Abstract

The objective of this work is to carry out numerical analyzes of solid elements related to structural carbon steel, both for medium strength steel (MS250) and for high strength steel (HS350); stainless steel 304 (SS) and the inconel 718 superalloy (SI). For this, a mathematical formulation based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) was computationally implemented, which used the FORTRAN programming language, whose purpose was to obtain the values ​​of stresses, deformations and nodal displacements of the steels and the alloy, taking into account that the materials present elastic-linear behavior. As for the stress analyses, the von Mises rupture criterion method was used. For the discretization of solid elements, 4-node tetrahedral (T4), 8-node hexahedral (H8) and 20-node hexahedral (H20) finite elements were used, with each node having three degrees of freedom. The Gauss-Legendre method (Gauss quadrature) was also used for the numerical resolution of the integrals. In order to verify and validate the responses obtained from the implemented computational program, comparisons were made with results found in the literature, and then numerical analyzes of the materials were carried out. This work intends to efficiently contribute to the calculation of stresses, strains and displacements in solids.
