Week 5 Bending of iPhone

For this challenge, simulate the bending of iPhone as per the given cases below

Case 1: Simulate the model as it is given in the video

Case 2: Move the bottom fingers from their defined position to the given position X= 22.5mm & Z- 10mm and obtain the results for the simulation. Also define the S-N curve for the Aluminium Alloy material as per values given below and determine the fatigue life results for

Results and Deliverables

. Obtain the directional deformation for the model

• Factor of Aluminium Alloy NL

. Life of the Aluminium alloy for the case

Compare the results and present with the conclusion.

Case Setup and Execution:

Assigning Material

Connections Settings:

1. In connection, All fingers are positioned as rigid bodies except bottom finger which is at the middle.

Contacts: Frictionless Contacts has been applied as shown below and contact Tree is also Displayed

Joints:

1. Joints has been applied as shown below. All blue shaded fingers are Fixed

MESHING

Analysis Settings:

In analysis setting, number of steps are 8 with large deflection is on. This setting is same for all steps.
