Evaluation of Deformation Behavior of a Structural Pipe Bracket Under Static Loading Using Finite-Element Analysis
Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive structural integrity assessment and comparative static response analysis of an industrial support bracket subjected to varying mechanical loading conditions using the finite element method (FEM). Industrial brackets are essential load-bearing components in mechanical and structural systems, where adequate stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability are critical for ensuring operational reliability and…
Design And Finite Element Analysis Of RCC And Timber-Composite RCC Columns with Seismic Effect
Abstract: This study presents the design and finite-element analysis (FEM) of three reinforced cement concrete (RCC) column configurations under seismic effect, with the objective of quantifying how a central Sal-timber core alters the structural performance of an otherwise conventional RCC column. All three columns are of identical external size (300 × 300 mm) and clear height…
Experimental Investigation on Shear & Flexural Behaviour of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Beam
Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) beams are among the most commonly used structural elements in civil engineeringstructures. However, the long-term durability of conventional steel reinforcement is often affected bycorrosion when exposed to aggressive environmental conditions, which can significantly reduce the servicelife and structural performance of concrete members. In recent years, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer(GFRP) bars have emerged…

Design, Development, and Testing of 2-Phase Separator
Abstract: As the pressure vessel operates under high internal pressure, the choice of material and accuracy indesign play a vital role in ensuring its safety and reliability. Proper design is essential because anyfailure in a pressure vessel can lead to serious hazards, financial losses, and operational shutdowns.In compliance with the ASME Code (Section VIII, Division 1)…
Design and Finite Element Analysis of Go-Kart Tubular Chassis Using Ansys
Abstract: The design of a go-kart chassis involves the vehicle’s performance, safety, and handling characteristics. The present work focuses on the conceptual design, modeling, and structural analysis of a go-kart chassis aimed at achieving an optimal balance between strength, weight, and driver comfort using FEA software ANSYS. A detailed chassis model was developed based on ergonomic…
