Hi all,
Currently I am doing some calculations which involve shear forces in pins (retrieved from FEA). The maximum shear factor for a round pin would be 4/3. However I am wondering if this also applies for pins with in plane shear. The pins are forced into a hole and connect two flanges. There...
I'm making a model for a pressure vessel. First i made one quickly with 3D solid mesh tetra10 noded. But because i wanted to make some adjustments it was easier to make a plate mesh. Locally the stress is larger for my plate mesh than my solid mesh and i don't understand why. Thicknesses are...
Hi all,
At my company we want to establish acceptance criteria for FEM. This is mostly concerning peak stresses. Our safety factors are set by the company, we don't use any norm at the moment. The main issue we have is that we want to identify when a stress exceeding local stress it's a peak...
