Finite Element Analysis of Structural Strength of Concrete Mixing Truck’s Frame

Hai Sun, Hua Kai Wei, Xiao Fang Zhao, Jia Rui Qi

Abstract

The finite element model of the concrete mixing truck’s frame is builded by using shell as basic element, and the process of building the finite element model of the balance suspension is introduced in detail. Based on this, frame’s stress on five types of typical operating conditions are calculated by using the finite element analysis software, NASTRAN, and results can show the dangerous position and the maximum stress position on the frame. The analysis result on structural strength can provide the basis for further improving the frame structure.
