Efforts on the visor and its components

The efforts obtained on the visor are observed in the figure N°8, it shows the maximum efforts on the components of the visor, this value is also under the acceptable value of effort resistance of the material, reaching a maximum value of 8 Kg / mm2.

Efforts on the floor and its main components

In the figure N°9, it is shown the efforts on the inside floor, indicating that it doesn't suffer bigger efforts caused by the load of the mineral, being its maximum value in the interior part of the floor 20 Kg / mm2.

the interior part of the Dump Body floor.

FIGURE N° 11 Zoom of the rear area of the main supports.

In the figure N°10, the floor is shown looked from the bottom part, where can be observed the efforts on the beams, traverse, the central longitudinal beam, the main supports and the supports of the lifting cylinders . The biggest efforts are located in the front part of the lifting cylinders and on the back part of the main supports, this is due to the deformation that is generated with the weight of the Dump Body and the load. This effort doesn't surpass the 110 Kg / mm2 of effort according to the approach of Von Mises, but it possesses a very small factor of security.

 

In the figure N°11, a Zoom is shown from the back area of the main supports, being observed an effort of 60 Kg /mm2, with colored red as effort maximum.
