Week 2 Railwheel and Track
Report week2 Railwheel and Track
Aim: Perform a static structural analysis on the Railwheel and Track setup
1. simulate case with 100000N and compare with 500000N bearing load, compare the Total Deformation, Equivalent stress and the life under both the loads
2. 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.
Procedure:
Import geometry:
Material is structral steel
Contact:
Joint:
Mesh:
Overall mesh size is 50mm, in contact area mesh size is 35mm
Analysis setting:
Joint-displacement:
bearing load: in case1 it is 100000N, in case2 it is 500000N
Result:
case1:
Total Deformation
Equivalent Stress
Equivalent Strain:
Fatigue Life
case2:
Total Deformation
Equivalent Stress
Equivalent Strain
Fatigue life
Conclusion:
1. Simulation of bearing load 100000N and 500000N are conducted. Total Deformation, Equivalent stress and the life under both the loads are compared.
2. User defined result is calculated the Total Deformation from this result. It is the same as that obtained by the inbuilt result by ANSYS for a load of 100000 N and 500000N.
