Challenge

Week 5 Sphere pressing on a plate

AIM:

For this challenge, perform the analysis to simulate a sphere pressing on a plate.

Use Structural steel for both sphere and plate but the material of the plate must be Non Linear.

Press the sphere onto plate 4mm downwards and retract it. The plastic deformation must be captured by you.

Procedure:

  • Open the Ansys workbench and change the engineering data in the model.
  • we should have to assign the Structural steel NL for the given plate and sphere.
  • we should have to create the contact for the material by the manual contact in the model.
  • we should have to create the symentric model for the model in the Z,X direction.
  • we should have to create the frictional value of 0.74 for the given model.
  • we should have to generate the mesh for the given model and we can refine the model if it necesary for the model for the fine mesh.
  • we should have to go o the analysis setting and give the time step of 4 and select the values.
  • And we should have to give the fixed load for the given model plate.
  • And we should have to give the displacement for the sphere in the negative y direction values.
  • we should have to give the output values of Deformation in the Y direction ,stress,strain.

Deformation in Y direction

Strain

Stress

  • Strain for the sphere
  • Hence the model for the given output parameter were been defined and the solution has been obtained for the given question.
