We recently sat down for a quick interview with Luke Mosse, Specialist Application Engineer at LEAP to find out more about his experience from simulating blast, crash & fatigue using Ansys LS-DYNA, Ansys Mechanical and nCode software.
Designing equipment intended for use in the bulk material handling industry is no simple task. Engineers need to consider day to day operating conditions as well as unpredictable loadings such as user error/misuse and erratic weather conditions. Simulation software can optimise machine design and gives engineers the capability to decrease project budgets/timeframes and minimise the…
Fatigue is failure under repeated or otherwise varying load which never reaches a level sufficient to cause failure in a single application. Component seems to lose strength after multiple load applications, appears to get tired, hence the name “fatigue”. Failure caused by fatigue can be minor or catastrophic. The consequences of failure are…
