Mechanical Properties Analysis and Optimal Design of the Main Girder of Movable Scaffold System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to promote the ability of independent research of Movable Scaffold System (MSS for short), this article studied the mechanical characteristic and the structure optimization about the main girder of MSS from a company. The FEM model for the main girder was established by ANSYS to study its static mechanical properties. Considering the cross section is discrete in the real projects, the genetic algorithm (GA) is used based on MATLAB by calling ANSYS, which effectively reduce the structural weight by 8.5% and 9.6%, separately. The results of modal analysis indicate that the natural frequency of the main girder ranges from 4Hz~12Hz, which satisfy the need of crane design. The conclusion of this article and the optimization method of exploration research have certain reference significance for similar products.
