EXPERIMENT-07

AIM – To perform the parametric study on the simple bar and study the behaviour of
directional deformation with the parameters like Force, Length and Width.
SOFTWARE USED – ANSYS WORKBENCH
PROPERTIES OF MATERIAL – density =7850kg/m3,Young’s modulus = 200GPa,
poison’s ratio=0.3, tensile strength=460 MPa, cohesion=500 MPa, frictional angle = 270
PROCEDURE –
1. Select static structure analysis setting for model simulation.
2. Go to the Engineering Data, then incorporate material characteristics by opting for
structural steel with identical properties as specified.

Figure 1 : Properties of the material.

3. Open the design modeller to draw the geometry of simple bar of dimension (0.1m x
0.1m x 1m), by first constructting the 2D square of dimension (0.1 m x 0.1 m) and
extruding the same by 1 m length, tick the check box of each dimesnional parameter.

Figure 2 : Defining the geometry.

4. Now, open the model application to perform the meshing by giving the element size
as 0.01m of tetrahedra shape of each element.

5. Now, Fix one of ends of simple bar and aplly the force of 10 tonne (98100 N) at
opposite end in the radially outward direction, also tick the check box of force
magnitude.

6. In solution part add the total deformation and directional deformation two time to
view the change in dimension in length and width both.

7. Solve the model and check all deformations and tick the check box of maximum
values of directional deformations and give the appropriate name to each.

Figure 7 : Length wise deformation.

8. Now change the values of parameters and note the obtained results.

 CONCLUSION –

dW/dL vs Length
it is noted that the deformation along the length

(dL) exhibits a direct proportionality to both the
0.03
length of the bar and the applied force, while 0.025
f(x) = − 0.0151779953379649 x + 0.0350830919420814
