  1. 3D Beam Large Deflection Analysis ME 501 Tim Allred Jon Bell June 20, 2001

  2. Overview • Objective • Problem Definition • Analysis • Results • What we learned • Conclusion

  3. Project Objective • Model this mechanism in 3D • Compare deflection and stress results using large deflection analysis to: • Approximate 2D pseudo rigid body model • 2D beam model • 3D beam model using small deflection analysis

  4. Original Suspension Compliant Suspension 16 Material: Carbon/Epoxy Composite SUT: 330 ksi E: 20.6 Mpsi 6.5 14.6 500 lbs. Cross-Sectional Shape 2.0 X 0.215 in. Designed for 8 inches of vertical motion for 500 lb force input. Problem Definition

  6. 3D w/ large displacements 3D w/ small displacements 2D model Psuedo-rigid body results Displacement at node 7 9.7 inches 7.4 inches 8.6 inches 8 inches Maximum Stress 182 ksi 171 ksi 177 ksi N/A Results

  7. 3D large displacement model 2D model 3D small displacement model Displacements 8.6 “ 9.7 “ 7.4 “

  8. 3D large displacement model 2D model 3D small displacement model Stresses Stress distributions change Stressmax=182 ksi Stressmax=177 ksi Stressmax=171 ksi

  9. MR What we learned about ANSYS! • 2 Plane Bending • 3D beam Torsional Moment of Inertia • With no input, ANSYS automatically inserts polar moment of inertia or Ixx +Iyy • Maximum Stress includes only Bending + Axial Stresses • Shear Stress due to Torsion not included • For correct failure analysis, user would need to calculate shear stress by hand

  10. Conclusions • 3D modeling with large displacement is necessary for accurate results on this particular problem due to the torsion introduced on the compliant member • ANSYS is very useful in predicting results and learning about the important parameters of the problem • Prototype would need to be built for accurate verification of results
