Structure Optimization of Vibrating Feeder Based on Inertia Release by Ningning Xu, Xinwen Wang, Chi Yu, Sanpeng Gong, Dongdong Lin, Xing Su

“…In order to reduce the stress on the beam of the vibrating feeder, three structural improvement schemes were proposed, which were constructing a statically indeterminate structure, increasing the width of the rib-stiffened plates on the beam, and increasing the internal spacing of the beam. Then, these three schemes were compared using the FEM. …”
