Week 5 Sphere pressing on a plate

Report Week 5 Sphere pressing on a plate

Aim: Simualte process of sphere press 4mm downwards and retract to plate. Use Structural steel for both sphere and plate but the material of the plate must be Non Linear. The plastic deformation must be captured.

Procedure:

Material:

Structral steel for sphere and structral steel NL for plate.

Geometry:

Symmetry region:

X axis

Z axis

Contact: sphere to plate

Mesh: default mesh

Analysis setting:

Fixed support

Diaplacement:

Result:

Directional Deformation

Equivalent stress

Equivalent plastic strain for plate:

Equivalent elastic strain for plate:

Equivalent elastic strain for sphere

Conclusion:

Simualted process of sphere press 4mm downwards and retract to plate. Use Structural steel for both sphere and plate but the material of the plate must be Non Linear. The plastic deformation has been captured.
