1 COMSOL Analysis: End Loaded Cantilever Beams of Various Cross Sections Gregory Hew

2 Description of System End loaded steel cantilever beam Analyzed at 4 different cross sections –Circular –Triangular –Square –I-Beam

3 COMSOL Model Used 3-D Structural Mechanics Steady State Boundary Conditions –Edge load –Fixed displacement Steel Beam Meshing –Physics Controlled

4 Results Circular SquareTriangular I-Beam

5 Verification of Results Analytical solution exists Based off stress/strain theory. Utilized to determine the integrity of solution Error percentage ranged from 0.58% to 1.68% Magnitude of Displacement Mesh SizeSquareCircularTriangularI-Beam Courser1.96623.40715.88802.1496 Normal2.01363.41255.95862.1567 Finer2.02663.41386.01572.1615 Extremely Fine2.03363.41596.03482.1644 Analytical2.0003.3956.0002.133
