BCE Container Services b.v. - project Spaarnelanden

Project Corus

Project Corus is a project realized by company Translast IJmond. BCE Container Services B.V. in collaboration with Corus and Translast has designed, drawn and calculated 20 FT 19 frames for trailers for the transport of tools on the Corus site.

trailers with frames in need of stuffed form

Stress Calculation Report of the
BCE Container services B.V. Frame A

Loading of the frame A

The frame is subjected to the gravity of the tool A which is equal 24 000 kg. So the
loading force is: F= 24 000 . 9,81 = 235,44 kN. The force has been applied on the red faces as
shown bellow. Also gravity of the frame has been taken into account.

Results and evaluation

Frame A displacement
The maximum displacement of the frame (0,077 mm) is located in the point marked by sign MX, see figure bellow.

Units millimeters

Distribution of HMH stress

The distribution of HMH stress is shown in the figures bellow. The maximum stress is
equal 76,1 MPa.

Evaluation

The highest displacement is equal 0,077 mm. The highest HMH stress is equal 76,1 MPa. So the safety factor is n = σY / σHMH max = 250 / 76,1 = 3,2.
Several simplifying assumption has been taken into account, see the chapter Assumptions.
