    Apply Load
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of applying a non-parallel load to an inverted U-shaped object, which results in uneven load distribution. The user seeks assistance in determining stress concentration to assess whether this uneven load is contributing to failure in ANSYS simulations. There is a call for clarity, with one participant suggesting that the term "non-parallel" lacks engineering precision. The need for a visual representation of the setup is emphasized to facilitate better understanding. Ultimately, the focus is on analyzing the effects of the uneven load application on structural integrity.

hi...

i need help regarding applying a load that is not parallel(It's like an inverted u shape object applying load but due to it's non parallelity the load that is applied on the object is non uniform)

the difference is 1mm between one arm and the other of the inverted u object
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Do you have a drawing/image of this set up. What are you trying to achieve? Reusltant force?
 
the load applied on to the shaft is supposed to be parallel ...but it is not so...the load that is being applied on to the shaft is non parallel...so i need to determine the stress concentration to see whether this non parallel application of load is the cause for the failure in ansys....
 
You need to make a picture. You're an engineer. Non-parallel is a bogus non-engineering term. Stop using it.
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
