A UNIFIED MACHINE FOR TECHNOLOGICAL ELECTRIC TRANSPORT LADDER-BACKBONE LOAD-BEARING SYSTEM

Abstract

Frequently in a process of developing new specialized models of wheeled vehicles, the task of integrating a multitude of design criteria for parts, assemblies and mechanisms arises. Using a comparative analysis of various design solutions allows to determine the most optimal options for their design. The authors compare two possible layout drawings of the UMTET load-bearing frame: a simple ladder frame and a combined ladder-backbone load-bearing system. Based on the presented design and layout and weight characteristics, as well as the results of the estimated numerical strength analysis, it is concluded that there are certain advantages of using a combined ladder-backbone frame for the UMTET design.
