Analysis of the Strength and Reliability of Hydraulic Support with Finite Element Method

Hydraulic support is one of the most important equipments of coal mine exploration， this thesis is to analyse hydraulic support strength and reliability with finite element method. With the example of ZF8000/22/35 hydraulic support, this paper uses the HyperWorks finite element software to analyse the strength of the hydraulic support, and then, with the ANSYS, this paper calculates the reliability of the hydraulic support and figures out the sensitivity of the hydraulic support. Finally, some methods of reliability analysis with finite element method are summarized,these methods can give reference to the design of hydraulic support.
