Parametric simulation analysis and reliability of escalator truss

Abstract

Escalators are now more and more widely used around the world. As escalator accidents occur from time to time, it is very important to analyze the structure and reliability of escalators. This paper studies the structure and reliability analysis methods of typical escalators. By applying parametric analysis methods, the efficiency and accuracy of escalator structure analysis are greatly improved. Because the failure of each structural member of the escalator truss system is dependent, this paper applies the dependent failure reliability modeling method and analyzes the reliability of the escalator truss system. The results show that the reliability analysis method of the truss system after considering the dependent failure is more reasonable. The above research work has certain reference significance for the design and analysis of escalators.
