We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Can one generate frequency response for equivalent stress?

      One cannot generate a Frequency Response (i.e., Bode) plot for von Mises stress in a harmonic analysis as it is not a harmonic result. It is periodic, but it is not harmonic. The same is true of Total Deformation (or, indeed, any derived quantity). The component values are harmonic, but values derived from them are not. One can use the amplitude of the equivalent stress.
