RESEARCHES ON THE BUCKLING TEST OF A TRIPOD COMPONENTS USED IN EMERGENCIES

Cristian VILAU, Dorin MOLDAN, Nicolae BALC, Dan LEORDEAN

Abstract


The tripod used for emergencies has been analyzed in different positioning cases of  its legs to its symmetry axis (the symmetry axis being the support of the buckling force), simulating different accidentally scenarios within the rescue interventions. Each case has been three times analyzed, to each analyze being related one type of material(Al2014, Al6082 and carbon fiber); the analysis have been performed by the help of finite element analysis, using ANSYS software.

Key words: Buckling, FEM, ANSYS, tripod
