OUTLINE • Methods • Results • Discussion of Results • Conclusion • Summary
METHODS • Import model from ABAQUS • Strip model down to geometry • Split model into 15 parts • Analyze model • Missing shell elements • Dimensions match from notes • Thickness of each part • Match Lehigh experimental results • Begin matching ABAQUS results
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS • Mass • In calculations: 5070 pounds • From model: 4520 pounds • Should go up in modified model • Current model matches • Lehigh (296 kips vs 295 kips) • Equation 9 () • Expected characteristics • Stress concentrated in top and bottom rails
CONCLUSION • Current model produces good results • Modifications are slight • Should not change current results • New model is almost ready for testing
SUMMARY • ABAQUS model imported and stripped • Current model produces good results • Currently modifying model • Next up • Reproduce current results • Static analysis • Hit a column • Various orientations • Varying flexibility
