The title of the project is as follows:
A study of the effect of imperfections on the buckling capability of a soda can under axial loading.
My group and I are aiming to carry out the following:
A study of the effect of imperfections on the buckling capability of a soda can under axial loading.
My group and I are aiming to carry out the following:
- Linear buckling analysis of soda can to gain first 5 eigenvalues
- Riks buckling analysis with plasticity and the introduction of imperfections in the form of wall thickness
- Riks buckling analysis with plasticity and the introduction of imperfections in the form of out-of-roundness
- Experimental analysis on an Instron machine to compare with results gained on Abaqus CAE
- Create part (Shell, extrusion)
- Apply material properties and section
- Mesh – Sweep
- Sets of up and down slave nodes with master reference points
- Steps – Linear perturbation, Buckle
- Apply constraints, BCs and load
- Add plasticity values for material using true-stress strain curve
- Steps- Riks, static step
- Load is set for that to be equal to first buckling load (-2554.5 Pa)
- Apply load equal to that of the first buckling load
- Introduce imperfections using edit keywords window
- Max deformation from linear buckling analysis normalised (1/1.092E-03)
- Multiply by thickness (0.097E-03)
- Multiply by 0.1 for 10% imperfection, 0.2 for 20% and so on
- Using edit keywords window, type in what's shown on the attached image (where Buckle_load are the results from the linear analysis)
