Design analysis of a slag pot transfer car

Abstract

This thesis aims to development and performance analysis of the main frame with cost and material optimization, using materials E250BR with high strength. This abstract presents a novel approach to the design of the frame for slag pot transfer cars, aimed at enhancing efficiency, durability, and safety in industrial operations. The proposed design integrates advanced materials, structural optimization techniques, and innovative features to address the challenges faced in conventional design.The new frame design incorporates lightweight yet high-strength materials, such as advanced alloys or composites, to reduce the overall weight of the transfer car without compromising structural integrity. This not only improves energy efficiency but also allows for increased payload capacity and operational flexibility. Structural optimization techniques, including finite element analysis (FEA) are employed to optimize the distribution of material within the frame, resulting in an optimized design that minimizes stress concentrations and maximizes load-bearing capacity. This ensures robust performance under varying operating conditions and extends the service life of the transfer car. In addition to structural improvements, the new frame design integrates advanced safety features such as collision detection systems, emergency braking mechanisms, and real-time monitoring capabilities. These features enhance workplace safety and reduce the risk of accidents, contributing to a safer working environment. Overall, the proposed design offers significant advancements over traditional frame designs for slag pot transfer cars, promising improved efficiency, durability, and safety in industrial material handling operations. Future work will focus on prototype development and validation through rigorous testing and real-world deployment. For the Analysis of whole frame in NX 2212 advance simulation version is used to perform this analysis and Solid Edge software is used for design and 3D modelling the frame. And AutoCad is used for 2 D drawing and making geometry of components.
