[Stress analysis of separators with different specifications].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the shape and structure of different separators affecting the mechanical behavior. METHODS: The stress of different separators was analyzed by ANSYS software. Various separators were meshed into one-dimensional solid elements and the material character parameters were inputted. The loads were added gradually. RESULTS: The stress was related to the arm of force and the point of force application. CONCLUSIONS: The force applied can be controlled by selecting different separators.
