    Semester 2020-2021
    Tutorial 1
    Problem Statement
    A Cantilever beam of length 1 m and the cross section of 10 x 10 mm is subjected
    to the point
    load as shown in the figure. Determine the maximum deflection of beam at the
    free end. Also determine the shear force and bending moment diagram. Validate
    the numerical simulation with analytical equation. Consider the material as steel
    of E = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and Poisson ratio as 0.3.

    Shear force and Bending moment diagram

    Comparison of Maximum deflection by Numerical and Analytical approach

    The maximum deflection as per the analysis is 293.78 while as


    the maximum deflection, we get by analytical is 293.7 mm
    which is very close in agreement with the numerical analysis
    Observations and Conclusions
    Maximum deflection at free end of cantilever is maximum and it is 293.78mm
    Tutorial 2
    Problem Statement
    A bracket made up of steel material and has a constant thickness of 5 mm is bolted at the small
    holes and load of 20 kN is applied as shown in figure. Determine the stress and deflection of
    the bracket considering as 2D plane stress condition. If the load is made to act as fluctuating
    load from 0 kN to 20 kN determine the fatigue life of the bracket. Also compare the results by
    considering aluminium as the material for bracket.

    Equivalent Stress Plot (Steel)

    Fatigue Life (Steel)


    Maximum Deflection Plot (aluminum) is 0.1661 mm

    Equivalent Stress Plot (aluminum)


    Fatigue Life (aluminum)

    Observations and Conclusions


    Maximum deflection for steel is 0.058 mm while as for aluminum it is much more 0.166mm
    Also fatigue life for steel is greater than that of Aluminum alloy.
    Hence for this application steel is better suited than aluminum.

    For abuse condition the stress induced will be more than the
    ultimate stress hence it will fail.
    Tutorial 5
    Problem Statement
    Hot fluid is passing through a steel pipe of 50 mm outer diameter and thickness
    of 2 mm. Temperature of the fluid is of 80oC and the thermal conductivity of pipe
    material is of 40 W/moC. Polyethylene based insulator of thermal conductivity 0.1
    W/moC is used as the insulator to avoid the heat loss and to maintain room
    temperature at the outer surface of the pipe. Determine the thickness of the
    insulator to maintain the outer temperature as of 30oC. Also consider teflon
    based insulator of thermal conductivity 0.35 W/moC in the place
    of polyethylene and compare the temperature changes at the outer surface of
    pipe. Consider 30 mm as the length of pipe for analysis. Room temperature is
    26oC. Convection Film Coefficient of air is 40 W/m2 oC.

    Polyethylene based insulator


    Temperature plot with respect to the outer surface temperature near to 30oC ( OD is 75.5
    mm)
    Teflon based insulator
    Temperature plot with respect to the outer surface temperature near to 30oC
    (OD is 117 mm)
    Observations and Conclusions

    In order to reduce number of nodes the divisions in sweep were


    reduced to 5 in the case of polyethylene and to 2 for Teflon as
    the temperature conditions along the length remain more or less
    the same.
    For polyethylene the outer surface temperature is near to 30
    when OD is 75.5mm while as for Teflon based insulator the
    outer temperature of 30.6 occurs at OD of 117 mm.

    subjected to a temperature of 75 deg Celsius, and air of heat transfer coefficient
    of 1e-4 W/mm2 ˚C is passed over the other surface. Determine the temperature
    distribution on the cover plate and also the residual stress induced in the cover
    plate. The material used for analysis is Structural Steel Thermal Analysis

    211 hz and has amplitude of 2.92 mm in X- dir and 1.688 mm in
    Y- direction. After applying the damping ratio of 0.01 we reduce
    the amplitude in x direction gets reduced to 0.1mm.
