Displacement (vector-sum) distribution(3mm):

Von-mises Stress Distribution(3mm):

21 | P a g e
Spanner Thickness 5mm:
Displacement (vector-sum) distribution(5mm):

Von-mises Stress Distribution(5mm):

22 | P a g e
Maximum Von-mises Stress:

Spanner Thickness:3mm

Spanner Thickness:5mm

Conclusion:
Spanner Displacement Von-mises
Thickness: Vector-sum Stress
Min. Max Min. Max.
3mm 0 0.002916 0.3e-3 1.037
5mm 0 0.001749 0.2e-3 0.622

Increasing Spanner Thickness Maximum Von-mises stress induced

in spanner reduced.
Displacement vector-sum value reduce from thickness of spanner
increases.
 For Same Loading condition area of cross-section to resist the
load increases regarding stress value decreases.
