Individual Assignement (ANSYS) - 2021

This document outlines 4 individual assignments involving finite element analysis using ANSYS Workbench. The assignments involve: 1. Analyzing the deformation and support reaction forces of a truss tower crane made of steel rectangular bars under given dimensions. 2. Determining the deformation and von Mises stress distributions of a steel torque arm component under a given load and boundary conditions. 3. Finding the deformation and stresses in a steel fuel tank of given dimensions, thickness, and material properties when subjected to an internal pressure. 4. Performing a steady-state thermal analysis and subsequent thermal stress analysis of an aluminum heat sink with pin-fins to determine total deformation and von Mises stress.

Individual Assignment (ANSYS Workbench) (5%)

Finite Element Method (PE – 6221 and PE – 6251)


Submission Date: On or before June 3, 2021
1. The truss tower crane shown below is made of structural steel rectangular bars of a 3 mm ×
3 mm cross section. Use ANSYS Workbench to determine the truss deformation and the
support reaction forces.

2. The torque arm shown below is a 5 mm thick automotive component made of structural steel
with a Young’s modulus of 200 GPa and a Poisson’s ratio of 0.3. Using ANSYS Workbench,
determine the deformation and von Mises stress distributions under the given load and
boundary conditions.

3. A fuel tank, with a total length = 5 m, diameter = 1 m, and thickness = 0.01 m, is shown
below. Assume Young’s modulus E = 200 GPa and Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.3. Using shell
elements, find the deformation and stresses when the tank is applied with an internal pressure
p = 1 MPa and placed on the ground.

4. Heat sinks are commonly used to enhance heat dissipation from electronic devices. The heat
sink shown below has a square base of size 22 mm × 22 mm × 2 mm and consists of an array
of square pin-fins, each of size 2 mm × 2 mm × 8 mm. The pin-fins are separated by a gap
distance of 4 mm in each direction. The heat sink is initially at a temperature of 28°C. The

heat sink made of aluminum with thermal conductivity k = 170 W/(m K), density ρ = 2800
kg/m3, specific heat c = 870 J/(kg K), Young’s modulus E = 70 GPa, Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.3,
and thermal expansion coefficient α = 22 × 10−6/°C. A fan forces air over all surfaces of the
heat sink except for the base, where a heat flux q′ is prescribed. The surrounding air is 28°C
with a heat transfer coefficient of h = 30 W/(m2°C). (Part A): Study the steady-state thermal
response of the heat sink with an initial temperature of 28°C and a constant heat flux input of
q′ = 1000 W/m2. (Part B): Suppose the base of the heat sink is fixed. Study the thermal stress
response of the heat sink by using the steady-state solution as the temperature load, and
determine total deformation and von-Mises stress.
