In the process of rack customization, accurately using the principles of engineering mechanics to analyze and calculate the stress of the frame is a key step to ensure the quality and performance of the rack.
First, rack customization needs to classify and determine the various loads that the rack may bear. Common loads include static loads formed by the deadweight of the equipment, which are evenly distributed or concentrated on specific parts of the rack. For example, when large mechanical equipment is installed on the rack, the static pressure generated by its weight needs to be considered. In addition, there are dynamic loads, such as vibration and impact force generated when the equipment is running, and external forces caused by environmental factors (such as wind load, seismic force, etc.). For these different types of loads, their size, direction and point of action must be clarified.
Next, rack customization uses the principles of statics for preliminary analysis. According to the force balance condition, that is, the resultant force and the resultant moment are zero, the internal forces of each component of the rack under the action of static load are calculated. For example, for a simple frame structure, the axial force, shear force and bending moment of beams, columns and other components can be analyzed by the node method or section method. During the calculation process, the influence of the rack's geometry, size, and connection method on the transmission and distribution of force should be fully considered.
The analysis of dynamic loads in rack customization is more complicated. Taking vibration loads as an example, it is necessary to use dynamics knowledge to establish a vibration model of the rack. Considering the mass distribution, stiffness characteristics, and damping factors of the rack, solve its vibration equation, determine the displacement, velocity, and acceleration response during the vibration process, and then obtain the dynamic stress distribution. For impact loads, the impact dynamics theory can be used, such as estimating the impact force based on the impulse theorem, and then analyzing its stress condition in combination with the dynamic response of the structure.
In actual calculations, rack customization often uses computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, such as finite element analysis (FEA) tools. By discretizing the rack model into a finite number of units, mechanical analysis is performed on each unit, and the stress state of the overall structure is solved based on the connection relationship between the units. This method can handle complex geometric shapes and multiple load conditions, and obtain more accurate stress and strain distribution results.
Rack customization analyzes and calculates the stress conditions of the rack frame by rigorously applying the principles of engineering mechanics. It can provide a scientific basis for the design of the rack, determine the reasonable structural dimensions and material strength grade, and optimize the structural layout, thereby ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the rack under various working conditions and meeting customized engineering needs.
