MSC/PATRAN TUTORIAL # 1 MODELING A BAR PROBLEM I. THE PHYSICAL PROBLEM In the simple bar problem below, there are three separate sections of the bar. Each section has different properties. The following properties apply, Al (Aluminum, St ( Steel, E for Steel = 200 E9 Pa, E for Al = 70 E9 Pa All Bars have square cross section and the right and left ends of the bar are built in. The force F = 9000 Newtons The 2-d model of the problem is shown below. II. THINKING ABOUT THE MECHANICS The analytic solution for stresses and displacements for this problem is readily available. Any Mechanics of Materials text will provide equations for the displacements and stresses throughout the bar. The problem is indeterminant because there are two reactions (one at each wall) and only one relevant equilibrium equation (). Therefore, it is necessary to use the Mechanics of materials (stress and or displacement) equations as well as the force equilibrium equations to solve the problem. The normal stress due to axial loading is given by : , where P is the internal force in the axial direction and A is the cross sectional area of the bar. The displacements are computed from here L is the bar’s length and E is the Elastic (Young’s) modulus. Some basic questions to consider before creating the computational model are: Where will the stresses be tensile and where will they be compressive? What will be the magnitude and direction of the reaction forces? Where will the displacements be greatest? How do the displacements vary along the length (linear, quadratic etc.)? What will the local effect of the concentrated load be on the stresses? Is the model fully constrained from rigid body rotations and displacements? Answering these questions qualitatively, along with the quantitative analytical solutions for the stresses and displacements, will provide reinforcement that your computational model is correctly constructed.
