Abstract

There are several applications in the aerospace, automotive and energy industries, for example, that often require high fidelity modeling or problems involving structural mechanics, heat transfer, or electromagnetic. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a popular method for solving the underlying partial differential equations (PDE) for these problems. 3D finite element analysis or 3D-FEA accurately captures the physics of these problems. The relevance of this study is to show how to set up finite element analysis (FEA) simulations and leverage the model of the environment to solve problems typically encountered by engineers and scientists in a variety of fields such as aerospace, automotive and energy. This study analyzes the behavior of mechanical components under different physical effects and shows a thermal analysis of a commercial KUKA YouBot robotic arm component by finding temperature distributions, figures, code, and test results for multiple materials. The developed model allows understanding and assessing the responsive component under loading, vibration or heat and determining deformation stresses among many things to select the best material and even prevent failure or undesired resonance as an example. These systems are typically modeled using partial differential equations or PDEs that capture the underlying physics of the problem and FEA is just one of the most common methodologies to solve this type of equation. The linear regression model can be a good predictive model that represents the relationship between thermal conductivity and max temperature to avoid undesired performance of the robotic arm.

Highlights

  • There are a lot of different analytical methods that engineers can use to solve structural mechanics problems, whether it is to calculate the deflection of a beam or the stresses in a flat plate

  • The study aims to perform a single-domain heat conduction analysis for a robotic gripper pivot exposed to heated electronics using MATLAB and partial differential equations modeling (PDEs)

  • It is possible to extend the analysis by leveraging the programming environment. This model allows us to examine the responsive component under loading, vibration, or heat, and determine deformation stresses, among other things, so you can choose the appropriate material and even avoid failure or unwanted resonance. These systems are typically modeled using partial differential equations (PDEs) that capture the underlying physics of the problem and Finite element analysis (FEA) is just one of the most common methodologies to solve this type of equation

Summary

Introduction

There are a lot of different analytical methods that engineers can use to solve structural mechanics problems, whether it is to calculate the deflection of a beam or the stresses in a flat plate. The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that uses computational power to calculate approximate solutions to these types of problems [1] It is widely used in all major engineering industries. Finite element analysis software can be used to analyze a wide range of solid mechanics problems, including static, dynamic, buckling, and modal analyses. It can be used for fluid flow, heat transfer, and electromagnetic problems. There are several applications in the aerospace, automotive and energy industries, for example, that often require high fidelity modeling or problems involving structural mechanics, heat transfer, or electromagnetic.
