Research test of suspension structure reliability for 9000 kN self-walking transporter

A finite element model of the suspension structure of 9000 kN self-walking transporter was established, and the distribution of stress was simulated and calculated in order to determine the position of the dangerous point. Based on the actual working conditions and the results of FEM analysis, the reliability test of the suspension structure was done. The results of test are in good agreement with that of FEM simulation. The FEM model and reliability test provide good reference for the manufacture of the first 9000 kN self-walking transporter prototype and its mass production in the future.
