Objective:- Comparing the performance of three types of beams under bending load.

Introduction:-Detail analysis of bending load on three types of beams (rectangular beam, I section, and C section beam) having the same material and loading conditions. In this problem, three types of beams are taken having the same materials(plain carbon steel) and magnitude of force (1500N). The experiment is done one by one and the comparison of stress, strain, and displacement will be done using the simulation tool SolidWorks.

The basic steps for doing this project are as follows:-

1. First make a sketch of the beam using the sketch tool with the proper dimensions.

     Extrude the sketch up to 400mm using extrude boss/base. Now beam is ready for simulation.

2. Now use the simulation command and set all required data are as follows:-

  * Go to the simulation tab< new study < select static( because the beam is in a static condition not in motion )

   * Add materials here plain carbon steel is taken.

      Plain carbon steel properties:

          Elastic Modulus=2.1e +11N/M^2

         Poisson's Ratio=0.28

         Shere Modulus=7.9e+10N/M^2

         Mass dernsity= 7800Kg/M^3

    * Add fixture < fixed geomatery< select end face and say ok.\

   * Create mesh. Any type of mesh you can apply but fine mesh gives enough accuracy.

           There are many types of mesh-like triangular, rectangular it depending on the requirement

    * Apply force on the face of 1500N.

    * Now time to run the study and get the result. Click on the run study 

Similarly remaining two beams are simulated and get results.

 Observation Table:-

 Result:- Maximum stress in all beams is lower than the yield strength of all beams are accepted in view of stress concentration but maximum displacement is least in c section beam and maximum in rectangular beam.
