Application of Finite Element Analysis for Structural Stability Evaluation of Modern and Contemporary Sculptures: ‘Eve 58-1’ by Man Lin Choi

Abstract

‘Eve 58-1’, the subject of this study is a statue made of plaster and its structural stability was evaluated by utilizing the CAE program in order to prevent the risk of damage arising from impact and vibration that are generated during the packaging and transportation process given its material characteristics. CAE is an abbreviation for Computer Applied Engineering for realization by predicting changes at the time of application of virtual physical energy. It is applied by reflecting the physical property conditions and each boundary condition of plaster, and the digital images of the internal and external structure of the work were acquired through 3D scanning and CT analysis for interpretation by executing finite element modeling. When acceleration is applied to the work in the direction of its own weight, the left-right side and the front-rear side, it was possible to confirm a maximum displacement value of 15.24 mm in the head section of the front-rear side direction that has been tilted by approximately 27° from the Y-axis and the largest stress value of 12.46 MPa was at the left ankle section. The corresponding results confirmed that the left ankle section is the most vulnerable area and the section for which precautions need to be exercised and supplemented at the time of transporting the work by means of objective values.

Control del mallado con FEM para caracterizar una junta mecánica en aplicaciones de investigación y prototipaje

“…Utilizar aplicaciones tangibles como parte de los casos de estudio, tiene un acercamiento, virtual, por lo que se ha encontrado un área de oportunidad en las simulaciones con FEM [18], fortaleciendo los conceptos experimentales para ofrecer alternativas de solución al problema que se presente en los requerimientos de los modelos de prueba, manteniendo la cercanía con las aplicaciones de la ingeniería [19].…”
