DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF CANTILEVER BEAM

Abstract

A long, thin cantilever beam with a uniform rectangular cross-section and homogenous, isotropic linear elastic material characteristics is the object of this investigation into deflection and stress distribution. Cantilever beam deflection is fundamentally a three-dimensional issue. There is a compression in the opposite direction to every elastic stretch in the same direction.Stress, strain, and deformation may be found via the use of static and modal analysis in this project. throughout the design phase of a structural or machine component's vibration properties, including its inherent frequencies and mode shapes. As a result, it has emerged as a go-to method for explaining and controlling a wide variety of vibration phenomena seen in the real world.Using the same I, C, and T cross-sectional beams, we examined the stress and natural frequency for various materials in this study. We use ANSYS for both the design and analysis of the cantilever beam. The natural frequency, mode forms, and deflection of a cantilever beam made of various sections and materials may be obtained by vibrating the beam, which is fixed at one end.
