Deformation Analysis of a Triangular Mild Steel Plate Using CST as Finite Element

This research work aims to analyse isotropic triangular mild steel plate constrained by boundary condition using Finite Element Analysis with CST as master element. Static deformation analysis of a mild steel triangular plate fixed at one end under point loads at the free end has been performed using Constant Strain Triangle (CST) as finite element. FEA analysis techniques are used to find the deformation of the plate. Problem Modelling and simulation of the plate is done in ANSYS and the results obtained by the finite element analysis using Constant Strain Triangle (CST) are compared. Good agreement has been found out in the deformation results by both the methods. Simulation results are critically studied and salient conclusions have been drawn.
