PT Journal AU Blatnicka, M Blatnicky, M Dizo, J Saga, M TI Comparison of Analytical Stress Analysis and Numerical Calculation of Mobile Work Machine Part SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2018 BP 190 EP 193 VL 18 IS 2 DI 10.21062/ujep/76.2018/a/1213-2489/MT/18/2/190 DE Numerical analysis; Hydraulic arm; Stress; Work machine AB The aim of the article is to verify dimensions of the hydraulic arm column (the necessary cross-sectional area) by analytical dimensional calculation and thus to design a lifting rotary arm which will be located on the pick-up car body (Figure 1). After the analysis of dimensions, the next step is creation of the structure in FEM program and then a numerical analysis will be carried out for verification of stress in the structure already with the values that are not available for the preliminary design (e.g. the structure weight). The next step in the solution will be to import the proposed and by strength calculations checked geometry into the multibody system program, where the dynamic response of the structure will be monitored, depending on the size of the load and the movement possibilities of this mechanism.
