A Finite element analysis has been done using ANSYS, to study the static strength of an offshore tubular T-joint. The strength of T-tubular joints with circular cross section tube chord with circular cross section tube brace is investigated. To determine the joint strength of these T-joint subjected to tension, compression, in -plane bending and out-of-plane bending loading cases have been carr...

This paper describes the ANSYS simulation of an electrostatically-actuated MEMS device, in which the drive voltages are computed using feedback control laws. The device consists of a movable electrode suspended on flexible, elastic structures, and one or more fixed drive electrodes. The feedback control laws are used to determine the level of a variable voltage supply in a drive circuit for eac...

It is possible to model smart structures with piezoelectric materials using the product ANSYS/Multiphysics. In this study, the integration of control actions into the ANSYS solution is realized. First, the procedure is tested on the active vibration control problem with a two-degrees of freedom system. The analytical results obtained by the Laplace transform method and by ANSYS are compared. Th...

The machine tool spindle provides the relative motion between the cutting tool and the workpiece which is necessary to perform a material removal operation. In turning, it is the physical link between the machine tool structure and the workpiece, while in processes like milling, drilling or grinding, it links the structure and the cutting tool. This work deals with design and analysis of Lathe ...

At ANSYS Workbench 11.0, the ANSYS Rigid Dynamics add-on module enables users to define joint connections in complex kinematic assemblies. This ability to model rigid and flexible parts in ANSYS Workbench Simulation via joints is beneficial since the rigid parts are modeled with mass and rigid links (that is, rigid contact elements), thus providing load transfer capabilities and allowing users ...
