FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS Chapter 4

2.4.- Condition of contour of the Dump Body

It is considered the Dump Body totally embedded in the four points; the two support points and the points where the lifting cylinders are located, like it is shown in the figure N°5.

FIGURE N° 5 Border conditions applied in the support points of the Dump Body.

 

3.- Obtained results

According to the carried out analysis, considering all the previously described variables, the following results were obtained:

Efforts and mechanical pressures on the lateral sides and their components

The efforts obtained on the laterals are quite low according to the acceptable effort of the material, this reaches a maximum value of 30Kg / mm2.

Efforts on the front and its components

The efforts obtained on the front are observed in the figure Nž7, it shows the maximum efforts ton the components of the front, is also under the acceptable value of effort resistance of the material, reaching a maximum value of 35 Kg / mm2.
