Comparison of Hand Calculation with SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Hand Calculation: The figure 1 which shown below is a plate with hole in the middle fixed at one end and in other side load is applied. Figure 1 Parameters Plate Module Length(L) 60 mm Width(w) 40 mm Thickness(T) 1mm Plate area(A p ) 40 mm 2 Hole area(A o ) 78.5 mm 2 Elastic Modulus(E) 2e+5 N/mm2 (AISI 1020) Force (F) 200 N Nominal stress: σ nom = F/(w-d)t= 2000/(40-10) = 66.666 N/mm 2 Stress concentration: K t = σ max / σ nom σ max = 2.5 * 66.666 = 159.99 N/mm 2 SOLIDWORKS Simulation Simulation Procedure ü Cad Geometry ü Type of Analysis ü Type of Materials ü Fixtures ü Loads ü Meshing ü Results Cad Geometry ...
