PROJECT
Drop test of a plastic container.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the analysis is to find out the stresses developed during a 1 m drop. This drop is to check for both horizontal and inclined drop.
INPUT
Material Model (Piecewise Linear plasticity)
Young's Modulus (E)= 2000Mpa
Poisson's ratio = 0.4
Density (rho) = 1.11e-06 kg/mm^3
True Sress vs. True strain relationship used:
MODEL 
RESULT
The container initial design was failing as the stresses developed was well beyond the yield. Design changes, like thickness and fillet radius was changed and analyses to check the reduction in stresses.
