Problem Statement:
This is a problem taken from Beer and Johnson book: Given: A Steel Shaft as shown in figure below, The dimensions of the 2 disks and the length of the shaft are labelled in the respective figure. G = Modulus of Rigidity = 11.2e5/mm2, T1 = -4kN-mm, T2 = 10kN-mm
1 1.25inch 2
1.5inch
Figure 1: Shaft with Two DISKS
To Determine: 1. Rotation of the 2 disks due to application of Torque applied as shown above. 2. The Sheer Stresses (Maximum and Minimum) produced in the Shaft.
Specify Element Type Main Menu > Preprocessor> Element Type > Add/Edit/Delete > Add... Pick Structural Mass Solid in the left field and 8node 45 in the right field. Click Apply to select this element.
Enter 2.1E5 for Young's modulus EX , And 0.303 for Poisson's Ratio PRXY . Click OK . To double-check the material Model property values, double-click on Linear Model
Isotropic under Material Isotropic Propert ies window. Save your work Toolbar > SAVE_DB
Number 1 in
the Define
Material
Behavior menu. This will show you the current values for EX and PRXY . Cancel the Linear
Main Menu > Preprocessor > Modeling > Move > Areas Enter the values in the sequence as below 0,0,100 And press OK Main Menu > Preprocessor > Modeling >Operate > Extrude> Areas >Aong Normal Enter 12.5 in FY Now we glue all the volumes to make it as a simple object. Main Menu > Preprocessor > Modeling > Operate > Booleans > Glue > Volumes Click Pick All to glue our two volumes together. Note that there are no visual indicators of whether or not the volumes have been glued. You should check the Command Window and look for the "GLUE VOLUMES" command. On your ANSYS workspace the Figure should appear like this:
Under Size Controls, click the Set button next to Global . Enter an element
edge
length of 0.12 and click OK . The specified smart size of 4 and edge length of 0.12 are the result of an iterative process. The goal is to obtain a solution that doesn't change as you refine the mesh.
The above figure should appear on your ANSYS workspace after the whole meshing process is performed. Then, Save Your Work Toolbar > SAVE_DB
Main Menu > Preprocessor > Work Plane > Local CS > Create Local CS >At specified Location Create CS at Location Enter 0,0,0 in the popped window and press OK. Main Menu > Preprocessor > Modeling > Move/Modify > Rotate Node CS >To active CS And click Pick All The go to Apply F/M on nodes Then Enter 4 in the constant value box under FY. In this way Torque is applied on the 1st disk. And the figure should appear like this:
Now for applying Torque on the 2nd Disk perform the same process and then Main Menu > Preprocessor > Work Plane > KCS type of CS Chose cylindrical and press Apply, Then Enter the values 0,0,4 under the Create CS at location And press OK In this way Torque is applied on the 2nd disk. And a figure like this appears:
Step 7: Solve!
Before we start the solution, we should check our model for errors. Enter check in the I nput window and press Enter.
All warnings and errors found will be displayed in the Output Window. There are no errors but you will see the warnings regarding element shapes that we encountered before. So we're finally ready to kick back and let ANSYS do some of the work: assembling the local and global stiffness matrices and inverting the global system to determine the displacements at the nodes. Main Menu > Solution > Solve > Current LS Click OK in Solve C urrent Load Step menu.
ANSYS should cheerfully report "Solution is done!" Verify that ANSYS has created a file called shaft. rst in your working directory. This file contains the results of the (previous)solve.
