Review of loads and boundary conditions
- [Instructor] We'll now review the loads and boundary conditions that are going to be applied to the model. There are two sets of loading actions to be applied to the model, one for the compressive case and one for the axial case. In both cases, the loads are applied at the little end. Let's select the little end view. Compressive case is going to be spread over the 120 degrees arc using the two surfaces highlighted here. We use the endpoints of the fillet runout rather than exactly 120 degrees. This is a reasonable approximation. The applied force will be correct, but the area will be slightly less than the conventional method. The pressure will be a fraction higher. The pressure will be a constant pressure distribution acting normal to these surfaces. The tensile load will be applied to the opposite pair of faces, selected here. The surface distribution is now over 120 degrees, but it will vary as a sinusoidal distribution about the horizontal axis. This is a standard engineering…
