1 FEA Applications I MET 415 Review Course Structure: 15 week course Weekly Schedule 50 minute lecture 2.5 hour laboratory 50 minute lecture Goal: Obtain feedback from Industry Users on course presentation and content The Mechanical Engineering Technology Students are required to take FEA Applications II (MET 425) 9/6/17, David Johnson P.E. (Thank you) & PAJ 1

2 Lectures Focused on Applications User Manual Construction Required Matrix manipulations are only discussed (no exercises) Weekly quizzes (MC and T/F) 3 Exams (MC, T/F, Practical's) Labs FEA Applications I Review Focused on Applications Worksheet Provided Turn In 1. Table of results comparisons (include the model size, i.e., the number of nodes and elements used in each case). At least three FEA analyses are required; more than three may be needed. Results to list: element type, maximum deflection, Fx, maximum SX stress, mesh error SEPC 2. Hand calculation of stress concentration (Include your reference for the formula, etc.) Make a statement comparing the FEA results to the hand calc. Calculate % difference. 3. Hand calculation of the total elongation of the plate in the direction of loading. Make a statement comparing the FEA results to the hand calc. Calculate % difference. 4. An annotated, color (or gray shades) plot of x-direction stress results, SX, from any ONE of your solutions. 5. An annotated, color (or gray shades) plot of vonmises stress results, SEQV, from any ONE of your solutions. Write a note comparing the maximum normal stress (SX) to the maximum vonmises stress (SEQV) - what makes the max. equivalent stress so similar to the max. normal stress, SX for this problem? Why might they be different (in other problems)? 6. [HINT: How is Mohr's circle used in computing vonmises or equiv. stress?] 9/6/17, David Johnson P.E. (Thank you) & PAJ 2
