Static Analysis and Optimization Design of Crawler Chassis Frame of Forest Clearing Machine
Taking the self-designed forest clearing machine as the research target,the static analysis and optimization of its crawler chassis frame are carried out.Firstly,the main parameters required for the crawler chassis are designed and calculated.According to the calculation results,a three-dimensional model is initially established in Solidworks software.Then the static analysis of the crawler chassis frame is carried out by Ansys software.The results show that its strength meets the requirements of use,but the material properties are redundant.Therefore,the topology optimi-zation design is carried out.According to the optimization results,the three-dimensional model is re-established and the static analysis is carried out.The analysis results show that the performance of the optimized track chassis frame still meets the requirements of use,the redundancy of material performance is improved,and the weight of the track chassis is reduced,which provides a reference for the optimization design of similar mechanisms.
