Week 5 Bending of iPhone

Objective: The objective is to simulate the bending of an I-phone and calculate the deformation of the i-phone, Life and factor of safety of frame.

Materials:

• Display-Glass:

• Frame - Aluminium Alloy NL:

• Inside - polyethylene:

Geometry: The geometry used in both the cases are different.

Case 1:

Case 2: With respect to the geometry from case 1, the pushing fingers are shifted by X=22.5mm and Z=10mm.

Connections:

1.Contact Sets:

2.Joints:

a.Fixed:

b.Translational:

Mesh:

Analysis Settings:

1.Fixed Support:

2. Displacement: The displacement along X and Z-axis is kept constant(0).

3.Joints:
