Verification & Validation
The following tables compares the results from analytical calculations with ANSYS simulation.
The solutions are reasonable because there are several factors ignored in the analytical equations. For example: There is a closed end on the actual cylinder which was not taken into consideration when deriving the analytical equations, The moment arm is not applied to the tangential axis of the cylinder, and finally the stiffness of the suspension arms were never incorporated. Therefore, the ANSYS did give a reasonable result and can be confidently used to simulate torsional properties of composite geometries.
