SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on analyzing the pressure exerted by glue on a flat sheet metal adhered to a rigid cylinder or a wavy surface using ANSYS software. Participants debate whether to utilize ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) or ANSYS Workbench for these elastic deformation analyses. Key considerations include modeling the glue's properties, particularly its potential shrinkage during drying, which introduces transient analysis challenges. The consensus suggests that APDL may be more suitable for 2D axisymmetric problems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of elastic deformation principles

Hello,
Suppose I want to glue a flat piece of sheet metal onto the outside of a rigid cylinder, and then find out the pressure that the glue is exerting onto the surface of the sheet metal. Assume that the deformation is elastic. Or suppose that in a variation of this problem, the sheet metal were instead glued to a wavy surface that was also able to elastically deform. Would APDL or Workbench be better for these analyses? What features of those programs would you recommend for these analyses?
Thank you very much!

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
This could be done as a 2D axisymmetric problem using APDL. I am not sure of how you would model the glue. Does the glue cause shrinkage as it dries? If it does, then you have a transient problem to deal with as well. Any more information that you can provide?
 

Thread 'Hydraulic Cylinder Held In Place Until Needed'

I have encountered a vertically oriented hydraulic cylinder that is designed to actuate and slice heavy cabling into sections with a blade. The cylinder is quite small (around 1.5 inches in diameter) and has an equally small stroke. The cylinder is single acting (i.e. it is pressurized from the bottom, and vented to atmosphere with a spring return, roughly 200lbs of force on the spring). The system operates at roughly 2500 psi. Interestingly, the cylinder has a pin that passes through its...
