Week 2 Railwheel and Track

Aim :

The aim is to analyse the given train track.

Objective:

Case 1: Multiply the bearing load by 5 times and compare the results with the load of 100000 N (As done in week 2 video). Compare the Total Deformation, Equivalent stress, and the life under both the loads

Case 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:

Initially open the work bench and load static structural and assign the engg data

then open the geometry and open the given file

then open it in the edit model in mechanical ansys

then assign the given values and requirements

and finally solve and extract the solutions.

Input expression used is ;(sqrt(UX^2+UY^2+UZ^2))

For case 1:

for case 2:

The animation files and archive are attached in the asset.

Result :

From the results the max fatigue is been same for both and the min fatigue is 188.5 for case 1 and 2532.2 for case 2 and the total deformation is same for the both the cases.
