CABLE BENDING ANALYSIS THOUGH FEA

Submitted by Alain Cardou on
industry

Single strand cable (spiral) bending and OEC (Overhead Electrical Conductor) bending are somewhat similar problems. This is the reason why the following new paper is noteworthy within the context of this blog. It emanates from a Slovak team: S. Kmet, E. Stanova, G. Fedorko, M. Fabian, J. Brodniansky. Title : “Experimental investigation and finite element analysis of a four-layered spiral strand bent over a curved support”. Published in “Engineering Structures”, Vol. 57, December 2013, pp. 475-483.

load effect in ansys

Submitted by engmohsen on
software

hi everyone;

we know that axial load effect on dynamic responses of structur ( for example comparsion axial load decreas frequencies) and Modal analysis does not depend on load too.

i want to obtain dynamic responses for simply supported beam under axial load. How do modal analysis in the presence of axial load in ansys (How apply effect of axial load)???

plz help me

A numerical study of elastic bodies that are described by constitutive equations that exhibit limited strains

Submitted by Alejandro Orti… on

small strain
Implicit elasticity
Nonlinear finite elements
Unbounded stress

Recently, a very general and novel class of implicit bodies has been developed to describe the elastic response of solids. It contains as a special subclass the classical Cauchy and Green elastic bodies. Within the class of such bodies, one can obtain through a rigorous approximation, constitutive relations for the linearized strain as a nonlinear function of the stress. Such an approximation is not possible within classical theories of Cauchy and Green elasticity, where the process of linearization will only lead to the classical linearized elastic body.

Numerical solution of fractional equation by using radial basis functions

Abstract

In this paper, we implement the radial basis functions for solving a classical type of time-fractional telegraph equation defined by Caputo sense for (1<α≤2). The presented method which is coupled of the radial basis functions and finite difference scheme achieves the semi-discrete solution. We investigate the stability, convergence and theoretical analysis of the scheme which verify the validity of the proposed method. Numerical results show the simplicity and accuracy of the presented method.
