The Lightweight Design and Simulation of Hydraulic Steel Gate with Metal Sandwich Construction

Abstract:

The paper applies composite technology into the field of hydraulic metal structures and hydropower construction mechanical equipment design, and presents the method of optimum design of hydraulic steel gate metal sandwich construction and simulation analysis. According to characteristics of the structure of the flat hydraulic steel gate and selecting the appropriate metal sandwich construction, this paper optimize the design of a hydraulic steel gate of metal sandwich construction from the perspective of light-weight purpose of structure. Considering the overall mechanical behavior of steel gate structures and using technology of three-dimensional modeling and numerical simulation, this paper has a numerical simulation analysis on the optimum hydraulic steel gate. Numerical simulation analysis and theoretical calculation results show the optimum structure of hydraulic steel gate is reasonably practicable.
