Nonlinear behaviour of RC beams is complex due to involvement of various parameters. Many attempts have been made by the past researchers to predict the behaviour using ANSYS. The accuracy and convergence of the solution depends on factors such as mesh density, constitutive properties of concrete, convergence criteria and tolerance values etc., Past researchers have used various values of the a...

The present study concerns experimental and fin ite element analysis of carbon epoxy and carbon epoxy carbon nanotube composites to estimate interlaminar shear strength. Mechanical properties such as elastic ratios, thickness are varied for double notched specimen and the corresponding deflections and interlaminar shear strengths are estimated by ANSYS. From simple ru le of mixtures, equivalent...

Magnetic levitation is a popular topic of research over the years throughout the world due to its wide range of industrial applications. In any DC attraction type suspension system, actuator and guide-way (rail) plays most important role. In this manuscript FEM based analysis of different structures of actuator and rail (guide-way) has been carried out utilizing ANSYS software. Input power to l...

The purpose of this study is to develop a numerical approach to simulate the creep cracking of a Ni-base superalloy. The approach is based in continuum damage mechanics (CDM) and uses the classic Kachanov-Rabotnov constitutive equations for creep deformation and damage evolution. Creep damage takes the form of defects such as microcracks, cavities, voids, etc. A numerical crack growth algorithm...

Carbon fibers were pretreated by ultrasonic agitation and then were used to manufacture carbon fiber-reinforced wood composites (CFRWCs). The modulus of rupture (MOR) and the modulus of elasticity (MOE) for the CFRWCs were measured. The effects of the compounding pattern and proportion of carbon fiber on the dynamic performance were investigated by dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA) and fi...

The component piston in an internal combustion engine plays an important role in transforming the thermal energy developed during the combustion in to mechanical energy. During this process, the piston is subject to heat, and pressures developed in the combustion as well as variations in pressures during various strokes of the engine. Hence, there is a need to study the behavior of the piston t...

he present paper deals with the study of static and dynamic analysis of transmission line tower (X type of bracing system). A typical type of transmission line tower carrying 220KV single circuit conductor is chosen as case study existing in bijapur district. The analysis and modeling of tower is carried out using FE based ANSYS software. The model is created in CATIA and then imported to ANSYS...

Misalignment and unbalance is the most cause of machine vibration. An unbalanced rotor always cause more vibration and generates excessive force in the bearing area and reduces the life of the machine. Understanding and practicing the fundamentals of rotating shaft parameters is the first step in reducing unnecessary vibration, reducing maintenance costs and increasing machine uptime. In this p...
