Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Learning the strength materials is sometimes thought to be difficult because of the difficulty in observation of actual small-scale deformation of realistic mechanical parts. Using CAE software including FEA may be helpful because these software systems can display exaggerated deformation and visualize stress distributions. Widely employed CAE software, however, are usually expensive to introduce, and thus these are not reasonably employed for personal study or small business operations. In this study, educational materials for the strength of materials using open source CAE which can be introduced free-of-charge have been developed. The analytical examples include bending of elastic beam and other linear elastic problems included in standard text books for under graduate education, and thermal fatigue problem, which is important in practical mechanical design.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果により,従来,富裕国の大企業に限定されていたCAEの利用が,中小企業や発展途上国にも開かれ,技術のアクセス性に関する格差軽減に寄与すると期待される。個人レベルでの利用が進むことで,公衆安全にかかわる部分を含む技術知見の透明性が強化される。生涯学習に役立てられることから高齢化社会での熟練技術者の活用や,在宅での取り組みによるはたらき方の見直しにもつながる。
