how to apply moments over a plate..?

Submitted by laxmi512 on

I am doing my m.tech project on fracture mechanics..

I have to model orthotropic plate containing holes frm which 2cracks are emanating radially frm each hole.

my problem is i have to apply out of plane loading like bending moment and torsion.

So can any pls suggest for following problems

1.which element is suitable for above problem..?

2.how to model multiple cracks in ANSYS..?

3.How to apply moments over a plate..?

If u give suggestions it will be great helpful to me..

hi

dear

you have to consider that to creat a crack gepmetry you can simply define the crack as a discontiniuity in your model but after that you have to define the crack features and then you have to put the specific order of elements around the crack tips.

to apply the bending the best way is to check the help topics in ansys help menu

otherwise you can search these keyword in the interet to find your answer

ANSYS TUTORIAL ,UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA

there  is variety of poblems which can help you toward your question
