Finite Element Analysis of Mobile Towers Made of Prefabricated Elements According to Standardization EN1004

Abstract:

Working aluminum towers is bound to meet the materials, dimensions, design load, safety and performance requirements of the standard EN 1004. Using the FEA(Finite element analysis) software ANSYS, the mechanical analysis of a 8m height tower made of prefabricated elements, according to standardization EN1004,is done in this paper. The geometric imperfection, Such as inclinations between vertical components the inclination position of 1% and the minor eccentricities of castor should be taken account into the finite element model.This template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready paper for Trans Tech Publications. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text.
