Using ANSYS workbench for structural analysis
A.1 Introduction
The strength design of machines and structures has long been made based on the design by formula or rule approach, but it has been reported that the application of the design by analysis allows removing the unnecessary conservatism caused by applying the design by formula approach [1]. For structural components that have complex geometries and/or geometric discontinuities, i.e. stress raisers, the elementary theory of elasticity and/or the mechanics of materials is no longer effective for evaluating stress distributions in such components. Thus the design by formula approach tends to bring about excessive conservatism.
Owing to the astonishing development of computer ...
