Hajdu, SándorKinyua, Lynn Wanjiku2024-06-202024-06-202024https://hdl.handle.net/2437/374029Finite element method and CAD are popular techniques that support and streamline a number of construction and simulation-related tasks. A scenario where these techniques are utilized, engineers and companies benefit from savings in terms of costs, time, and resources when this software is used. This thesis finite element approach has been utilized in design and analysis. A conveyor belt system is designed and a roller is analysed using the SolidEdge software. As the solid edge software is used for both the assembly and modeling process of the part, it is simpler to modify the model as it is being designed to match the intended size and to identify any compromises that may need to be made in order to obtain the most precise and optimum design. SolidEdge has a simple to use FEM program that facilitates analysis. It provides simulations with meshes ranging from coarse to fine, enabling accurate depiction of the forces operating on it. The simulation module makes it possible to perform analysis and prediction in order to identify the maximum projected stress that can be applied on the roller and put to use in the implementation. The roller displacement can also be observed upon implication of the force. In addition to, factor of safety of the roller can be determined once the analysis is done. The factor of safety is used to determine how much load the roller can withhold before it deforms.42enFEMSolidEdgeRollerconveyor beltEngineering SciencesHozzáférhető a 2022 decemberi felsőoktatási törvénymódosítás értelmében.
