Finite Element Analysis of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic Hyperbolic Natural Draft Cooling Tower

Abstract:

Applicating the finite element analysis software Ansys to do finite element analysis of a glass fiber reinforced plastic hyperbolic natural draft cooling tower .Under the working condition of gravity and wind load, to contrast the two models of the presence or absence of abdominal rod displacement, stress and unit axial force, and check the stability of compressive bar, and structural optimization. Analysis results can provide reference for the structural design of hyperbolic cooling tower.
