Week 5 Bending of iPhone

Objective: To simulate the bending of iPhone for the following two cases:

1. Case 1: Pressing fingers at their respective default positions.
2. Case 2: Pressing fingers displaced by 22.5 mm along `x` and 10 mm along `z` from their respective default positions.

Procedure:

1. Contacts (1 to 5):
2. Contacts (6 to 10):
3. Contacts (11 to 15):
4. Contacts (16 to 17):
5. Joints (1 to 5):
6. Joints (6 to 10):
7. Meshing (Default Mesh Size):
8. Boundary Conditions:
   1. Case 1:
   2. Case 2:

Analysis:

1. Case 1:
   1. Directional Deformation:
   2. Safety Factor:
   3. Life:
2. Case 2:
   1. Directional Deformation:
   2. Safety Factor:
   3. Life:

Result:

Cases	Directional Deformation (mm)		Safety Factor		Life (Cycles)
	Maximum	Minimum	Maximum	Minimum	Maximum	Minimum
Case 1	5.7265	-0.87086	15	0.38467	1×10^8	0
Case 2	4.5289	-0.31194	15	0.63322	1×10^8	0

Conclusion: The maximum directional deformation is greater in case 1 than case 2. The minimum safety factor is greater in case 2 than case 1. Fatigue life is similar in both cases.
