I am doing FE analysis of the plastic part (similar to Bakellite). I have two material properties: tensile strength and flexural strength. I am little confused which value to use as a criteria for the design (I use first principal stress)? Till now I have used flexural strength because stress...
I am calculating a design where plastic cover (material similar to Bakellite) is clamped with a bolt. I have calcualted the pressure under the bolt head and it was about three times the compressive stregth. I would like to ask if anybody had experience with too high contact stresses, what are...
Hi,
Recently I got a task to perform thermal fatigue analysis of solder joints. Till now I had nothing to do with such objects.
Does anybody perform such a task?? I can prepare the FEA model but there are many questions:
- what would be the material model?
- Is there any approach to calculate...
