Week-3

Hey all!

This week's work involves modelling different cross sections of beams and doing simulation under loading conditions.

Models were designed in SOLIDWORKS and analysis was performed in ANSYS.



ANSYS Workbench :
The deformation of all the cases varied as shown in the figure below:








 These deformation values are cross verified by Analytical calculations as shown below:


That's all for this week:)

                                                  Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog :) I am a design summer intern at Spartan Super way. I have a really interesting task of learning the properties of beams when subjected to bending. As it is my first week at Super way, I am starting off with recalling basics in mechanics of solids and theory of beams. I have also looked into advantages of concrete filled tubes over steel and concrete tubes when under compression and bending.                                                                                     Solomon’s knot design is preferred over other designs to avoid slipping between concrete and steel. This also helps in reducing the probability of  fracture in sheet metal when subjected to bending.      We want to perform both simulation and FEA analysis on the Solomon's knot composite beam to compare the deflection results. Next steps involve running simulation on basic models. End step would be to

Hello visiter! This weeks works involves optimizing parameters that affect the stiffness of the beam. Parameters affecting stiffness of beams: Slenderness ratio Short column/long column Concrete grade   Different types of loading: Torsion Compression Tension Lower the slenderness ratio, higher the buckling load.   Concrete filled tube is less advantageous in short columns.   As the concrete grade increases, the deformation decreases.   Concrete filled tubes have high resistance to torsional loads.   Concrete filled tubes have low deformation in axial compression, but low resistance to fracture in tension.      Currently working on applying torsion and axial loading at same time.   Thanks for visiting!

Hello! Welcome back! The week-2 was more about going through published papers, working on modeling concrete beams and to get started with literature review. published papers: 1.http://www.nssmc.com/en/tech/report/nsc/pdf/7708.pdf - use of diaphragm in tube with help of welding. 2.http://www.svf.stuba.sk/docs/sjce/2011/2011_1/file1.pdf - analysis of slender reinforced concrete columns. 3.https://www.tcd.ie/civileng/local/notes/Dermot.ODwyer/4A6/Biaxial%20Bending.pdf - biaxial bending of columns.
