Week 4 -Wire Bending Challenge

AIM:

For this challenge, you will have to perform an analysis to simulate the bending of a wire in ANSYS. You will have to use Copper Alloy (Non Linear), Aluminium Alloy (Non Linear) and Magnesium Alloy ( Non Linear) for the wire alone. You need to find out the Equivalent stress and Equivalent strain on the wire alone. Compare the results and submit

Procedure:

• Open the Ansys work Bench and import the Given model.

• Before importing the given model we should have to create the engineering material of Aluminium,Copper,Magnesium Alloy.

•

• We should import the model and rename the Three parts as Wheel wire,Lever.

• we should have to create the contact in the connection we should have to delete the two contact present intial phase and we should have to create the duplicate contact and flip the contacts and rename.

• we should have to select the contact and Target bodies on the contacts.

• we should have to give the Joint connection in the model.

• For the joint connection we use the revolution joint and we should have to give the refrenece geomentry according to the given direction.

• we should have to create the mesh sizing for the contacts given below with the mesh size of 2.2mm for the model.

• we should have to create a Refrenece Geometry in the given model and we should have to select the Target contact.

COMPARISON OF EQUIVALENT STRESS ON THE WIRE ALONE:

Stress
Copper Alloy
Maximum= 638Mpa
Mininum=0.4385Mpa
Aluminium Alloy
Maximum=464.75Mpa
Mininum=0.0025Mpa
Magnesium Alloy
Maximum=449.73Mpa
Mininum=0.00024Mpa
Strain
Copper Alloy
Maximum=0.0031766mm
Mininum=7.80028e-8mm
Aluminium Alloy
Maximum=0.0065932 mm
Mininum=0.00001mm
Magnesium Alloy
Maximum=0.01006mm
Mininum=0.00001mm

CONCLUSION:

Thus, performed an analysis to simulate the bending of a wire in ANSYS by using the materials as Copper Alloy (Non Linear), Aluminium Alloy (Non Linear) and Magnesium Alloy ( Non Linear) for the wire alone.
