Static simulation to horse shoes alternative materials based basic polymeric foam reinforced fiberglass with ANSYS software

Abstract

In this journal, we used Finite Element Method (FEM) calculations based on ANSYS software. The software will involves the value of the material properties. Then, will used to simulate the manufacture of horse shoe, when the horse stood silent, for fiberglass reinforced polymer materials and compared with the usual materials for horse shoe, the Mild Carbon Steel (A36) so that will be obtained which is the best between the two materials. In this simulation work, the horse shoe receives a load of 500 kg. From this simulation we will obtain Equivalent Stress, Normal Stress on each axis (X, Y, Z) from the loading direction experienced by horse shoes. Equivalent equivalence values of 0.21509 MPa polymeric foam while Mild Carbon Steel (A36) 0.1034 MPa and normal polymeric foam voltage values for X-axis 0.016426, Y -0.007111 and Z 0.0695, while Normal Stress from Mild Carbon Steel (A36) for X axes 0.02233, Y 0.0204 and Z 0.047. The simulation results provide an understanding of the normal force resistance of polymeric foam materials for Mild Carbon Steel (A36) materials, whereas for polymeric foam materials the equivalent stress is superior to Mild Carbon Steel (A36)
