Project GoalExploring installation
of second block icing stand.
Analyze the current stand under normal loading conditions.
Analyze stand without angled support beams under normal loading conditions.
Compare results.
Method of AnalysisStructures were originally drawn in ProE and
saved as .IGES files. Structures were then imported into ANSYS Workbench for analysis.
Once geometry was imported, fixed supports and loading conditions were added.
Structural Analysis was completed.Von-Mises stresses.Total Deformation.
Comparative analysis of two structures.
Theoretical BackgroundVon Mises Stress1
The Von Mises criteria is a formula for combining these 3 stresses into an equivalent stress, which is then compared to the yield stress of the material.
If the Von Mises Stress exceeds the yield stress divided by a safety factor, then the material is considered to be at the failure condition.
Current Structure Structure has angled support
beams. Area 1 Loading
250 lbs - platform pallet jack 50 lbs – pallet 1100 lbs – ingredients used 1400 lbs total
Area 2 Loading 100 lbs – flooring weight 200 lbs – operator 300 lbs total
Area 3 Loading 250 lbs - platform pallet jack 50 lbs – pallet 1850 lbs – ingredients used 2050 lbs total

Structural ComparisonEquivalent Stress
Red area represents 500.54 psi.
Less area of maximum stress.
Red area represents 534.53 psi.
Structural ComparisonTotal DeformationMax. deformation: .013487
inLess total area in max
deformation.
•Max. deformation: .014094 in
ConclusionsBenefits of angular supports:
Equivalent Stress Area exhibiting maximum stress was reduced. Maximum stress reduced by approximately 35 psi.
Total Deformation Area exhibiting maximum deformation was reduced.
Detriments of angular supportsSlightly more deformation across total area of
the platform.
