Numerical Analysis of Steel Elevator Car Frame: Sensitivity to Element Connections

Article Preview

Abstract:

This is a preliminary study to assess the mechanical behavior of an elevator car frame made of steel components, through dynamic identification. Final element models considering different restraint conditions on element nodes are taken into account to evaluate how the whole performance of the structure is affected by local connections.
