Stiffness and strength calculation of steel channel systems

The aim of the project is to calculate stiffness and strength of different steel channels and piping systems with their connector elements and brackets.

Field of expertise:

Simulation

Methods:

FEA (Finite Element Analysis)

Application area:

Hydrodynamics| Rotating Machines| Welded structure

Industry:

Other

Calculations are needed in the construction engineering industry to determine stiffness, strength and failure modes of steel channel systems. Non-linear simulations are performed using realistic material models and contacts with bolt-pretension. The evaluation is done according to EuroCode3 or AISC.

Previous Case study

Simulation of rolling noise

Next Case study

FEA aided development of a composite automotive roof box
