Numerical analysis of the influence iron type on Von Mises Stress and safety parameters for compost processing machine frame construction

Abstract

Abstract The installation of other engine parts, such as the engine, transmission, shaft, blade, and cover, includes the engine frame. The engine frame must be developed and constructed with the strength to support other components. The building of the waste processing machine frame with variants of square tube type and angle bar type will be analyzed in this study, with a focus on the analysis of von Mises’s stress and safety aspects. Using Solidworks software, finite element analysis is the research methodology used. The examination of the waste processing machine’s frame modelling using square tubes and angular bars yielded maximum von Mises stress values of 3.77e+7 N/m2 and 3.162e+4 N/m2, respectively. The maximum deformation values for the square tube iron and angular bar used in the modelling analysis of the waste processing machine frame are 2,499e+1mm and 9,725e+1mm, respectively . and 8.5 and 1 is the required minimum safety factor value for modelling the frame of a waste processing machine made of square tube iron. The safety factor value of 2-3 is the primary criterion for a suitable design. It is safe and advised to utilize the waste processing machine frame made of square tube iron for this purpose.
