Computation & analysis of aluminum and steel structures by using ABAQUS software for engineering applications

The area of material analysis demands wide research for variety of engineering applications in diversified fields. The aim of this study is to compute and investigate the properties of steel and aluminium by using specified software ABAQUS-CAE(6-10). The impact of applied load and change in temperature for these two materials for hollow and solid cylinder, solid cantilever beam is computed and analysed. It is found that the change in certain parameter leads to the change in the dimensions of the chosen specimen which could be utilized as performance measure for variety of engineering applications viz., power system material, biomaterials and other industrial purposes.
