Abstract: Stress is plays an important role in a structural safety of the component and integral assemblies. Structural analysis comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to study and predict the behavior of structures. In the present work, Drop test analysis on a pen-drive with different materials is carried out using ANSYS, to evaluate the structural safety of component, when pen-drive is falling on ground with random velocity. Developing CAD model, meshing and results are analyzed by using ANSYS. Dimensions of pen-drive are considered with respect to industrial standards. Material properties are selected as per the ASTM standard (A36). This work comes under two categories. Initially carbon steel is used for the drop test analysis. Later carbon steel is replaced by kinematic inelastic material (Plastic material) to find the structural safety of component under drop test boundary

Keywords: Pendrive model, Steel and kinematic bilinear materials , structural safety, and ANSYS.
