STRUCTURAL STATIC ANALYSIS OF THE CURVED STILT BY FEM USING THE ELCUT PROGRAM

Abstract

The paper presents a study of the distribution of stresses and strains in the curved stilt of the plough-body, using the ELCUT analysis program by the finite element method. In its public version, the program allows the static structural analysis in three stages of precision. However, there are some limitations on the number of nodes for the discretized structure, depending on its complexity (250 to 500 nodes).
