Change in length of the rod due to the axial force using Abaqus software and Strength of Materials

Description

Change in length of the rod due to the axial force using Abaqus software and Strength of Materials

In this question, we intend to simulate a simple example having been selected about the Strength of Materials in the Abaqus software and compare the results obtained from the Abaqus software with those gained about the subject of the strength of materials

In this picture, you can observe the problem statement in which two Steel and Aluminum bars have been connected together and a force of 20 kilo newtons is applied to the aluminum bar. The purpose of this problem is to calculate the displacement of points B and C

In this training video, we solve this problem once using the Abaqus software and once the problem is solved benefitting from the Strength of Materials and the results of both are compared together subsequently

In the diagram below, the displacement of point B is calculated using Abaqus software

In the diagram below, the displacement of point C is calculated using Abaqus software

As you observe, the results obtained from the Abaqus software are quite equal to those having been gained in the Strength of materials
