Introduction
Figure 1 Rail Wheel Track (Track, Wheel and Shaft)
Objectives
- To perform the rail wheel track simulation with a bearing load of 500KN (5×100KN) and analyse the failure.
- To perform the user defined result of total deformation and checking for the case 1 (100KN) bearing load.
Material Properties.
Loading and Meshing.
Post Processing Results
Bearing load - 100KN
Bearing load - 5×100 KN =500 KN
Conclusion
Stresses are increased by 75% on applying the bearing load by 5 times.(500KN*5)
User defined function results are matching with the actual simulation results from ANSYS.
