QUESTION 1:
Determine the “Gate Open Strength” of climbing carabiner using simplified linear static analysis?
a) Manual Calculation
b) Linear Elastic Finite Element Method
SUGGESTION:
1) Manual calculation (a) axial strength (b) axial strength inclusive of bending moment.
2) Repeat the calculation using Linear Elastic Finite Element Method.
3) FE Model can be simplified using two-fold symmetry.
4) Compare your answer from manual calculation and FE Model in terms of stress and
displacement.
