17MEL68 Modeling and Analysis Lab(FEA) syllabus for ME

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

PART – A

1. 1. Bars of constant cross section area, tapered cross section area and stepped bar

2. Trusses – (Minimum 2 exercises of different types)

3. Beams – Simply supported, cantilever, beams with point load, UDL, beams with varying load etc(Minimum 6 exercises different nature)

4. Stress analysis of a rectangular plate with a circular hole

PART – B

1) Thermal Analysis – 1D & 2D problem with conduction and convection boundary conditions (Minimum 4 exercises of different types)

2) Dynamic Analysis to find

a) Fixed – fixed beam for natural frequency determination

b) Bar subjected to forcing function

c) Fixed – fixed beam subjected to forcing function

PART – C

1) Demonstrate the use of graphics standards (IGES, STEP etc) to import the model from modeler to solver

2) Demonstrate one example of contact analysis to learn the procedure to carry out contact analysis.

3) Demonstrate at least two different type of example to model and analyze bars or plates made from composite material

Course outcomes:

Demonstrate the basic features of an analysis package.
Use the modern tools to formulate the problem, and able to create geometry, descritize, apply boundary condition to solve problems of bars, truss, beams, plate to find stress with differentloading conditions.
Demonstrate the deflection of beams subjected to point, uniformly distributed and varying loads further to use the available results to draw shear force and bending moment diagrams.
Analyze the given problem by applying basic principle to solve and demonstrate 1D and 2D heat transfer with conduction and convection boundary conditions.
Carry out dynamic analysis and finding natural frequencies for various boundary conditions and also analyze with forcing function.
