LAB 06: Maximum deflection analysis of fixed-fixed beam

with uniformly distributed load using COMSOL Multiphysics.

Objectives:

 To find the maximum deflection of fixed-fixed beam with uniformly distributed

load analytically.
 To numerically study the effect of different parameters on the deflection of
fixed-fixed beam with uniformly distributed load.
 To Learn how to model and simulate fixed-fixed beam with uniformly
distributed load in COMSOL Multiphysics.
 To perform the stationary analysis of fixed-fixed beam with uniformly
distributed load.
 To find out the error between analytical and FEA results.

Software/Apparatus/Tools:

• MATLAB/Microsoft Excel Software.

• COMSOL Multiphysics Software.

Theory:
In this lab we are going to study about beam, its types, loading conditions etc. which are as
follow:

Beam:
A beam is a horizontal structural member in a building to resist the lateral loads applied to the beams
axis. The structural member which resists the forces laterally or transversely applied to the (beam) axis is
called a beam.
Beams are traditionally descriptions of building or civil engineering structural elements, but any structures
such as automotive automobile frames, aircraft components, machine frames, and other mechanical or
structural systems contain beam structures that are designed to carry lateral loads are analyzed in a similar
fashion.

Figure 6.1: Beam

Types of beam:
The following are the Important types of beam:

2
 DEPARTMENT OF MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING
UNIVERSITY OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, PESHAWAR
MtE-222L Mechanics of material LAB, 4th Semester

1. Cantilever beam,
2. Simply supported beam,
3. Overhanging beam,
4. Fixed beams, and
5. Continuous beam.

Loading condition:
A load definition is made up of a load class, a load name, an optional load case
number, a geometric part or reinforcement(s) to which the load is applied, and some real number data to
describe the load magnitude and possibly direction. This load data to the finite element mesh associated
with the geometric part in a variety of ways depending upon the load class. For example, force loads are
extrapolated to nodes, pressure to element faces or edges, gravity to element centroids.

Figure 6.2: Loading condition

Deflection in the beam:

Deflection, in structural engineering terms, refers to the movement of a beam
or node from its original position due to the forces and loads being applied to the member. It is also known
as displacement and can occur from externally applied loads or from the weight of the structure itself, and
the force of gravity in which this applies.
Deflection can occur in beams, trusses, frames, and basically any other structure. To define deflection, let’s
take a simple cantilevered beam deflection that has a person with weight (W) standing at the end.

Figure 6.3: Deflection in the beam

Cantilever beam:
Cantilever Beams are members that are supported from a single point only; typically,
with a Fixed Support. In order to ensure the structure is static, the support must be fixed; meaning it is able
to support forces and moments in all directions.
It is a rigid structural element supported at one end and free at the other, as shown in Fig 3.9. The
3
 DEPARTMENT OF MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING
UNIVERSITY OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, PESHAWAR
MtE-222L Mechanics of material LAB, 4th Semester

cantilever beam can be either made of concrete or steel whose one end is cast or anchored to a vertical
support. It is a horizontal beam structure whose free end is exposed to vertical loads.

Figure 6.4: Cantilever Beam

Fixed ended Beam Deflection:

Fixed-Fixed beams are special types of beams that are constrained by only two
supports, as seen in the above example. These members would naturally deflect more
as they are only supported at both ends.
To calculate the deflection of the fixed beams with point load in the center of it we can
use the below equation, where:

w= is the applied force at the endpoint,

L= is the length of the fixed beam,
E = is Young’s Modulus and,
I = is Moment of Inertia. I = (width * height³) / 12

All these were in theory part of this lab but if we want to find the deflection in the
fixed-fixed beam we are going to use the following methods to accomplish this skill.

Lab Task:

As a lab task first we are going to solve the following question for the theory and analytical
portion of this lab and after that we are going to solve this question using COMSOL
Multiphysics software to find the deflection.

Question:

A Fixed-fixed beam of length 100 cm, width 10 cm, thickness 3 cm is subjected to

uniformly distributed load of 1 KN at the middle of the span. calculate the maximum
deflection of the beam. The modulus of elasticity for the beam is E=206 GPa.

In Numerical Analysis portion for Maximum Deflection Vs Applied Load We have:

Load = 500N to 2400N with step size of 100N.

Now as Software Portion of this lab we are going to construct a Fixed-fixed beam
using the theory portion question. And we are going to use the following steps:

1. Starting the COMSOL Multiphysics application:

We will start the application by double clicking on the COMSOL Multiphysics

software icon on desktop.

2. Setting Up model environment:

By Opening the application, we will see two options of Model Wizard and Black
Model.
Black model is an empty model that we have to declare everything in it but Model
Wizard is ready models by the applications.
We select model Wizard and then we will choose the space dimensions.

Figure 6.9: Setting up environment in COMSOL Multiphysics to work with beam.

3. Selecting Physics:

In this part of work, we will select that what kind of physics we need to apply in our
simulation.

4. Selecting Study:

At this part we are selecting stationary analysis for displacement measurement.

Figure 6.11: Selecting Study in COMSOL Multiphysics for beam.

5. Creating geometry:

Creating the geometry for your model is one of the first steps of setting up a
simulation. In the COMSOL Multiphysics software, there are many geometry
operations, tools, and functionality that enable you to do this.

It has The Following Steps:

• Select shape
• Shape type (solid or surface)
• Select unit
• Select size (dimension)
For Block 1: Height = 100, Depth = 10, and Width = 3.

7. Initial and Boundary Conditions:

In this step we are going to select the fixed constraint, free constraint and then the
boundary load type which is applied on the device or material.

8. Creating Mesh:

Creating mesh means that we are going to divide the material part to the little parts that
that will help the part to be stronger or weaker. In this step we have two subparts which
are selecting sequence type and selecting element type.

9. Run Simulation:

At the second last part of this we are going to select the physics which we need for
simulation and then we choose and press the button Compute the Solution.

10. View Results:

At this part we are going to Select and view the result of the simulation and watch
that whether the material selected for the project is working or not and if the material is
not working for the project we can change it and then run the simulation again till the
time that we get positive results from the application.
