Independent Research Project

Phase 1:

1. Objective: To see the structural behavior of the JCB bucket when it will go under stresses and see the effects on the real working condition.
2. Plan calculation: We will see the total deformation, Equivalent Stress, Strain on the bucket when it goes under load
3. Significance of project: Observe the mechanical impact o ]n the bucket when undergoing to loading condition

Phase 2:

1. Objective and motivation of the project: Since this bucket is used in JCB which is used in many heavy load applications in industrial, construction etc. Bucket is the important part of the machine because it lifts the object and hold while operation such as placing, picking etc. So, it becomes important to see the sustainability of the bucket under various scenarios.
2. Geometry info: Taken reference geometry of the JCB machine bucket for project which is made up of SS material.
3. Physical model/ Boundary condition: a. Fix Support at the back:

b. Force on the base of the bucket (-9500 N):

4.Output Results:

a. Total deformation:

b. Equivalent Stress:

c. Equivalent Strain:

d. Stress Tool (Factor of safety)
