Finite Element Analysis of Composite Volleyball Upright Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

A composite FRP volleyball upright structure is analyzed by finite element (FE) method. A static analysis is performed using commercial finite element software ANSYS. Deformation and stress distributions under regular and upper bound force (i.e., to include dynamic/impact effect) are provided. An elastic eigenvalue analysis is carried out as well to predict the buckling load and modes.
