FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS Chapter 2

2.- GENERAL CONDITIONS

The considerations took for the calculations are the followings:

 

 

2.1.- Material

It considers different kinds of material for the Dump Body construction, with the following properties:

FIGURE N° 1 :
Description of Dump Body for Study.

 

2.2.- About the Design

For the design analysis it is considered the theory of Energy of Maximum Deformation, which' anticipates that the flaw caused by the fluency happens when the energy of total deformation' in a unitary volume equals or it exceeds the value of the energy of deformation of the same' volume corresponding to the fluency resistance in tension or compression. Where it can be' defined the equation of Von Mises for the calculation desing.

In consequence, it is foreseen that it will happen fluency when

2.3.- About the Load

They were considered diverse conditions of loads according to the solicitations in the different points of the dump body.

OWN WEIGHT

It is determined taking the reference of gravity acceleration and the weight density of the utilized materials.
