Stress and Deformation Analysis For Caster Segment Based on ANSYS

摘要

The segment is an important part of the slab caster, the designing and manufacturing of segment directly impact the quality of slab. It is necessary to research and analysis the segment. This paper analyses stress and deformation of segment. Firstly, specify the characteristic of segment structure, legitimately simplify the structure, figure out the force of every bearing box. Secondly, develop the 3-D model with SolidWorks software, then import it into ANSYS software, with which we develop the FEM model. Lastly, analysis FEM stress and deformation of FEM model, so the maximum stress and deformation is obtained. The state of stress is safe, but the stiffness is kind of insufficient. It can be improved in the designing process.
