Modal Analysis of Arrow Shaped Shovel Based on ANSYS Workbench
In order to optimize the kinetic parameters of arrow shaped shovel, the paper carried on the modal analysis and the 3D graph was drawing by the application of Pro/E software. The finite element model was established by using ANSYS Workbench. After the constraint processing, the first six model shapes of the rack were obtained through the modal analysis of arrow shaped shovel. Based on the modal analysis, it can be found that the first six natural frequencies enlarge with the increase of the order, and the odd order of principal modes are horizontal hunting along shovel handle on both sides, the even orders are up and down perpendicular to horizontal direction. The maximum deformation of the first six model of the rack occurs at shovel head. The results present a theoretical reference for improving and optimizing the shovel.
