Structural analysis using CAE is carried out in advance in the product design process to verify whether the product can withstand the operating environment. In structural analysis, constraint points and loads are added to the model to check the stresses generated.
What is this stress in the first place? Simply put, it is the stress applied to the product.
If this stress exceeds the strength of the material, it leads to failure or fracture.
If the peak value of the generated stress exceeds the material strength, the peak value can be reduced by reviewing the product geometry.
The peak value is lowered by "dispersing" rather than "lowering" the stress value.
The total amount of stress to which the resin is subjected does not change even if the product shape is changed.
In the structural analysis of the L-angle shown below, the stresses are dispersed and the peak value is reduced under the same loading conditions by adding corner radii.
The peak value is lowered by dispersing the stress even under the same loading conditions.
