Week 5 Sphere pressing on a plate

AIM: To perform the simulation for Shpere pressing on plate.

PROCEDURE:

• So first we will import the geometry and apply the required parameters to it.

• After this we will assign the Structural steel to the spehre and Structural steel Non linear to the plate.
• Now after that we will apply the connection to the sphere and plate. Select contact as sphere and target as plate.

• After that change the setting as shown below:

• After that we will mesh the model with element size as 0.8mm.

• Now after that define the analysis setting.

• Now this is done we will fixed the support of the plate as shown:

• And then we will apply the displacement to the sphere as shown:

• After that click on the model and select the Symmetruc Region select the faces as shown:

• After this we will add the results we required and solve the equation,

Directional Deforamtion: 0.328 mm

Equivalent stree: 3466 MPa

Euqivalent strain: 0.0173 mm/mm

Conclusion:

• As we see the material is plastic because the plate does not regained its orignal shape after removing the load.
• All the results are plotted.
