Stress Due to Gravity

Created using ANSYS (Version Number)

Learning Goals

In this tutorial, you will learn to:

  • (e.g.: Determine the displacements and stresses in a bike crank using 3D FEA capabilities in ANSYS Mechanical)
  • (e.g.: Verify the finite-element results from ANSYS by refining the mesh and also comparing with hand calculations)
Note

Under Construction

AIM 17.1

Problem Specification

Consider the geometry in the figure below.  The slender bar is 3 inches wide, 2 inches tall, and 50 inches long.  The large block on the end of the bar is 9 inches wide, 6 inches tall, and 6 inches long.  Both are made of structural steel with a Young’s modulous of 2.90075E+7 and a poisson’s ratio of .3.  The left end of the bar is fixed to a wall, and the geometry is subjected to standard earth gravity.  Calculate the maximum equivalent stress in the geometry.
