18. Methodology & Strategy of Analysis: Solid Modeling FEA Modeling + Quality Checks Applying Material Properties, Boundary Conditions & Analysis

19. FEA Modeling: Mesh details: 1.Hypermesh 8.0 platform is used for meshing. 2.FE model generated on mid surface of component. 3.Mixed elements (Quad & Tria) are used for meshing. 4.2D Shell elements are used (2D shells can be drawn as a line, 3D as an area.) 5.Average 4.0 mm & min 2.0 mm element size is considered. 6.Washer is created near holes. 7.Dense meshing near hole areas.

20. Quality Checks: Quality is checked on different parameters : warpage, aspect ratio, length; jacobian

21. 1 < Aspect Ratio This is the ratio of max element edge length to minimum edge length. Ideal value = 1 (Acceptable is less than 5) Jacobean Check > Ideal Value = 1.0 (Acceptable more then 0.6) Jacobian is a scale factor arising because of transformation of co-ordinate system.

22. 1 warpage Check Warp angle is out of plane angle. Ideal value = 0 0 (Acceptable is less than 10 0 ) Element length Average = 4.0mm Maximum= 6.00 mm Minimum = 2.00 mm

23. FREE EDGES CHECKING Any quad element having 4 free edges

24. Boundary Condition Details: Essential and Natural B.C. Boundary conditions (BCs) come in two basic flavors: essential and natural. Essential BCs directly affect DOFs. Natural BCs do not directly affect. 1. If a boundary condition involves one or more degrees of freedom in a direct way, it is essential. An example is a prescribed node displacement. 2.Otherwise it is natural.

25. Boundary Conditions in Structural Problems: Essential boundary conditions in mechanical problems involve displacements (but not strain-type displacement derivatives). Support Conditions Supports are used to restrain structures against relative rigid body motions. The resulting boundary conditions are often called motion constraints.

26. Essential B.C. Natural B.C.

27. Linear Analysis: 1.Analysis is performed in optistruct 8.0, package of hyper-works. 2.Analysis has been carried out for different amount of loads such as 1 N, 2 N, 3 N, 4 N, 5 N & 10 N 3.Displacement of the component and von-mises stress is found out for different amount of loads

28. 1 1 N of Load: Displacement Von Misces stress

29. 2N of Load Displacement Von Misces stress

30. 3 N of Load: Displacement Von Misces stress

31. 4 N of load: Displacement Von Misces stress

32. 5 N of Load: Displacement Von Misces stress

33. 10 N of Load: Displacement Von Misces stress

34. 1 Thermal Analysis: 1.Thermal analysis is performed in optistruct 8.0. 2.Stability of the component for different amount of temperature is found out. Temperature Loading

35. 100 ºC Temperature: Displacement Von Misces stress

36. 125 ºC Temperature: Displacement Von Misces stress

37. 135 ºC Temperature: Displacement Von Misces stress

38. 150 ºC Temperature: Displacement Von Misces stress

39. 175 ºC Temperature: Displacement Von Misces stress

40. Result & Discussion: Linear Static Analysis: 1.Up to 3n-4Nn of load Component is showing Stresses below than than the tensile strength at break of the used material. Thermal Analysis: 1.Used Material is having good thermal stability which it shows up to the 150 ºC Temperature 2.Displacement is Acceptable up to the range of 3-4mm. 3. Above the temperature of 150 ºC, Displacement is also increasing. Which is above the target displacement.

41. Conclusion Composite Materials are the highly preferred material now a days. Approach for weight reduction & High strength to weight ratio of material is considered. If referred steps can be molded with no fault then desire goal can be achieve. Further different more analysis like non-linear, impact can be performed for more accurate results.
