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.
