SolidWorks Lesson Simulation Stress Definitions Physics

http://www.solidworks.com

This lesson defines normal (axial) stress and shear stress. Normal Stress is defined a Force per unit area. Normal stress occurs when a force is applied perpendicular to the cross section of an object. Shear stress occurs along or parallel to the surface. Both components of stress make up von Mises stress. Stress and deflection are illustrated with SimulationXpress analysis software. When the material changes from Steel to Aluminum, the deflection and safety factor also changes. Material properties such as Elastic Modulus, Poisson's Ratio, Yield Strength and Density play a role in deflection and stress of linear elastic materials.

This is a SolidWorks Lesson Plan and Tutorial developed by Marie Planchard for use by Students, Eductors and Teachers for Instruction and Demonstration to reinforce Education of SolidWorks 3D CAD Mechanical Engineering Design Software.

The restraint on the upper hole is not realistic. There should actually be a "point or saddle type" contact zone. In reality, how do you mount a hook? On a chain or cable, right? The SW application engineers think you put the hook in a vice clamp!!!

This hook tutorial was the most perverted one in solidworks
