    This document outlines the requirements for Project 1 of the MEC 313 Finite Element Techniques module. Students will conduct finite element analyses of plates with holes under stress to investigate: (1) mesh refinement, (2) element shape, (3) element type, (4) stress concentration factors, and (5) fatigue resistance. Reports are limited to 1000 words and 10 figures and will be graded based on analysis, results interpretation, engineering assessment, and writing. Models are limited to 1000 elements. The project is worth 50% of the overall module grade and is due March 18, 2019.

    Department of Mechanical Engineering

    MEC 313: Finite Element Techniques

    Project 1 - 2019
    Aim
    The aim of this project is to produce a finite element model of a stressed plate containing
    a hole. Each student will perform an analysis of a different structure. Students are
    encouraged to co-operate with others, to facilitate their understanding and improve their
    modelling approach and prediction accuracy.

    Report
    Each student will produce an individual report which should include:

    (i) a mesh refinement study


    (ii) element shape considerations (rectangular against triangular)
    (iii) comparison between 4 and 8-noded isoparametric elements
    (iv) concentration factors
    (v) an engineering assessment of the problem including the resistance to
    fatigue for 107 cycles (see Figure 1)

    There is a limit of 1000 words and 10 figures. The marks breakdown will be as follows:
    Analysis approach, model construction and mesh quality (40%), Results and
    interpretation (40%), Engineering assessment (10%), report quality and writing style
    (10%).

    This assignment is worth 50% of the overall module grade.

    Deadline
    Reports must be submitted by Monday 18 March 2019 (Week 7) by 11.59 a.m. through
    Turnitin AND a hard copy handed in to the MEC Student Support Office, 36-38 Victoria
    Street. The departmental policy on late submission will be applied.

    The model
    In all cases the model is a plate 1000 mm long x 300 mm wide x 10 mm thick, containing
    a hole whose size across the plate width is 100 mm and whose corner fillet radii are 10mm,
    as shown in Figure 2. Each student will receive a value for the hole height, X and the hole
    offset from the axis of the plate, offset, as well as the material their plate is made out of,
    material. These details are in the “Project 1 configurations” sheet on MOLE located in the
    “Assignment 1” folder under “Assessment”.
    The plate is clamped at one end and loaded at the other by two equal point loads of 250N
    each, directed normal to the plate. The position of the loads on the edge corresponds to
    the position of the tips of the hole.
    There are two material cases.
    (a) 1047 Steel, a medium carbon steel.
    (b) 2014 –T6 Aluminium Alloy.

    Models may contain a maximum of 1000 elements; The number of elements in your
    model can be displayed by going into Model, click on Mesh to display Details of
    “Mesh”, scroll down and expand the option called “Statistics”. The total number of
    elements (and nodes) in your model should be displayed. You must include this as an
    appendix to your report.
