No : 6 ANALYSIS OF BRACKET USING ANSYS


Date :
AIM
To conduct the stress and deflection analysis of Rectangular L-section bracket using
ANSYS software.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Young’s Modulus : 200 GPa


Poisson’s ratio : 0.3

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
RAM : 8GB
Processor : Core 2 Quad / Core 2 Duo
Operating system : Window 8/9/10/11
Software : ANSYS (Version 2022R1)

PROCEDURE
The three main steps to be involved are,
 Pre Processing
 Solution
 Post Processing
Start - All Programs - ANSYS Mechanical APDL 2022 R1
- Set the Working Directory as E Drive, User; Job Name as Roll No., Ex. No. - Click Run.

Pre-processing
 Utility menu: Select File - Change Title - Enter the title (Give title of your choice) in
the window appeared and Click OK.

in K3 - OK - Close.
 Preprocessor - Real Constants - Add/Edit/Delete - Add - OK - THK 0.5 -
OK - Close.
 Preprocessor - Material Props - Material Models - Structural - Linear -
Elastic - Isotropic - EX=2e5, PRXY=0.3 - OK - Exit.
 Preprocessor - Modeling - Create - Areas - Rectangle - By Dimensions,
X1 X2 Y1 Y2

0 50 0 20

30 50 -20 20

 Preprocessor - Modeling - Create - Areas - Circle - Solid Circle, X=0,


Y=10, Radius=10 - Apply. X=40, Y=-20, Radius=10 - OK.
 Operate - Booleans
- Add - Areas - Pick All - OK.
 Preprocessor - Modeling - Create - Areas - Circle - Solid Circle, X=0,
Y=10, Radius=5 - Apply. X=40, Y=-20, Radius=5 - OK.
 Operate - Booleans - Subtract - Areas - Pick the Bracket area - OK - Pick
the two smaller circles - OK.
 PlotCtrls - Numbering - Turn ON line numbering - OK.
 Preprocessor - Modeling - Create - Lines - Line Fillet - Pick line 18 & 24
- Apply - Enter Fillet radius=4 - OK.
 Preprocessor - Modeling - Create - Areas - Arbitrary - By Lines - Pick
line 10, 11&12 - Apply - OK.
 Preprocessor - Modeling - Operate - Booleans - Add - Areas - Pick All -
OK.
 Preprocessor - Meshing - Mesh Tool - Area-Set - Select the object - OK -
Element edge length=5 - OK - Select TRI or QUAD & Free/Mapped - Mesh
- Select the object - OK.
Solution
 Solution - Analysis Type - New Analysis - Static - OK.
 Solution - Define Loads - Apply - Structural - Displacement - On Lines -
Pick the four lines of left-hand hole - Apply - All DOF - OK.
 Solution - Define Loads - Apply - Structural - Pressure - On Lines - Pick
line in bottom left part of the circle - Apply - Enter the Load PRES
value=5000 & Optional PRES value=50000 - Apply - Pick line in bottom
right part of the circle - Apply - Enter the Load PRES value=50000 &
Optional PRES value=5000 - OK.
 Solution - Solve - Current LS - OK (Solution is done displayed) - Close.
Post Processing
 General Postproc - Plot Results - Contour Plot - Nodal Solution - DOF
Solution - Displacement vector sum - OK.
 PlotCtrls - Capture Image - Saved the image.

 General Postproc - Plot Results - Contour Plot - Nodal Solution - Stress -


von Mises stress - OK.
 PlotCtrls - Capture Image - Saved the image.

 General Postproc - Plot Result - Deformed Shape


- Choose Def+undeformed - OK.

 To find the stress the values around the circumference of hole


Select entities >lines >by num/pick> select the lines 4 quarters of the circle >ok
Select entities >nodes > attached to > all lines > ok
Plot nodes> all nodes around the hole will be displayed on screen
List results > nodal solution>stress>von mises stress> ok

NODAL SOLUTION: Stress values around the circumference of hole

Node No Von Mises stress

RESULT
Thus the stress analysis of Rectangular L-section bracket is done by using
the ANSYS Software.
