Engineering Principals for FEA - 1 day
With FEA systems entering the mainstream, stress analysis is increasingly aimed at the designer or draftsman, increasing the danger of performing analysis without sufficient understanding of the underlying theory. Optimised Engineering has developed a one day course specifically designed as an introduction or refresher to the basic concepts of static systems and stress analysis.
Topics covered
Understanding forces, reactions, equilibrium and free body diagrams
Components of stress (3 normal, 6 shear), strain, poisson's ratio, stress and strain relationship, modulus of elasticity, stress concentration
Beams - basic bending theory, shear and moment diagrams, second moment of area, beam stress
Shafts - the torsion equation, thick and thin cylinders
Pressure Vessels
Complex stress - Mohr's circle, principal stresses, maximum shear stress
Material failure theory - ductile/brittle (Von Mises yield criterion), fatigue
Geometric failure - buckling
Design of mechanical components - keys, pins, shafts
The use of standard texts (e.g. Roarks formulas for Stress and Strain etc.)
