Week 9 Tension and Torsion test challenge
Week 9 Tension and Torsion test challenge
AIM
To run the Explicit dynamics analysis for Mechanism on a total of 2 different cases with change in load condition terms and provide the inference on the output.
Objective
To find and compare the results of Equivalent stress, directional deformation, Equivalent elastic strain, and contact pressure in all cases.
For this challenge, you will have to perform the tension and torsion test on the specimen provided below the video corresponding to the challenge.
For the tension test, displace one end of the specimen to 18mm while keeping the other fixed. You will need to find out the total deformation, equivalent stress and temperature of the specimen and attach appropriate images to show your results.
For the torsion test, you will need to displace one end of the specimen to an angle of 1200 degree. Find out the total deformation, equivalent stress and temperature of the specimen and attach images to show your results.

Import the model.

select the material.
Steel 1006
From the material librery in Explicit dynamics

create the two new coordinate system from the given rod on both side.
the two new coordinate system will be type of cartesian

Mesh the component with mesh option.
in mesh select the method option as tetrahedral

After that use face sizing
type as sphere of influence
radius = 22mm
element sizing of 3mm

Analysis setting
End time step = 1E-3
