Finite Element Analysis of Safety Pin in Snowplow Equipment

Abstract

Snow plow equipment is produced with chassis connections suitable for trucks, pickup trucks, tractors, construction machines and pick-ups and mounted in front of the vehicles. In this study, the stress and deflection values of the safety pin used in snow plow equipment will be examined by testing with finite element analysis. In this study, a damaged safety pin was analyzed numerically. The damaged safety pin was modeled with Solidworks package program and stress analysis was performed by ANSYS Workbench package program. In this analysis, the properties of the safety pin made of St37 steel were used. As a result , it was observed that the safety pin was damaged due to the stress distribution.
