Question

4. (20%) After failure ofa bracket that holds a bucket of liquid hot magma, you've been asked by your boss to use your FEA skills to analyze why. You have learned that the bracket in question needs to support approximately 100 lb, distributed as shown, and you have access to the CAD drawings. In order for you to properly setup the simulation, what key piece of information are you currently missing? How would you propose to your boss solving this problem in an efficient, and hopefully not expensive , manner? Loadin Fixed side 60 40 40 20

Explanation / Answer

The Key piece of information missing is the type of load is acting on the bracket,

the brcket is supposed to bear the load of 100lb inthe condition of high temperature, but the load is not clear it's Uniformly varying,uniformly distributed or cantilever,

from the figure the load may differ based on the distance from the bolt joint and here there is no bolt joint failure so it must be bracket failure

so we can not simulate this design in software,

From the given information it' carrying magma bucket i.e the capability is more in tones,

so you can say to your bo it'll capable of 100lb.
