FEM example: Calculation of a pedestrian bridge
This FEM example from practice for the static calculation of a pedestrian bridge was developed within the framework of a non-profit project in cooperation with the company Kirchgässner Elektrotechnik GmbH, with whom we have a long-standing partnership. Kirchgässner Elektrotechnik GmbH is a strongly expanding family business with headquarters in Binau and the right contact for [...] Read MoreFE analysis of rubber and plastic components
Linear-elastic material models are generally unsuitable for the FEM calculation of rubber or plastic components. Small strains are assumed for linear calculations. When calculating the strength of rubber or hyper-elastic plastics, we must assume both high strains and non-linear material behaviour. The correct selection of the material model and the corresponding [...] Read MoreFE- calculation and force determination via rigid body simulation
For component design using the FEM method, the loads on the assemblies and individual parts to be designed must be determined. For existing designs, measurements are often carried out for this purpose. One method for determining the acting forces is rigid body simulation. For this purpose, the CAD bodies of an assembly, for which component masses, inertia, functional principles and [...] Read MoreStructural analysis by FEM calculation to ensure function and product quality
The safeguarding of function and product quality by means of FEM calculation in mechanical and plant engineering is now common practice. Originally, product development using FE analysis was limited to the automotive sector. In the meantime, however, word has spread to other branches of industry that time and cost savings are enormous if prototypes are developed before [...] Read MoreFEM calculation of a stool made of plastic using a 3D printer
Through extensive material tests in cooperation with industrial partners and the development of a corresponding calculation model, Goebel Engineering is one of the few engineering companies able to calculate 3D models from the printer made of stable plastics. Basic material models for FEM calculation For the strength calculation of plastics and wood, failure criteria must first be defined. For this [...]
