Creating dimples on beams has been proven to be an effective way of altering their vibrational behavior. The objective of this research is to simulate the process of stamping using the finite element (FE) method to create a model of a dimpled beam. This dimple has non-uniform thickness, so it shows close agreement with its real-life counterpart.
ANSYS® Parametric Design Language (APDL) is used to build a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model and simulate the process of stamping used to create the dimple. The structural simulation is validated by calculating the thickness and width of the deformed geometry of the …
