Another way of testing flexure strength is by quarter point loading as shown. The sample section is 150mm x 150mm. If both P = 50,000N, what is the stress at failure at point O? %3D P 200mm 200mm 200mm Point O 600mm R1 |R2
Create a 2D contour plot to allow the performance of the structure to be assessed against the maximum distortion energy (von Mises) criteria. Comment on the results. You can do this by plotting a contour of the von-mises stress and then normalising the result against the yield stress. This will produce a contour plot of the failure index. This index represents the ratio of the von-mises stress to the yield stress of the material.
