Abstract

In this work, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Squat Rack is presented for the Mild steel (AISI 1045) and Stainless steel (AISI 304) materials. The frame, top bar and J Hook of squat rack are modelled and analysed in ANSYS environment. At first, the static analysis is carried out for predicting the nodal displacements and stresses. Afterwards, the modal Analysis of the developed FE model is carried out and five mode shapes are obtained at five different natural frequencies. For both the analyses, a beam 188 element is selected. The results of static and modal analysis were plotted for the selected materials. By comparison of all the results, it is inferred that the AISI 304 stainless steel produced minimal displacements and stress values. Finally, it is observed that the performance of FE models and their solutions are accurate and robust.
