Analysis of Strength Parameter of Welded Joint Using ANSYS Workbench

Analysis of Strength Parameter and Performance of Welded Joint using ANSYS Workbench

Abstract

Failure of welded systems or components causes various direct losses, such as repair costs, job costs to ensure that there is no imminent failure and insurance for injuries, and production loss. In any structure machine, joints as the weakest element can first fail. We design welded joint in CAD software using Solid work and then import the joint assembly In ANSYS for analyses strength parameter of welded joint using mild steel and weld material is Al6061 and did Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) on them and perform fatigue testing so that, we applied the load conditions at which these joints having stress and deformation, fatigue life, and damage of joint by variation in weld bead thickness from 3 mm, 4mm and 5 mm. The whole analysis will be done with the help of ‘ANSYS workbench’ and will analyze their performance curves and results.
