Simulation Using Finite Element Analysis in the Optimization of Inflatable Bedpan Wall Thickness

Abstract:

The inflatable bedpan is designed to provide comfortable, convenient, safe, hygienic, efficient and easy to use to the patients and their caretakers. In order to investigate the suitability thickness of inflatable bedpan for the pressure inflow in bedpan tube, the analysis is done using Catia analysis. The static analysis work is carried out to inflatable bedpan cross section of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and their relative performances have been observed respectively. The thickness 0.5 mm shows the highest Von Mises Stress which is 21100 kPa compared to 0.8and 1.0 mm thicknesses. The lowest Von Mises Stress observed at thickness 1.0 mm which is 2990 kPa. The less stress obtained can encourage perfect shape of the design. In this paper, by observing the result of static structure analysis obtained, 1 mm is suggested as best thickness to be used as an inflatable bedpan wall because it can withstand more pressure while maintaining its stability.
