Enhancing Safety with FEA Seismic and Shock Analysis
Performing FEA Seismic and Shock Analysis is essential for understanding and improving structural performance under dynamic load conditions. Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), we analyzed various models, including pedestals, controller assemblies, pipe cages, and building frames. Advanced tools like ANSYS provided the precision needed to evaluate resilience against seismic and shock events effectively.
Ensuring Stability in Pedestal Models
In one instance, FEA was applied to a pedestal model to assess its stability under a 25G shock event with a 30ms pulse duration. The analysis also considered vibration loads along all three axes. By determining resonance frequencies and identifying stress concentrations, we pinpointed areas where design adjustments could enhance performance. This approach ensured the pedestal could withstand demanding operational conditions.
Evaluating Controller Assembly Components
Additionally, FEA seismic and shock analysis was performed on a controller assembly comprising a main housing, front and top covers, an inner mounting plate, a bracket, and circuit boards. This analysis examined how the assembly responded to vibration and shock loads. With these insights, engineers refined the design to improve reliability in challenging environments, ensuring each component met operational standards.
Improving Pipe Cages and Building Frames
A pipe cage model was analyzed for seismic stress, simulating conditions in seismic zone 4. The results highlighted stress-prone areas during earthquakes, enabling targeted reinforcements. Similarly, seismic stress analysis on indoor store building frames ensured compliance with US standards. By factoring in an Ss value of 2.345, based on San Bernardino, CA conditions, we verified these frames could handle extreme seismic forces.
