CME 434 - Finite Element Analysis Project Title: Analysis of Chain Link By: Anuj Salke (UIN 660484908) Sujay Khamitkar (UIN 662253535) Problem Statement: To study the stresses that occurs in a chain link when it is subjected to loads and to verify the results analytically. The aim of the project is to calculate the stresses induced in a chain link analytically and verify if these results are same with the results obtained from ANSYS. We found that they are not exactly same but somewhat similar. Background information: Chain link has been estimated to be in use since 220 BC1. A chain is made of multiple elements as shown in the figure. Fig. A. (Chain Link) …show more content…

Various materials used for manufacturing a chain link are steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, alloys etc. The chain link which we have considered is used for hoisting purposes, this is because the oval shape is ideal for crane hook as the depth of the crane hook is greater than the width. We will study stresses induced in the link. It is necessary to study the stress distribution, deformation and deflection so as to avoid design failure and loss. The necessary information required for the project like material properties, type of load to be applied, intensity of load is taken from the textbook ‘Strength of Materials ’ by Dr. R. K. Bansal. We will simulate our chain link by applying load in ANSYS and study the stress distribution (on circular portion as well as straight portion of the chain link). Assumptions: While finding out the value of stress analytically, we have made certain assumptions. We have assumed that the stress in certain regions is constant which will not be the case in the actual system. We have made sections like the inner part of the circular region, outer pat of circular region, inner and outer part of straight region. We consider the stresses in these parts to be constant for simplification …show more content…

We have neglected the effects due to friction and the stresses induced due to heating effects. regions where stresses are considered constant The chain link we have modelled is as shown in the figure. Modelling of the chain link has been done in Solidworks. We then imported this chain link in ANSYS Workbench. As the chain link is symmetric in many ways, we used only a part of the chain link for our analysis. The cut portion of the chain link is as shown in the figure. We have fixed the end of the straight (fixed support) portion and applied the load to the inner region of the circular portion as shown in the

The coordinates of the system is defined by , θ = angle of the chassis from vertical, α = angle of tread assemblies from vertical, Ø = rotation angle of tread sprockets from vertical, mc = mass of chassis, mT = mass of tread, ms = mass of sprocket, Lc = length from centre of sprocket to centre of chassis, LT = length from centre of sprocket to centre of tread assembly. The kinetic energies of the sprocket, chassis and tread assemblies are given respectively , T_S=1/2[m_c x ̇^2+J_S φ ̇^2] (1) T_C=1/2 [〖m_c (x ̇-L_c θ ̇ cos⁡θ⁡)〗^2+m_c (〖L_c θ ̇ sin⁡〖θ)〗〗^2+J_c θ ̇^2 ] (2) T_T=1/2[m_T (〖x ̇-L_T α ̇ cos⁡〖α)〗〗^2+m_T (〖L_T α ̇ sin⁡〖α)〗〗^2+J_T α ̇^2] (3) The gravitational potential energy is given by ,

As the arm rotates, the things in the thing experience centripetal acceleration which causes it to move out. The initial release position is such that the beam on the counterweight side makes an angle of 45° with the vertical. There is a lot of math required in finding the trajectory of the arms through. The trebuchet reached Europe during the early Middle Ages, or Dark Ages, in 500 AD and was used extensively by the French.

The Engineering of a Trebuchet To understand all the works and Physics behind a trebuchet, you must first understand all the individual parts of the trebuchet. Corresponding with most machines, the trebuchet is made up of different parts each having their own unique function. The five parts of the trebuchet are; the frame, the arm (or beam), the counterweight, the sling, and the guide chute (“How the Trebuchet Catapult Works”). Additionally, corresponding with most machines each part of the trebuchet can manipulated to create a different output.

Tackling NFL Issues Mary Louise Pratt speech “ Art of the Contact zone”, discusses the depth of the contact zone and what it is. In Pratt’s understanding, a contact zone is term that refers to social spaces where cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power, such as colonialism, slavery, or their aftermaths as they are lived out in many parts of the world today.

Students have to measure the distance between centers of the pole to the center of radial at the range of one. Use the length and diameter measurement to find out the radius of the rotation (R). After measuring the mass of the hanging mass, reattach the hanging mass to the string and attach the spring from the top of the cross arm. Before attaching the spring to the hanging mass, have to adjust the hanging mass to the pointed tip of the cross arm, it has to be exactly over the radial indicator.

Native Americans started using the bow and arrow in 500AD. Native Americans started using them, for hunting to be effortless and quick. One of the main reasons they decided to use bow and arrow was because they saw that that was a way more efficient than the spear. Not only, but bow and arrows actually used less material than spears. With time, Native Americans started boosting the device, just like: poisoned arrows, small bows, etc.

Stress refers to a dynamic interaction between the individual and the environment. In this interaction, demands, limitations and opportunities related to work may be perceived as threatening to surpass the individual's resources and skills. Stress is any physical or psychological stimulus that disturbs the adaptive state and provoked a coping response The increasing interest in stress research is probably because we live in a world that includes many stressful circumstances and stress has been a global phenomenon. It has become an integral part of life and is said to be the price we all pay for the struggle to stay alive.
