Numerical Analysis of the Aluminium Alloy Structure of the Brackets based on Conceptualization Processes

In this study, three conceptual designs of bracket constructions made of aluminum alloy underwent numerical investigation. To analyze the von Mises stresses present throughout the entire structure, the Ansys program was employed in conjunction with the static structure tool. The selection criteria are determined by two primary elements. The first element is the performance of the design, represented by normal stresses and deformation resulting from the applied load. The second criterion is volume, dependent on the volume itself, represented by a certain density of metals. To select an appropriate design for the aluminum brackets, the procedure was carried out utilizing the Analytic Network Process (ANP) technique. Through the conceptualizing approach, it has been demonstrated that the second design is superior to the alternative.
