THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF BOSS CHAIR FOOTREST AND IT’S STUDYING ABOUT MECHANICAL PROPERTY

Abstract

According to customers’ needs,Based on ergonomics principle,a Boss Chair footrest was designed. Using Adams software to take kinematics simulation,which has verified the movement characteristics of the organization. Based on finite element analysis AWE environment on the organization,To check the strength and stiffness of the structure. On the basis of the physical prototype,to take mechanical properties test. It turned out that the footrest meet requirements of ergonomics size and movement stability,static strength,fatigue strength and stiffness of the structure conform to the BIFMA test standard. The testing results coincided with the finite element analysis.
