Stability Analysis of Self-propelled Aerial Man Lift Vehicles
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of our research work is to perform the stability analysis of the aerial man lift vehicle. The stability analysis is performed using equilibrium force analysis and center of gravity analysis. A safe working load taking into account of drag forces on the bucket side-stream wind is established for six configurations depend up the AMLV traversing up or down over a flat or 10 degrees slope surface with its boom at rest or raised up at 65 degrees inclination angle. A standard square cross-section as well as tapered cross-section is also designed for the boom. For the considered designs, the calculated safe loads have been verified using stability pyramid and proved acceptable.
