29 Jun 534: Superstructure Mould Static stress analysis to simulate the rotation of a superstructure mould and its supporting steelwork during manufacturing. Detailed recommendations were given to achieve maximum stiffness at minimum weight. Posted at 10:39h in Read More
29 Jun 536: Deck Mould Linear static stress and buckling analysis of a deck mould assembly. 2 Designs were analysed for the deck mould. 2 stress load cases were analysed with the mould in either horizontal or vertical positions, and 1 stress load case with the weight of the mould acting on the castors. All stresses were below the yield strength of the materials used, and the first buckling load multiplier was sufficiently high. Posted at 10:38h in Read More
29 Jun 537: Deck Mould Linear static stress and buckling analysis of a deck mould assembly. 2 Designs were analysed for the deck mould. 2 stress load cases were analysed with the mould in either horizontal or vertical positions, and 1 stress load case with the weight of the mould acting on the castors. All stresses were below the yield strength of the materials used, and the first buckling load multiplier was sufficiently high. Posted at 10:38h in Read More
29 Jun 538: Deck Mould Assembly Linear static stress and buckling analysis of a deck mould assembly. The various stress load cases were performed with the deck mould being rotated at different angles, with the buckling analysis conducted when the deck mould was in its vertical position. Stresses and buckling load multiplier were reported. Posted at 10:37h in Read More
29 Jun 539: Boat Cradle Linear static stress analysis and linear buckling analysis of a boat cradle design. Beam and plate elements were used for the analysis. Upon completion, the design’s viability was confirmed as both the minimum factor of safety and lowest buckling load multiplier were acceptable. Posted at 10:37h in Read More
29 Jun 542: Strongback Frame Linear static stress analysis of a steel framework, with two load cases being analysed, one with the framework being vertical, the other horizontal. Beam and plate elements were used in the model. Stresses and bolt forces were reported and compared with their allowables. Posted at 10:36h in Read More
29 Jun 547: Buried Tank Linear static stress and linear buckling analysis of a buried tank, using a quarter model. Multiple buckling analyses were performed with different loading conditions. For each of these analyses the minimum buckling load multiplier was reported to ensure the model would not buckle at loads below the intended operation loads. Posted at 10:36h in Read More
29 Jun 552: Stairlift Component Static stress analysis of a plastic moulding used for a stairlift. Locally high stresses have been reduced after incorporation of recommendations stated in the reports, thus saving major expenditure on tooling modification. Posted at 10:35h in Read More
29 Jun 555: Ring Shredder Linear static stress and buckling analysis of a Ring Shredder assembly. In total 4 sub assemblies of the design were analysed. All of these sub assemblies had low stresses from the loads applied, and the minimum buckling load multiplier was very high. This proved the designs viability. Posted at 10:34h in Read More
29 Jun 599: Baler Press Static stress analysis of a Baler Press subjected to dead weight and internal pressure resulting from compression force. The results highlighted strength issues for a particular load case. Posted at 10:33h in Read More
