Abstract

Solving optimization problems from the standpoint of structural stresses and strains can be carried out scientifically on the example of telescopic jib. It is mainly due to the fact that despite a broad spectrum of the telescopic jib utilization there are no generally valid, scientifically proven and presented theoretical principles for their designing. From the viewpoint of the classification of mechanics, the arm of telescopic jib as a subject of study can be ranked among thin-walled constructions. In fact, it is a case of enclosed thin-walled bars stressed in operation by a combination of bending and torsion moments. Applying the Finite Element Method (FEM) in connection with the CAE system ANSYS, it is possible to design an optimum shape of the cross-section of the telescopic jib arm. Comparing the calculated values of stresses and deformations with the values obtained by experimental measuring, it is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the optimization process.
