Integrated FEM Evaluation and Optimization of Excavation, Loading, and ROPS/FOPS Systems in a Skid-Steer Loader
This study proposes an integrated finite element methodology for evaluating and redesigning three critical subsystems of an XCMG XC740K skid-steer loader: the excavation attachment, the arm–bucket charging system, and the ROPS/FOPS operator protection cab. The components were reconstructed by reverse engineering and 3D...
