Abstract

Ensuring handrails structural integrity and safety in industrial hopper systems is crucial for worker protection and operational efficiency. This study investigates handrail systems design, stress analysis, and safety factors using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) via SolidWorks. Observations of existing systems revealed deficiencies such as improper welding techniques and unstable mounting, which were addressed through an improved modular handrail design that incorporated standardized dimensions, full-welded joints, and clamped baseplates. The methodology included a comprehensive simulation of the static loads, stress distributions, and deformation patterns validated through physical load testing. Results demonstrated significant improvements, with a reduction in the maximum stress by 25% and deformation by 40%, yielding a safety factor of 1.85. The findings confirm compliance with the industrial safety standards and highlight the robustness of the proposed design. This research contributes to advancing workplace safety through a replicable framework that combines simulation and empirical validation, offering broader applicability to safety-critical industrial components.

Abstract

This study utilizes SolidWorks software to thoroughly examine the structural layout and static load simulation of a temporary platform and ladder in an adsorbent chamber. SolidWorks, a computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, offers robust tools for 3D modeling, simulation, and analysis, making it ideal for this type of structural assessment. Finite element analysis (FEA), a simulation model within SolidWorks, is employed to determine stress distribution and safety factors. The results demonstrate the platform's maximum stress at 198.65 MPa, below the yield strength of ASTM A36 Steel, leading to a safety factor of 1.3. These findings validate the design's safety and reliability for industrial use.
