Week 4 -Wire Bending Challenge

The deformation figure below confirms the total displacement of the workpiece is 90mm.

Total deformation obtained: Copper alloy NL

Strain: Copper alloy NL

Stress: Copper alloy NL

Different values of Stress, Strain and deformation obtained while performing the analysis for three different non-linear materials-

Solution/Material	copper alloy	aluminum alloy	magnesium alloy
equivalent stress(Mpa)	364.33	403.67	277.95
equivalent strain	0.003414	0.005743	0.00625
deformation(mm)	230.81	230.87	230.7

Conclusion- magnesium alloy NL would be the best suited material as the stress values are lesser in its case when compared with aluminium alloy NL and copper alloy NL.
