WHAT IS DEGREES OF FREEDOM...

 Hey guys, Today we are talking about the degrees of freedom which is dof''s. The dof is the freedom of any point that it wants to move in a particular direction. T he maximum number of logically independent values, which are values that have the  freedom  to vary. In the CAD or designing of any component, it is very important to understand about the dof. If we don't consider it may lead to failure. Also in FEA, the dof is very important in terms of calculating the result of getting the proper values from the mesh. The principle of meshing works on the dof. In which each node has its own dof. We will be going to talk about the mesh and why mesh is important and how it works later on in detail. But in short, the mesh is the important part in which it divides the modal into the element and nodes so that at each node we can extract the result from it. The nodes are points created by elements. Going back to the dof, each node has its own dof. We know that we have the 12 no of...

WHY STIFFNESS MATRIX IS IMPORTANT IN FEA

 Hey guys,  Let's talk about some important thing which is the stiffness matrix. The stiffness matrix is used in every type of analysis either it is static or dynamic. So what is the stiffness matrix as its word suggest the stiffness of an object or stiffness of anything  The stiffness matrix is a matrix which is the stiffness of any elements or the structure which is expressed in the matrix form for solving the governing equation of the problem to get the solution. The stiffness matrix is the key to the treasure to the FEA. Bcoz if there is no stiffness matrix associated with your problem then we cant solve the FEA problem. The stiffness matrix is denoted by this [k] . The matrix mainly depends on the properties which are the material and the geometric structure. For deriving the matrix for any geometry or shape of elements there are three types of methods which is... 1. Direct method: The  direct method is easy to understand but difficult to program so the commerc...

DAMPING IN DYNAMIC ANALYSIS...

 Hey guys, Today we are talking about the most important topic, which is damping... Previously, we talked about the static, Transient, & Dynamic analysis, now we know that the damping effect is considered in the transient and dynamic analysis. So, what is damping? The important thing to know, that damping can be good as well as bad according to your use of the system.              The damping is such a phenomenon when the displacement of any object happens there is damping that get produced. A system can be so damped that it cannot vibrate. Actually friction is also a type of damping. The damping force dissipates the energy in the material generally in the internal thermal energy. Talking about the static analysis where if the object is subjected to a certain load the displacement is happening in which we cannot consider the damping effect for the object.              But if talking about ...

INERTIA RELIEF ANALYSIS

 Hey Guys,  Today we are talking about the Inertia of relief analysis. what is Inertia relief analysis? The inertia relief analysis is such a type of analysis in which the analysis of unconstrained bodies is done. So what is mean of unconstrained bodies, the bodies which have not any degrees of freedom fix or all dof's are free is known as unconstrained bodies. In real practises there are various unconstrained bodies are there. For doing such types of analysis we apply the fixed support or the remote displacement but in real conditions, they are not subjected to any of the constrained motion. So for evaluating these results we have to use the Inertia relief analysis           The procedure of Inertia Relief analysis is to balance externally applied forces so that bodies with no or partial boundary conditions remain in the equilibrium position.    Let us assume the case of an Aeroplane in cruise- When the aeroplane is on the ground we hav...
