In doing so, the location of stress concentrations will be evident as stress abruptly jumps above yeild point. Also, could we use deflection instead of stress to check for mesh convergence? If the deflection of the part under evaluation does not change with increase in mesh density, then is it appropriate to assume that the mesh density is adequate?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-233945","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-mesh-independence-study","topic-tag-stress-singularity"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["258","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["104.119.188.15"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2741"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["233945"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","258"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["234005"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["234005"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-08-29 13:06:50"]},"test":"cce536fd914cc9add5696534d5f9c9addab6fb55"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/233945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/233945\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
