I checked for the analysis again
The assumed weight I think is much higher (2500 kg)
In the Technical Manuel the gear box weight is 1117 kg
So I will assumed 1400 kg (The whole weight of the container + Support + Gear Box = 1400 kg per to TM)
So, The results are:
Factor of Safety =...
Guys you are all right
I don't know why I divide the weight over max. stress [ponder]
I saw a solved example from engineering design book and the weight was the same value as the yield stress, so I took it and it was totally OFF [dazed]
and part of me was not sure about it and that's why I...
Thank you for replying
No I'm not student, I'm mechanical engineer who is working as quality assurance for period of time, so I may forget some information about mechanical design :)
FOS is Factor of Safety
I'll try gravitational acceleration and post the result today
And where I can find...
Hello guys,
I want to calculate the safety factor on container support design of gear box and I need your tips
The actual mass = 1600 kg
I assumed the mass to be = 2500 kg
= 2500 X 9.8 = 24500 N
The material is Steel A36 (Structure Steel)
So, I choose static...
