Description
In this honors thesis, simulation models for analyzing a variety of mechanical and structural problems were developed utilizing the Abaqus Finite Element software. The finite element method is a powerful method for solving complex problems, especially problems for which no closed-form solutions exist. The project had two main phases. In the first phase, the behavior of mechanical parts subjected to various applied loads such as bending moments, torsional loads, and temperature loads were investigated. The specific results consist of simulation models of the studied mechanical parts, along with the corresponding deformations and stress results. During the second phase, structural components such as trusses, portal trusses, and frames were analyzed. Included in the presentation are sample developed simulation models of the studied mechanical and structural parts, along with the corresponding deformations and stress results. The computed results obtained in the study are in complete agreement with the analytical values, clearly establishing that the developed models are suitable and accurate.
