Tension peak shouldn´t be there

Beginner93

Good evening to everyone,

 

I calculated the stress in a beam and I think there is a tension on the end of the beam that shouldn´t be there (marked it with blue colour). I think it´s got an effect on the tension in the two points if calculated by my own, so that the results don´t match exactly. The moment of inertia that I used and the center of gravity is given by hyperworks, so that they has to be correct. Can anyone tell me why there is such a high tension, or is it correct and the difference between the results got an other reason? The beam is fixed with one side, but i´ve choose the dof that he can contract. The centre of

gravity is 16,12mm in z direction.

Hello,

 

Of course, since you use finite shell elements for the problem, you typically get structural stresses.

Your formulas describe the analytical solution that provides nominal stresses. If you model the problem with beam elements you would get this solution.

 

I don't understand your chosen  boundary conditions, they evoke an additional numerical singularity.

I have changed the boundary conditions to all fixed and get the attached results (simple averaging to get nodal stresses for plots)

 

Here you can see the comparison between structural and nominal stress. The effect is especially enhanced by the super fine modeling.

 

Best Regards,

Mario
