Substructuring Analysis For Impact Dynamics Using Ansys Finite Element Package, Chang Ho Cho
Theses
This thesis is intended to serve as an introductory guide to ANSYS finite element package for the analysis of impact dynamics. Substructuring technique has been used to reduce the degrees of freedom.
Finite element method is essentially a numerical technique to calculate elastic deformations. However, by introducing some techniques like gap element, the technique can be easily extended to rigid body dynamic analysis. To solve the equation of motion both for rigid body and elastic deformations, direct integration technique is used in this thesis, i.e., Houbolt method.
ANSYS is a large scale general purpose computer program for finite element analysis. …
