Torsion of Thinwalled Sections - Torsional Buckling

Altair Forum User

Hi Forum,

 

Currently I am investigating a carbon drive shaft design. Carbon drive shafts are characterized by the fact they have closed, thinwalled sections. Those thin wall thicknesses are vulnerable to buckling, when a torsion load is applied. I was looking for a method/analysis method And manual to program this in hypermesh/hyperworks.

 

Kind Regards,

This can be done using both Optistruct & Radioss solver.Refer online tutorials for same.

Hi Rahul,

 

No doubt hyperworks can solve this problem for buckling, but where can i find the tutorials. Do you sometimes have the link, because i Always end up with the wrong tutorials or information (I guess)

 

requested: Tutorial or more information on Buckling due to torsional load on a thin walled carbon fibre driveshaft

 

Help would be really welcome! Thanks for the help and effort!

 

Kind regards

We do have tutorials based on different types of analysis. you would find buckling of beam in Optistruct online tutorials.same procedure you need follow in thin walled section.

Hi,

there is tutorial in HW help

enter menu Help>Hyperworks help home

under 'Reference Guides' enter Solvers>Optistruct

On Optistruct page, enter Optistruct Tutorials and Examples > Tutorials > Basic small displacement > OS-1040

 

Follow the tutorial, you'll know how to perform buckling analysis for your shaft
