Modal Analysis of Excavator Boom Based on UG and ANSYS

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hydraulic excavator is due to the effects of vibration and shock may cause structural damage, and in view of this, we need to study its dynamic characteristics, so as to avoid or reduce this impact on when the machine is running. In this paper, using UG as modeling tool we built a small hydraulic excavator boom’s 3-D simulation model and under UG’s advanced simulation environment we called ANSYS as solver and after modal analysis of the boom, we extracted the first 15 modals and vibration modes, which provides the basis as do dynamic optimization excavator boom design.
