    Exercise 8 - Creep Analysis

    Uploaded by

    This document outlines steps for performing a creep analysis in MSC Patran. The analysis involves: 1) Building and loading a cantilever beam model non-linearly, 2) Changing the analysis to creep and allowing the beam to creep for 20 seconds, 3) Monitoring the analysis and reading the results to see the stress in the beam relax over time. Key steps include creating a creep property, enforced displacement load case, and plotting stress over time to observe relaxation.

    Exercise 8 - Creep Analysis http://www.mscsoftware.com/training_videos/patran/Reverb_help/Marc/...

    Exercise 8 - Creep Analysis


    In this exercise, the loading history consists of two steps. In the first step, you will extend the cantilever beam non-linearly
    under an enforced displacement. In the second step, you will change the analysis to a creep analysis. In this step, you will
    allow the cantilever beam to creep for 20 seconds. The second step will cause the stress in the beam to relax.

    Step 1: Do Exercise 1 - Build a Cantilever Beam

    Step 2: Open a New Database

    Step 3: Import the Old Database

    Step 4: Post Only the Beam

    Step 5: Create a Creep Property

    The exponent of time could have been input as 1.0. The reason: namely one is entering . Now we re
    Note:
    want epsilon dot . So the program takes the derivative and one gets epsilon dot = A * n * t(n-1). So
    one has an identically zero strain rate, hence no relaxation. Thus n must be entered as 1.0 or left bla

    Step 6: Create a New Load Case

    Step 7: Create the Enforced Displacement

    Step 8: Create Analysis Load Steps and Submit the Job

    Create the second step, start by changing the Job Step Name.

    Step 9: Monitor the Analysis

    Step 10: Read the Results

    Step 11: Postprocess the Results

    Repeat this step for the time increment at t=21 seconds. Note the relaxation of the stress. The following plots should
    appear:

    Step 12: Plot the X Component of Stress with Time

    The following graph should appear. The initial loading from time T=0 to time T=1.0 represents the nonlinear static
    ramp of the load. At times greater than 1.0, the curve represents the creep loading which represents the stress
    relaxation.
