Static structural analysis
Static structural analysis determines displacement, stresses, strains and forces on
structures or components caused by loads that do not include significant inertia and
damping effects. Steady loading and response conditions are assumed that is, loads and
structural response are assumed to vary slowly with respect to time.

Types of loading that can be applied in static structural analysis.

1. Externally applied loads and pressures
2. Steady state inertia forces( gravity or rotational velocity)
3. Imposed (non-zero displacements)
4. Temperatures( thermal strains )

Static structural can be either linear and non-linear.

Non-linearity can be –
1. geometric non-linearity
2. Material non-linearity
3. Contact non-linearity

o BEAM refers to a member in structure which resists
bending when load is applied in transverse direction.
o A beam is a two node one dimensional element.
beam elements there are two degrees of freedom
(DOFs) at a node in its local coordinate system.
o They are deflection in the y direction, v, and rotation
in the x-y plane, θζ with respect to the z-axis.
Therefore, each beam element has a total of four
DOF.

Brief
When you do modal analysis, you are asking your part: « Hey,
what are the dangerous natural frequencies that make you
resonate? »

When you do frequency response, you are not « asking », you

are actually testing: « Let’s input a load which will vibrate in a
certain defined range of frequencies and let’s see how you
actually deform!

The steady-state in a thermal event occurs when the temperature

distribution and all thermal flows stabilize and remain constant
through time.

Steady-state conditions are often of interest to derive a

temperature distribution over component, which is then used in
a subsequent structural analysis.

mechanical loads acts .

brief

Linear-buckling analysis calculates buckling load magnitudes that cause buckling

and associated buckling modes.

FEA programs provide calculations of a large number of buckling modes and the
associated buckling-load factors (BLF).

The BLF is expressed by a number which the applied load must be multiplied by
(or divided — depending on the particular FEA package) to obtain the buckling-
load magnitude.
