Use of the Finite Element Method in the Prediction of Stresses and Strains in Roller Press Frames

Abstract

In the article the design solutions for the roller presses have been characterized. On this basis, several roller press models were selected, their CAD models were prepared and then the loads have been put on the roller press frames and other components of the presses. The results of a stress and strain analyses have been done using the finite element method. A comparison of individual solutions are presented. On the basis of the analysis performed, the construction of the considered object are rated and solutions aimed at improving the existing solutions are presented.
