نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the simulation of simple bending problem is performed using an example of cantilever beam which is an important structural member. The author executed numerical simulations for simple and cracked cantilever beams using finite element stiffness method, analytical beam theory, finite element package (ANSYS) and then verified results with code generated in C++ language. In conclusions, the comparison of results is tabulated and the graphs suggested that the finite element method give less deflection as compared with the results obtained using beam theory for any specific location along span length. MD-Solid software is used to draw bending moment and shear force diagram.

Finite element simulation of pyroplastic deformation, anisotropic shrinkage and heterogeneous densification for ceramic materials during liquid phase sintering process
Pyroplastic deformation is a distortion of the ceramic shape during the sintering process. It occurs because the flow of the vitreous phase at high temperature and the applied stress due to the weight of the product during sintering process. The aim of this paper deals with describing a numerical-experimental method to evaluate the pyroplastic deformation, to predict the anisotropic shrinkage a...
متن کاملA two dimensional Simulation of crack propagation using Adaptive Finite Element Analysis
Finite element method (FEM) is one of the most famous methods which has many applications in varies studies such as the study of crack propagation in engineering structures. However, unless extremely fine meshes are employed, problem arises in accurately modelling the singular stress field in the singular element area around the crack tip. In the present study, the crack growth simulation has b...
متن کاملAn Efficient Finite Element Formulation Based on Deformation Approach for Bending of Functionally Graded Beams
Finite element formulations based generally on classical beam theories such as Euler-Bernoulli or Timoshenko. Sometimes, these two formulations could be problematic expressed in terms of restrictions of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, in case of thicker beams due to non-consideration of transverse shear; phenomenon that is known as shear locking characterized the Timoshenko beam theory, in case of...
