Refine Gun Tube LS-DYNA Simulation and Report

Job ID: 39976065

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

Project Title: LS-DYNA Simulation & LaTeX Report – Gun Tube Pressure (FEA Student Project)

* Project Description

I already have an LS-DYNA simulation model of a gun tube (bouche à feu) that needs some final adjustments, reruns, and a short report in LaTeX.
All basic setup (geometry, materials, boundary conditions) is already done — I just need a freelancer to help complete the analysis and write a short technical report based on provided instructions (PDF/photos attached).

This is a student project (TP2 – Calcul bouche à feu), so the budget is limited.
I’m mainly looking for accurate, fast, and affordable help — perfect for LS-DYNA students, interns, or simulation engineers who want quick extra work.

* Tasks to Complete

Simulation updates in LS-DYNA

Change and rerun simulations with mesh sizes: 2 mm, 1 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.25 mm

Perform mesh influence study (compare computation time, internal energy, and relative error)

Check energy conservation (using GLSTAT and ASCII outputs)

Evaluate plastic strain and stress–strain curves for internal surface elements

Determine tube strength using both Von Mises and Saint-Venant criteria

Conduct parametric study by changing wall thickness (3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm) with applied pressure up to 350 MPa

Post-processing

Extract plots using excel :

Internal energy vs. time

Stress–strain curve

Plastic strain curve

Maximum deformation vs. thickness

Provide plots in excel

Report writing (LaTeX)

Write a short report (5–10 pages) in LaTeX

Include: setup description, results, discussion, and conclusions

Provide both .tex and PDF files

* Technical Details

Software: LS-DYNA (explicit)

Material: Steel 4140 (MAT_003 – Plastic Kinematic)

Parameters:

ρ = 7.8334E-6 kg/mm³

E = 200 GPa, ν = 0.29

σᵧ = 0.9 GPa, ETAN = 0.5 GPa

Pressure: 300 MPa → 350 MPa (parametric)

Duration: 2 ms

* Deliverables

LS-DYNA input decks (.k or .dyn) for all cases

Post-processing plots (.png/.csv)

LaTeX report (.tex + .pdf)

Short summary/explanation of results

* Budget

* Small student budget – please propose your best low fixed price.
This is ideal for engineering students, LS-DYNA learners, or freelancers looking to build portfolio work.

* Deadline

5–7 days max (earlier is even better)

*Skills Required

LS-DYNA / FEA Simulation

Mechanical or Structural Engineering

LaTeX report writing

LS-PrePost or data plotting (Python/Matlab optional)
