Figure 17
The illustration presents a top-down view of a finite element analysis (F E A) stress map for a mechanical part, likely a loaded assembly or support structure. The geometry features symmetric rectangular arrangements, with central square and rectangular cutouts and mounting holes. The stress distribution is color-coded: red zones dominate the outer and most of the interior, indicating higher stress, while the central region has significant blue, cyan, and yellow, marking lower stress concentrations. Central features concentrate stress, highlighted by the color contrast between blue and red. The vertical color scale bar on the right ranges from 0.5 times 10 to the 6th power (blue) at the bottom to 4 times 10 to the 6th power (red) at the top. Axes x, y, and z are labeled in the left corner of the image. The horizontal axis extending left is labeled x and ranges from 0 to 400 millimeters with an interval of 200 millimeters. The vertical (y) axis on the right ranges from 1.13 times 10 to the 4th power to 5.71 times 10 to the 8th power (Newtons per square meter). The z-axis from the top front to inside the plan ranges from 0 to 100 millimeters. Grid lines and axis ticks are visible at the top and the left sides.Von mises of the slotted composite sensor.
