Simulation Models for Analysis of Structures – An Honors Project
Poster 164
In this comprehensive project, simulation models for analyzing a variety of mechanical and structural problems were developed utilizing the Abaqus Finite Element software. Finite elements is a powerful method for solving complex problems, especially for problems for which no closed-form solutions exist. The research project had two main phases. In the first phase, the behavior of mechanical parts subjected to a variety of loads was investigated. The results of that effort is presented in a different poster. 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 structural parts, along with the corresponding deformations and stress results. All computed results obtained in the study are in complete agreement with the analytical values provided in Reference [1], clearly establishing that the developed models are suitable and accurate.
