Week 3 Verification of Weld Joints

Verification of weld joints 

Procedure: 

First, we need to assign Material for the Weld joint four different cases. 

now we have to open space claim in order to check the components proper or not. 

Now we have to define contact faces of the wealth geometry by selecting the contact or target bodies. define the type of contact as frictional contact with coefficient of friction as 0.3 or the connection between ribs and plate. then the rest connection is kept as bonded. 

Now we have to assign mesh for the geometry by using sizing option by giving 7mm for the two plates.

 

Now defining the fixed supports by selecting the faces and also giving force in the Y direction of 15000N 

Results: 

For case 1: 

Directional deformation 

Equivalent stress for weld joints 

Equivalent strain for two ribs 

Equivalent stress 

Safety factor 

For case 2: 

Directional deformation 

Equivalent stress for weld joints 

Equivalent strain for two ribs 

Equivalent stress

 

Safety factor 

For case 3: 

Directional deformation 

Equivalent stress for weld joints 

Equivalent strain for two ribs 

Equivalent stress 

Safety factor 

	Directional Deformation	equivalent strain	equivalent stress
Case 1	0.35134	0.00050916	337.68
Case 2	0.36541	0.00049161	342.49
Case 3	0.39575	0.00065915	347.3

 conclusion:

From the above results the stress on bronze cast material used as welding joint as the maximum equivalent stress among the other materials.
