Week 4 -Wire Bending Challenge

WIRE BENDING CHALLENGE

Objective:- To perform a Static Structural Analysis using Ansys Workbench for three different materials(Copper Alloy NL, Aluminium Alloy NL & Magnesium Alloy NL). And find out Equivalent Stress and Equivalent Strain produce on Wire alone and also compare the results

First to import the given geometry in Ansys. And then define the material properly. We have to change only wire materials and Plate and Handle material are the same Structural Steel.

• The image of the model given below:

• Now come to properties of Materials one by one:

• Now come to details of the Frictional Contacts:

• Now come to Revolute joint Detail:

• Details of Meshing given below:

Details of Analysis Setting given below:

Details of Fixed Support given below:

Details of load given below:

NOW COME TO RESULTS:

FOR COPPER ALLOY NL :
