Syllabus

Continuum Modeling using ANSYS package.
Experiment-1: To model and analyze stresses in cantilever beam.
Experiment 2 – To model and analyze buckling of pipe under load.
Experiment 3 – To model plate with hole and analyze stresses, strains under loads
Experiment 4 – To model three point bending test and analyze stresses
Experiment 5 – To model a double L structure without out hole and analyze stresses.
Experiment 6 – To model and analyze stresses in a bracket

To learn the ANSYS software: structural analysis

To create a continumm model of a part of a component: nodes, grids etc.

To analyse stress and strain distributions: von Mises stress and strain.

1. Understand the continuum modeling software.
2. Create models of components used in structural applications.
3. Analyze the stress and strain distributions.
4. Identify the bottlenecks in the design.
