Abstract

In this paper, deformation, Von-Mises stress and failure analysis were carried out on a base stand using ANSYS workbench. The investigation is performed using four different materials, i.e. structural steel, aluminium alloy, carbon fibre, and copper alloy with an applied loading force of 1000N at the tip of the structure. The results obtained were compared and analysed, to identify the best material capable of withstanding the subjected force. This technique highlights a complete reaction of the structure to the loading force, therefore providing the room for structural optimisation to reduce the risk of unexpected failure and unnecessary material wastage. The structural design was carried out using SolidWorks software and then imported into the ANSYS workbench for analysis.
