Comparative Analysis of Tetrahedrons and Hexahedrons for Finite Element Mesh during Static Structural Analysis of Guide Bracket

Abstract

In mechanical engineering a bracket is any simple component for fixing one part to another, usually larger part. To enable the outstretched arm and to support a greater weight, a bracket will have a third arm running diagonally between the horizontal and vertical arms, or the bracket may be a solid triangle. A simple rigid structure and the shape of an L, one arm is fixed to a vertical surface and the other one is projecting horizontally to support a shelf or other weight. This paper describes the analysis of mechanical component Guide Bracket in finite element mesh by the various methods. We have designed the guide bracket in Solid works software and are imported to Ansys workbench for finite element analysis (FEA). In FEA, the structural analysis is performed and the analysis is done. We applied some constraints like stress, deformation of different materials, toughness, elasticity and other attributes. There are different standards, styles, and shapes of brackets. Each bracket style has its specific requirement for mounting a component, or being suitable with a particular surface shape. We can design and manufacture any kind of metal bracket as per our need (so long as our design fits within our tooling requirements).
