Challenge:
The bag-filter assembly casing stiffeners faced localized high-stress areas, potentially leading to structural inadequacies. Certain members showed elevated stress levels, raising concerns about plastic strain under more demanding conditions.
Solution:
Elastic material analysis identified high-stress regions, attributed primarily to numerical errors (stress singularities). For members with consistent elevated stresses, proposed modifications included increasing stiffener thickness and reinforcing plate ‘A’ with additional designs.
Benefits:
The analysis confirmed that most stiffeners performed satisfactorily under standard conditions, with the proposed modifications addressing areas of concern. These changes enhance the structural robustness and longevity of the bag-filter assembly.
