The Application of ANSYS to Filled Conduit Analysis

Filled conduit is adopted as an example to analyze the finite elements of its structure by ANSYS program. The distributed law of the annular stress of conduit is analyzed and it is pointed out that the conduit top, bottom and side are the key conduit sections. Meanwhile, the results of ANSYS analysis are compared with those of structural mechanics and BEM method. At the same time, the deformation of backfilled earth around conduit is analyzed and compared with Anson Marston's theory.
