Hi,
Just trying to figure out how to apply the cosine load distribution to a bolt hole in strand7. I'm try to validate bearing stress in a tension joint and need to tick this method off the list.
The formula would be -4Pcos(theta)/(Pi x D). I just don't know my way around Strand7 well enough to...
Hi All,
Has anyone used the elastic bearing stress concentration factor (Kbe) to calculate the maximum stress along the bearing plane of a single bolt tension joint. I am applying this to FRP material and I can only get these to converge on my FEA in the higher w/d and e/d range (>5). Any...
Hi all,
I am fairly new to Strand7 and I am completing a project. I need to apply fixed edge restraints to a circular hole rather than applying nodal restraints? Is this possible?
I am sure it's in the help menu somewhere but my limited knowledge of FEA terminology is making this a difficult...
Hi everyone,
I'm doing my thesis and need to model an orthotropic material in strand7. Does anyone know if I can use Tsai-hill or Tsai-wu failure criteria on a 2d plate analysis? The help menu says it can be used on laminate however I don't have the laminate data to model this. I wish to use 2d...
