Finite Element Modeling and Analysis of FRP Composite Trough

Article Preview

Abstract:

A composite FRP trough is analyzed by finite element (FE) method. A modeling of FRP composite trough, which meets the performance requirements, is build in the commercial finite element software ANSYS. The deflection and stresses contours of the FRP trough for the intended application are obtained and discussed.
