Improvement of backhoe-loader back and front arms

This study aims to analyze back and front arms of Backhoe-Loader and improve them with respect to analysis results. Firstly, reaction forces of arm joints calculated according to maximum piston forces. Then, finite element analysis was performed according to the calculated maximum loads and symmetrical and unsymmetrical boundary conditions. Reinforcements were performed in the zones of stress intensity to reduce stress and again finite element analysis was performed. ANSYS Workbench finite element package program is used in finite element analysis.
