Analysis parameters:
- Material Used : Plain carbon steel
- Yield Strength : 32 ksi
- Mesh: Coarse
- Load : 10 & 5 lbf
- Von mises unit - ksi
1st study:
This study was done on upper portion of the lift.
Study parameters:
- Fixture - 4 holes in the bottom side of each arms
- Load : 10lbf
- Global Interaction : contact (with no c.o.f)
In this study, I have also included a pin that connects two arm. Now the point of stress is shifted from bottom holes to pin area. but the upper holes still had same ends.
3rd study:
My main focus is to control the stress on the middle portion of it. so I increase the material to reduce stress by adding a larger ring to it.
4th study:
Want to check how the fillet on ring affects the stress plot.
