Finite element analysis of mechanical response of a bed side rail

Abstract

According to non-existence of mechanical material properties for selected combination of materials it is appropriate to give a notice, that suggested solution should be examined in test-room of furniture by related norms. The suggested verification was finally realized on furniture test-room by Departure of Furniture, Design and habitation and approved availability of suggested numerical solution for defined tasks. If we take into account large amount of variants, which were modelled by this method (and which are not mentioned in this project) without requirements of experimental testing for each suggestion it is appropriate to remind the significant financial saving, due to realized numerical simulations which allowed to find efficient solution and which may not be attainable by experimental way (mainly with regard to financial severity).
