Select the Total option, the Total Deformation item will
pop-up beneath the Solution item. Right click at the Total
Deformation item and select Evaluate All Results, the
solution in form of color fringe plot will appear as shown in
the figure.
 Click the Solution item, the Stress tab will appear on the
lower menu bar. Click on this Stress tab and Select the
Equivalent (von-Mises) option, the Equivalent Stress
item will pop-up beneath the Solution item. Right click at
the Equivalent Stress item and select Evaluate All
Results, the solution in form of color fringe plot will appear
as shown in the figure.

6.4 Application

6.4.1 Stress in Aircraft Structural Component
A structural component in an aircraft wing is made
from aluminum material that has the Young’s modulus of

710 N m and Poisson’s ratio of 0.3. The component is held
by internal screws at the two holes on the left portion of the figure.
The component is subjected to an offset loading of 100 N at the
other end. Since the ANSYS files of this problem can be
downloaded from the book website, users can study the model in
