APPENDIX A- Pictures of Developed Planter
In following come pictures of the developed planter.

Decreasing the mesh size in the singular area, will increase the maximum stress. But the real maximum stress can be read from two or three elements away from the singular point and the real maximum stress remains almost the same for all the mesh sizes. To check for this, different stress analyses using different mesh sizes were performed on all the parts for the developed planter. The analyses performed for disc holder are presented here for comparison. For all of these meshing methods, an element size was set for the whole body. Besides, mesh refinement was performed around the point that stress concentration happens, utilizing sphere of influence. ANSYS Workbench refines the size of the elements inside the specified circle to the specified size. (Figure B-1) Figure B- 1- Sphere of influence tool in ANSYS Workbench for mesh refinement 139 Table A-1 lists different mesh sizes and total number of nodes that were used for different analyzes. The Maximum real stress also is shown in this table for comparison. Figures A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5 and A-6 show the corresponding mesh formation shapes and stress contours for the mesh sizes depicted in table A-1. The license available for the software did not allow going over 32000 nodes for the model. It can be observed from table A-1 and the figures that the real maximum stress remains almost the same for all different meshing methods.
