The Mechanical Property Comparison of Two Kinds of Counterweight Booms of Stacker Reclaimer

Abstract:

This paper used the finite element method to compare the mechanical properties of two different configuration counterweight booms of the bucket wheel stacker reclaimer. And two different forms of the finite element analysis model of the counterweight booms were built in ANSYS. The stresses and strains under its working state were calculated. Then the impact of the counterweight arm to the force and stability of the whole rack could be analyzed. The results of this analysis provided a basis to select different types of the counterweight booms in different environment, and it has an important guidance and reference significance to the design and analysis of counterweight booms of large-scale machinery.
