Finite Element Analysis and Optimization Design of <i>ZY</i>5600-16-34 Hydraulic Support’s Shield Beam

Abstract

Taking the ZY5600-16-34 hydraulic support as the research object, using Pro/E software to build its shield beam’s three-dimensional model, and use ANSYS software to take finite element analysis on intensity of the shield beam. Then optimize its structure based on this. Through taking new finite element analysis on the new model, the results show that the optimization design is effective to increase the strength of shield beam's damageable parts, to provide a beneficial reference for the shield beam’s design.
