Week 9 Tension and Torsion test challenge

Simulation of tension and torsion test using ANSYS workbench

Objectiive: to perform the tensile test and torsion test on the given specemen for the following cases.

tensille test: displace one end of the specimen to 18mm while keeping other end fixed.

torsion test: displace one end of the specimen to an angle angle of 1200 degree.

Geometry:

material:

coordinate systems:

create 2 coordinate systems on both sides of the specimen for the tensile test.

create another cylindrial coordinate system on in the middle of the specimen for the torsion test.

mesh:

analysis settings:

boundary conditions:

fixed support:

displacement

results:

tensile test:

total deformation:

equivalent stress:

temparature:

torsion test:

total deformation:

equivalent stress:

temparature:

results	tensile test	torsion test
total deformation:	18.014	11.278
equivalent stress:	534.74	642.35
temperature:	340.99	420.51

conclusion:

we observe in both cases the specimen reaches its fracture point and breaks. the temperature is also high in both the cases at the fracture point , because when deformation occers in the specimen it will realease energy in the form of temperature.
