Columns with Different Cross Section using ANSYS Work Bench

Abstract

In this paper we are going to analyze the strength of material and deflection due to applying load on the column. The column of different materials will be cross sectioned and will present the difference of strength of materials by ANSYS workbench. The strength of material will depend upon the young’s modulus and moment of inertia of the metal plate. We use different size of metal plates such as I-section, circular bar, rectangular bar and square bar for a specific material to know the strength of material when a load applied on the cross sections. In this paper we taken a condition that one side of column is fixed and another side is free when load is applying on the column.
