Homework #2 MEAM 599-02 Automotive Body Structures 1998 Winter 1. Using AISI/CARS 96_GAS or equivalent software such as UNIGRAPHICS if you are familiar with, find the geometric property of the following four cross sections. To do this, the thickness of the sheet metal to form the frames is assumed to be 1 mm. If a specific material characterization is required, you may pick up it from the database in AISI/CARS 96 for structural steel commonly used in automotive body. Since the geometry is given in approximately, you will determine the input to AISI/CARS 96 based on your judgement for details. (a) 1

Assuming the cross section given in 1-(a), we consider a cantilever beam shown in the following figure.

F i x e d E n d P = 1 0 l b L = 2 0 i n Although this cantilever should be regarded as a short beam, assuming that this is modeled as a beam we have studied so far, (a) Find the axial stress distribution on the cross section at the fixed end of the cantilever, and (b) Find the horizontal and vertical deflections as well as the angle of twist of the beam at the free end. To do so, you may model this cantilever by a beam element. Since the one end is fixed, you will end up a 6 x 6 matrix equation that can be solved by MATLAB. Unknowns are the two transverse deflections of the shear center, the average axial displacement, three rotations about the x, y, and z axes, respectively, where x and y are the principal axes of the cross section. For your analysis, you should specify what material constants are applied for structural steel. Here, we expect that Young s modulus is about 200 Gpa ( 30 M psi ), and Poisson s ratio is about 0.29. It is also noted that the vertical load P is applied not on the shear center, it generates twist moment about the shear center. Thus, you will have three input, say, V x, V y, and M z. (a) From the result in 1-(a) by CARS96 we have I = 3331. 10 mm, I = 195. 10 mm, J = 3. 2 10 mm 5 4 5 4 5 4 uu vv c and the principal axes is rotated clockwise 17.7 degree. Thus the vertically applied force P generates the two components of the transverse loads in the principal axis directions P u and

P v as well as the toque about the axis through the shear center M z = P e x, where ex is the perpendicular distance of the shear center to the line of vertical force obtained as e x = 32.5mm-16mm : P = P sin θ = 135240. N u P = P cos θ = 42. 3763 N v M = Pe = 733. 9530 N. mm z x The transverse loads Pu and Pv generates the bending moments at the fixed end, and they are 4 Mu = Pv L = 2. 1527 10 N. mm. 3 M = P L = 68702. 10 N. mm v u These generate the axial stress σ z M I u = v uu M I vv u u where (u,v) are the coordinates of a point of the cross section from the centroid of the cross section in the u and v principal directions, respectively. Thus, using the following MATLAB program, we can compute the axial stress due to the transverse load P. Here it is noted that torque M z does not contribute the axial stress. % MATLAB Program for HW #2-2 (a) % 599-02 Automotive Body Structures % % define the reference coordinate of the nodes xr=[0,2,2,44,50,76,70,64,62,54,54,16,16,2]; yr=[2,2,12,14,20,68,74,76,78,80,90,94,102,92]; % define the line segments ijk=[1,2;2,3;3,4;4,5;5,6;6,7;7,8;8,9;9,10;10,11;11,12;12,13;12,14;14,3]; % draw the cross section [nelx,node]=size(ijk) for nel=1:nelx xp(1)=xr(ijk(nel,1)); xp(2)=xr(ijk(nel,2)); yp(1)=yr(ijk(nel,1)); yp(2)=yr(ijk(nel,2)); plot(xp,yp) if nel==1, hold, end end hold % location of the centroid cx=28.8; cy=53; % location of the shear center
