6ACM0003 Mechanics and Properties of Materials-failure in the structure and sugg

Q1. Generate the initial model, showing:
1a. The type of elements used (1D, 2D or 3D?). Choose the MOST adequate element for this part and discuss your choice;(3 marks)
1b. The constraints and exactly where they are applied; (3 marks)
1c. The loads and exactly where they are applied. (4 marks)

Q2. Validate your model by checking convergence/mesh independence with an appropriate number of simulations. Using Excel, you should present and discuss the following:
2a. A plot of the maximum displacement vs number of elements (or mesh size); (8 marks)
2b. A plot of the maximum Stress vs number of elements (or mesh size

Q3. 3a Determine the pressure loading using equation 1 and the data given. (4 marks)
3b Estimate the in-plane stiffness of the wing using ANSYS finite element software and compare with some analytical calculation.
3c Set up an ANSYS finite element model and apply the pressure loading calculated in question 1a on the top surface of your finite element model. (10 marks)
3d Generate two plots: displacement and stress distribution (eg. stress intensity).
3e Discuss your results which must include identification of likely areas of failure in the structure and suggest appropriate remedies or prevention of failure
