ME 4093/6093: Introduction to Finite Elements

Lab 4: Axisymmetric Analysis of a Stress Concentration Factor
The goal of this analysis is to determine the stress concentration factor of a round rod with a fillet. The following table found in Shigley and Mishke's Mechanical Engineering Design book provides the motivation for this exercise.

The objectives of this lab are as follows: Perform an axisymmetric analysis Manually control the mesh Converge stresses by refining the mesh Understand the concept of a stress singularity Demonstration Goal: Perform a stress analysis on a round shaft in tension with a specified radius. Note: This is a linear elastic analysis, therefore the stress results scale according to the load and geometry. Therefore, we'll choose unit loads and geometry to demonstrate the technique. Analysis Procedure 1. Open Abaqus and Create a filleted shaft in the Axisymmetric Modeling Space. Use an approximate size for the sketch to be around 5.

2. Sketch the following geometry. The y-axis is the axis of rotation for an axisymmetric analysis.

6. Create a step in which to run the analysis. Use a Static, General step 7. In the Load Module, create a displacement boundary condition along the bottom edge and a pressure load pulling the geometry with a magnitude of 1. You can use the Assemby Display Options under the View menu to make the symbols larger.

8. Enter the Mesh Controls dialog and change to a structured mesh.

9. Partition the geometry to give an edge to refining the mesh. 10. Seed each section of the curve with 8. Seed the edges leading with to the curve with a bias ratio of 10. There are 16 seeds on the vertical and diagonal edges.

23. Create another job with a different name and submit the job. 24. Stop recording the macro and open the AbaqusMacros.py in an editor like Notepad++. The file may look something like this: AbaqusMacros.py 25. The Macro file can be manipulated using Python to produce a script tha automate the mesh and geometry generation.

Assignment
Determine the stress concentration factors for the D/d = 1.50 row in the Stress Concentration factor table for the Mises stress. Create a new table of stress concentration factors for the axial loading of a tube (i.e. include an inside diameter). Use D/d = 1.5 and r/d = 0.1. Use the following design points: Id/d={0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.95}. Use a 1% convergence criteria. Turn in your tables and a screen shot of the finest mesh.
