Performance Evaluation and Prediction of Escalator Structure Using FEM-Based Analysis

Abstract:

The paper applied Finite Element Method (FEM) to study performance of escalator structure. A case study is given to demonstrate the method of the FEM. To validate the results of FEM, some experiments were conducted. The results show that all the test samples meet the requirements of the truss, and the experimental results verify the numerical calculation results.
