Finite Element Analysis on Inputting Cantilever of Bucket-Wheel Reclaimer Based on CATIA and ANSYS

Abstract:

In order to verify whether the inputting cantilever of bucket-wheel reclaimer will be cracked and plastic deformation, in this paper, with inputting cantilever of modeling and finite element analysis, 3D entity model of inputting cantilever is established by using CATIA software. With the transmitting data interface of ANSYS software, it imports the inputting cantilever model, which is established in the environment CATIA, into ANSYS software. Through the static analysis on the inputting cantilever by the finite element software ANSYS, we can get static deformation diagram and von stress distributing diagram. From the analysis results, we can find the weakest spot according to the displacement cloud chart, and find the stress most centralized spot according to the stress analysis cloud chart, then carry on the intensity examination to it, and make description and mark on the maximum deformation and the maximum stress spot, and put forward the improvement plan to improve the service life. This method is a efficient path for the design and intensity examination of inputting cantilever, and it provides theoretical basis for further optimization design.
