Modeling and strength analysis of the prototype of the multi-tasking car trailer

Abstract

The subject of the paper is modeling and strength analysis of the prototype of the multi-tasking car trailer. The innovativeness of the solutions applied consists in the combination of several single-purpose trailers into one, allowing for multitasking and the combination of several specialized trailers. Using the author's solution, the prototype of a multi-purpose trailer has been developed, which has the characteristics of several specialized trailers, such as for the transportation of general cargo, kayaks, motorcycles, quads etc. The model has been created by using SolidWorks package and it has been used for full strength analysis by simulation module. The sample analysis results cover various load configurations with respect to selected trailer construction components.
