STRUCTURAL FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS Name of Instructor Dr. Bettig Name of Student David Green Class MAE 456 Dep’t. or Section 01 WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Title STRESS/BUCKLING/… ANALYSIS OF … Date of Experiment January 27, 2015 No. of Experiment 1 Partner’s Name Date Received Summary Summarize the entire report in 4-5 sentences: What structure was analyzed? What loading conditions and what failure modes were considered? What results and conclusions came out of the analysis? It should look something like this: This report presents the structural analysis of …(what structure?) using finite element analysis. The analysis considered the … (yielding/fracture/excessive deflection/buckling/fatigue…) failure of the structure from a loading of … It was found that the structure has a factor of safety of … for this loading and failure mode. The structure is therefore satisfactory/unsatisfactory for … INTroduction Provide background and state the objectives for the assignment in 2-3 sentences. Mainly explain the design requirements and what kind of failures you needed to consider. It should look something like this: The objective of this assignment was to design a …(cantilever/bridge/bracket/…) structure to …(support/carry/hold/…) … (objects/loads from …) Figure 1 shows the …(spatial/load/attachment/…) ... (constraints/objectives/requirements) on the design. The structure must be able to …(support/carry/hold) …(what object/load?) without (yielding/fracturing/deflecting more than x/buckling/fatigue failure). Figure 1. Design Requirements for …[1] Structure Design Your Structure Design section must provide all of the design details necessary to do the analysis. It should look something like this: The design of the …(cantilever/bridge/bracket/…) … (structure/cross-section/…) is shown in Figure 2. The … is made of … The … is X mm thick. The … is …(welded/bolted/..) to the … The str
