Abstract |
|
In this work 'Double Ended Shear Beam' type load cell is considered for shape optimization by using finite element method. The shape optimization is carried out to minimize the weight of 'Double Ended Shear Beam' type load cell without exceeding allowable strain. The intention of the work is to create the geometry of 'Double Ended Shear Beam' type load cell to find out the optimum solution. FEM software ANSYS 14.5 is used for shape optimization of 'Double Ended Shear Beam' type load cell. If the stress & strain values are within the permissible range, then certain dimensions are modified to reduce the amount of material needed. Experimental verification is carried out by photo-elasticity technique with the help of Polariscope Instrument. Using Polariscope the stress distribution pattern is verified for a photoelastic model of 'Double Ended Shear Beam' using Diffused light Polariscope set up. Experimental results are compared with FEM results. |
