    Lab Report # 3

    Objective:
    To find the deformation in a simply supported beam with a central point load application, numerically
    and analytically

    Problem Statement:
    To calculate the maximum deflection of 1.5 m long simply supported beam which has fixed support at
    one end and roller at the other end. If this beam is loaded with uniformly distributed load of 5000N and
    Young’s modulus of the material is 110000 N/mm2 while cross section of beam is square 50mm, do
    simulation on ANSYS and compare results with hand calculations

    Numerical Approach
    Finite Element Analysis (FEA): You can use software like ANSYS to perform finite
    element analysis. In FEA, you divide the beam into small elements, apply the load, and solve for
    the deflection numerically using the principles of mechanics and numerical methods.

     Geometry Definition: Define the geometry of the beam (length, cross-sectional


    dimensions).
     Material Properties: Specify material properties (modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio).
     Mesh Generation: Create a mesh of elements to discretize the beam geometry.
     Apply Boundary Conditions: Define supports at both ends of the beam and apply the
    point load at the center.
     Solve: Use the finite element method to solve for the deflection of the beam.
     Post-Processing: Analyze the results to find the maximum deflection and stress
    distribution.
