ABSTRACT: In this study, static structural analysis of backhoe-loader arms has
been performed with the finite element method (FEM). The aim of this study is
to simulate and strengthen the back and front arms of the backhoe-loader
concerning with stress under maximum loading condition and different boundary
conditions. According to analysis result, back and front
arms of the backhoe-loader are strengthened with the use of reinforcements. As
a result of the study, strength of the arms has been increased by nearly
20%.
