Regard Bruhn problem

Regard Bruhn problem

(OP)
Actually iam intrested to solve book problems into FEA Model, for that I took one of Landing Gear Problem from Bruhn Book
I have modeled those truss with Beam Element in NX nastran, Iam getting results but result not converged with Text book result.
Find the attachment for the FEA model as well Book problem.
Please let me know anyone can solve the issue.
Regards,
Gopal Parthasarathy

RE: Regard Bruhn problem

remove 456 freedoms from the SPCs

use CROD elements for the brace struts (pinned ends, axial loads only)

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati

RE: Regard Bruhn problem

Yes... It's the old garbage-in garbage-out problem. pipe

RE: Regard Bruhn problem

(OP)
Yes, I agreed that's old problem, But I need solution...
Could you help me if you can
regards,
Gopal Parthasarathy

RE: Regard Bruhn problem

(OP)
Yes I did with CROD, When I use CROD Iam not getting any magnitute for the Rc Reaction.
Becasue 10000lbs applied into two direction that Fx-5000lbs; Fy = 8660.564.
CROD Not resisting any bending stiffness there is Stiffness issue came, So we have to use PARAM, BAILOUT, -1
But Y direction it's taking as CROD take Axial Load. That's what I used BEAM to take Fx Load.
Please chexk the problem.

RE: Regard Bruhn problem

the main fttg (connecting to Rc) needs to be a beam, 'cause it's taking bending.

the brace struts are designed to take axial load only, and should work with CROD.

remove the fixity of the constraints (this creates redundancies that Bruhn would not have solved for); his reactions are clearly pinned. if this problem is all in-plane you need to consider the out-of-plane freedom ... you constraints need to constrain the 6 rigid body motions.

i imagine that this problem is meant to be solvable by three equations of equilibrium (three unknowns) ... looking carefully at D there is no moment constraint. But FEA is not as smart as we are ... we know this is an in-plane problem, so we know how to solve it; FEA needs to solve the full 3D problem, the constraints to solve the problem react 3 rigid body motions, so you need to provide the other three constraints (Fz, Mx, My) at D.

be Very Very careful using PARAM, BAILOUT, your model shouldn't need it ... maybe use it to get your model to run to see what's the problem and fix the problem so it runs without BAILOUT.

Really Thanks for the solution.
I got the result as same as book result

RE: Regard Bruhn problem

what, no LPS ?

RE: Regard Bruhn problem

GoPal,
Sorry I could not help because I've been retired too long.
But I had to ping you with that GIGO. Everyone is guilty of
GIGOs. I'm assuming you are a university student going through
learning curves. You have chosen a good approach of checking out Bruhn.
His book(s) has(have) many errors and there are correction sheets (errata sheets)
on the web.
