Engineering Analysis Simulated an EJ under compression and tension in ANSYS Workbench Displacement of ±1 inch Used to determine where stress concentrations will be Helps to determine sensor placement
Compression
Tension
Engineering Analysis Avoid areas in the middle of EJ and areas right below or above flanges Embed sensors in between these areas Minimize risk of EJ leaking after sensors are embedded
Engineering Analysis-Insert
Temperature Isolation of Pressure sensor May not be able to find a pressure sensor that can withstand the temperature EJ does Can use a tube protruding from EJ to dissipate heat A stainless steel tube would need to extend at least 6 in out for our applications
