The Reliability Study of the Single Hydraulic Prop Based on Finite Element Analysis

In allusion to the reliability, which exists in the parametric design and optimizing process of the single hydraulic prop, this paper presents the new method in comparison with the traditional calculating and checking method for the reliability. The geometry model of the hydraulic prop is built firstly based on the 3D software, then analyzed and optimized by the finite element software - ANSYS. Results show that the method presented for the reliability is efficient and accurate.
