Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the shape and structure of different separators affecting the mechanical behavior.
METHODSThe stress of different separators was analyzed by ANSYS software. Various separators were meshed into one-dimensional solid elements and the material character parameters were inputted. The loads were added gradually.
RESULTSThe stress was related to the arm of force and the point of force application.
CONCLUSIONSThe force applied can be controlled by selecting different separators.
