Non-Uniform Stress Distribution along curved surface
Posted: 30 Dec 2014, 02:34
Hello,
I am trying to simulate a pin bearing stress along the interior surface of a hole. Half of the hole will have the stress applied to it and the stress distribution is sinusoidal in nature (magnitude of stress is 0 at theta=0 and theta=180 degrees.This hole also has depth(cylinder) since this is a 3D step file I am working with.
I would like the stress to remain constant along the z axis as well.
Please see attached image of bearing stress distribution for reference.http://blog.3dvision.com/wp-content/upl ... bution.png
I am using ElmerGUI but have found that there is no option to apply bearing stress(only normal stress and F-x/F-y/F-z.) as a boundary condition. I am trying to formulate a user defined function using MATC. I would like to construct the force components as functions of the angle. The domain of the angle would be from 0 degrees to 180 degrees. I am having difficulty generating a function for the angle that is required for the force function(f=F*sin(theta)).
Any help setting up a user defined function and/or help with creating a bearing stress distribution would be greatly appreciated.
This link may also help with how the force distribution should be applied http://help.solidworks.com/2011/english ... bution.htm
