Determine the limiting component and the torsional load rating of the tool. The limiting component is the component with the connection, body or other feature having the least torsional capacity. The torsional load rating of the tool is the lowest torsional load capacity on the limiting component. Table 3.6 summarizes the basic tensile and torsional load capacities of all load-path components in EXAMPLETOOL. The table also identities the miting component in both tension and torsion, and gives the basic tension and torsion load ratings ofthe tool 3.23 Advanced tensile load rating method by finite element analysis. Per‘orm this method using the fo lowing steps 3.23.1 Step 1. Performa basic tension load rating. This was completed 3.23.2 Step 2. Identify components on which FEA Is required. Mutiply the basic tensile load capacity of the limiting component by 1.67. Compare the resulting product with the calculated cross-sectional basic tensile load capacities of all other load-path components. FEA is required for all components, having a cross-sectional basic tensile load capacity less than 1.67 times the capacity of the limiting ‘component. The limiting component in tension is the mandrel, with a capacity of 1,089,785 Ibs. 1.67 + 1,089,785 lbs = 1,819,941 Ibs Two EXAMPLETOOL components have cross: sectional basic tensile capacities less than 1,819,941 Ibs and require FEA: Mandrel (1,089,785 Ibs) Housing (1,357,974 lbs) Note: EXAMPLETOOL's designer concluded that the Top Cap component need not be analyzed by FEA due to the regular geometry ofits critical section (a cylinder) and the fact that the component is loaded in compres- sion in a confined area. A catastrophic failure in this region is very unlikely. Furthermore, FEA is unlikely to significantly change the load capacity. 3.23.3 Step 3. Perform finite element analysis. Beginning with the mandrel, the designer applied ‘minimum dimensions that would result in lowest capacity and SMYS to the model, then ran the model with the results shown in igure 3.5. The load required to obtain frst point-yield was 536,496 Ibs. 33 Figure 3.5 The frst mandrel iteration in tension and point of first yield. First point-yield occurred ata load of 536,496 pounds.

Load at frst point-yield was 788,650 lbs. 34 __THHill Associates, Inc. ‘The designer repeated the model using a mesh size one-half the original size, in and near the most highly stressed areas. The results of the second trial are shown in figure 3.6, The load required to obtain first point-yield was 495,425 lbs. The designer compared first point-yield load in the second FEA iteration with the first yield point load from the first. [1 - (495,425/536,496)] + 100 = 7.6% ‘The 7.6% difference in first point-yield load between the first and second iterations is less than the maximum allowed (10%). Therefore, no further FEA. modeling is required and the lower of the two load values will be used to rate the component. Load at first point-yield for the second FEA model was 495,425 Ibs, ‘The tensile load capacity of the mandrel is 1.5 times 495,425 Ibs or 743, 137 Ibs. ‘The housing also requires an advanced load rating ‘This was accomplished with the results shown in figure 3.7. Load at first point-yield was 788,650 Ibs. ‘The FEA model was repeated using a mesh size one-half the size of the first iteration, Load at first point-yield in the second iteration was 657,535 Ibs.

In the third iteration, load at first point yield was 595,019 Ibs. Comparing the loads obtained in the second and third iterations: [1- (595,019/657,535)] «100 = 9.5% ‘The 9.5% variation is less than the 10% allowable maximum. No further FEA modeling is required and the load value obtained from the third FEA model is, used to rate the tool ‘The advanced load rating for the housing is 1.5 times, 595,019 Ibs or 892,528 Ibs. 3.23.4 Step 4.
