check if it is the same as that obtained by the inbuilt result by ANSYS for a load of 100000 N.

a) Total deformation using inbuilt result:

a) Total deformation using User-defined result:

Conclusion: User-defined result and obtained by the inbuilt result by ANSYS is the same.
