Abstract
This paper presents the evaluation of residual stresses and stresses induced by external loads in a water drinker by numerical and experimental methods. The part, used in animal husbandry, is made of grey cast iron (EN GJL 200). Numerical simulations were based on the finite element method, using ANSYS Workbench software to determine the stresses produced by external loads and finite volume method, using NovaFlow software, to determine residual stresses. The results obtained by numerical methods, were validated by experimental methods. Applied experimental methods consist of electrical resistive strain gauge technique to determine the state of stress in various loading conditions and the blind hole method to determine residual stresses, respectively.
