Hello!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For one of my FEA assignments, I have to model the Hertzian contact stress in two cylindrical elements that are in a line contact as can be seen on the picture below. The stresses have to be verified under two conditions, one is normal loading and the other one is tangential loading. Dimensions of the cylinder do not matter and the material to be used will be steel (AISI 52100).<\/p>\n

We can simplify the problem to a 2D setting, so we can consider something like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sadly, I have no idea on how to start this problem. I am not familiar with the different kinds of contacts in Ansys, since I am just a beginner ^^” Could you please help me out and tell me how to tackle this?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m also specifically interested into how to set the meshes, how to apply the force and support at just one point on the outer edge of the cylinder, how to set contact and analysis settings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If I described something unclear, or if you need more details, please let me know \"\"
Thanks a lot in advance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-38197","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
