Week 2 Railwheel and Track

Objective:

To perform the static structural analysis of the gicven Railwheel trach model.

Procedure:

• The model is importes in the static structural work bench and the material is assigned for the given geometry.
• The contacts were fixed, like wise the displacement and the planar surfaces.
• The track should be fixed.
• The wheel should be frixtion less.
• The wheel shaft should be fixed with the wheel.
• Now in contact select the contact surfaces.
• After select the joints like, Fixed, Translational and Planar.
• Give the mesh size as 35.
• In the Analysis part split the steps into 5 and give all the output controls.
• In that also give joint loads and bearing loads.
• In solution part calculate, total deformation , stress & strain.

Conclusion:

The static structural analysis of the gicven Railwheel track mode is analysed.

CASE i :

• The bearing load is provided as menstioned in the chart and the life is calculated.
• 100000 Bearing load
• user defined result :
• Expression : sqrt( Ux^2 +Uy^2+ Uz^2 )
• Time : 5s
• The max value is 616.51 Max.
• 100000 * 5 Bearing load
• user defined result :
• Expression : sqrt( Ux^2 +Uy^2+ Uz^2 )
• Time : 5s
• The max value is 731.31 Max.

CASE ii :

• The model is done in an user defined method and the result is recorded.
