A Study on the Structure Analysis of Skate for Transportation Using Composite Materials

Abstract:

As society became more complex, the logistics also increased, demanding for logistics transport vehicles and feeder has increased. Because the self-weight of skate for cargo transport used in this study is heavy, it needs to be weight lightening. However there is a lack of capital and technology not to improve lasting. We conducted FEM studies about weight lightening applying composites on cargo transport skate and the stiffness can be obtained at the same time. However, due to the presence of discontinuities such as holes in the parts. If you are applying composite, Because this causes the degradation of the strength of the material under static and fatigue load induced stress concentration in parts. In order to examine the safety of the cargo transport skate, you must consider the impact of the static strength damage on the stress concentration because of the discontinuous parts. In this study, therefore, the cargo skate was performed to evaluate the structural analysis through the FEM analysis. As a result, it was found that CFRP compared to existing SM45C is superior 25% when considering the characteristics. It indicated the best results in about 30% of the weight lightening.
